I have managed to find several agencies which cover general
technical/IT based jobs, although you have managed to find some that I
didn't. I was hoping that a thorough search would come up with more
specialised agencies dealing with Technical Writing/Authoring
recruitment particularly.

Hi,

I understand your problem and I'm sorry I couldn't give you an agency
specifically for technical authors.
The reason why this clarification is somewhat late is because I
searched again and tried to come up with something more specific.
I was pretty sure that my results were as good as it's going to get
and my second search attempt basically confirmed it. Although I of
course cannot say with 100 % certainty that there is no agency
specifically aimed at technical authors, I would strongly suspect so.

I did manage to find some other general IT/technical recruitment
agency's which are also aimed at technical authors. If you need the
contact information for these new ones, please let me know.

I hope this has all been to your satisfaction!

Kind regards,
paul_b_18-ga

After spending a considerable length of time myself searching for
agencies specifically dealing with Technical Writing jobs, I'm
inclined to agree with the conclusions of the researcher on this
question. However, I do have a few more contact names now and the
reponse time was good and the communication clear and polite.
