I am pretty thankful that I did not go forward working with Hays for a recent contract. Imagine a pushy used car salesman going to the effort of emailing you directly and telling you youre not qualified for a rate (which everywhere else seems to match or offer). After recent health issues and a really low rate, I decline a offer and was met with a passive aggressive personal email. Completely unprofessional. I had a uneasy feeling from day one and I am really glad I didn't go with this company. Don't believe them, there are plenty of people who will pay you what you are worth. They just want to pocket commission.
