    Box of chocs sounds like a great idea, I would also write a recommendation for their linkedin account as well.

    Second the linked in account thank you if your on it.

    If you want to do card/chocs go for it - will get them recognised at work for a job well done.
  • thanks everyone! I'm going to write a thank you letter and get something they can all share at work. Cheers
  • the agency should be thanking YOU, for earning them a fat wedge commission (both while temping, and no doubt the added signoff to permanent..)

    I once sent an agency a box of chocs and a card when they got me a job I really wanted. I'd kind of got to know the consultants there really well, and I was so made up to get the job I wanted to do something to say thanks. I thought they could all share the chocs between them, so they'd all get to benefit. I'd recommend that if you want to thank them.

    When I worked in recruitment I got many gifts from candidates I'd placed - chocolates, wine, bottle of malt whisky (yeeuuch!) but what meant the most was the thank you cards. I've kept them all.

    This was a long time ago and I think the LinkedIn recommendation would probably be really appreciated.

    Congratulations on getting the job. A recruitment consultant can only open the door - you've made your way through it.
  • I'd just like to add my congratulations. Sometimes we just need to have our potential realised and be given a chance. Which is how I landed my present job. After re-training I hit against the no experience tag - luckily where I work now I was given a chance as they liked me and thought I was keen and would fit in, personality wise. Good luck and it certainly does no harm to thank thoses for getting you that break.
    Back on the trains again!
