Can an employment agency be forced to divulge who their clients are?

I have seen a job advertised on a recruitment website and I know I would be perfect for that job. for some reason the agency in question refuse too pass on my details to the prospective employer....I dont know why.Is there anyway they can be forced to tell me who the employer is?

I would have to say absolutely not. One of the reasons an employment agency is given a job order by a company is to screen out those that would not be suitable for a job. Rather than create an antagonistic relationship with this agency, simply ask them why they don’t feel this is a fit and then listen to what is being said in as objective a manner as possible, as if you were listening for a friend instead of listening for you. If you feel they’re completely wrong, then state your case in a calm manner. If you realize that what they’ve said is the truth, thank them for the information and ask them to keep you in mind for any openings that are more appropriate and move on to the next thing; it may be an even better opportunity for you.
