Client receives CV from 2 agencies Hi I just wondered if anyone had any advice. I emailed a candidate last week a jd - she said she was interested and sent me her cv a few days later. However on the same day she emailed me her cv she sent it to another agency who were advertising the job as well. However they didn't contact her to discuss the role or client and just sent her cv across. As their cv reached the client first the cient feels its only fair to go with them. I have emailed the client email conversations between myself and the client confirming my side but they don't want to get caught in the middle.. Any advice appreciated
