    Don't know anything about the warehouse you are working in but I have had that happen me before , I was working somewhere through an agency and got a call 1 eve at about 7pm to tell me there was no more work and not to go back the next day - found out later what happened was the company I was based in didn't pay the recruitment agency the fees for getting staff in so the rec agency just pulled all their staff out.

    That's mad and as a worker with a recruitment agency you haven't got a leg to stand on, absolutely no job stability. I got that very same call on Monday, no more work and that they were "overcapped" for pickers was the explanation I got. Was this warehouse you were with a freight and transportation company by any chance?

    I wasn't in a warehouse, I was working in an office in the accounts department so completely different job but the situation sounded the same that's why I commented on it. No proper notice given just got that call at 7pm not to go back the next day, it was only in later years when I went to work in the accounts dept for a recruitment agency I found out how they work and if companies are not paying the fees the just pull the staff - its horrible and as you said you don't have a leg to stand on - could you get on to the company direct and see if they are hiring?

    I was told by a recruiter, that I was successful at interview, and that she was just waiting now on request from the hiring manager for one role. That was in January, I still haven't started. Recruiter sometimes have a bad rep, in some cases like, you have described they deserve it.

    This maybe off topic but Connect Recruitment is shocking poor quality of service. It would be easier to get the Pope on the phone and if you are lucky to get them on the phone they will tell you that they will ring back and never do plus they are rude and short on the phone that's only if you get though to them. I don't think they have any thoughts for the employee.
