Chris Scholes said I had a job so I turned down other roles and then proceeded to ignore all calls and emails so I was out of work for a month longer, worst agent I've ever dealt with. Avoid ADE like the plague!

Barry. It's a shame you feel so strongly. The fact is my client decided not to offer you the position after he personally reference checked you. He found a more suitable candidate.
