Does your mother give any advice about off-topic postings to mailing
lists? Really.... this has *nothing* to do with Rails. Do you have no
generic freelancers' forum to post to? (www.freelancers.net at
least... :-/

anyhoo...
You don't say what country you're in, and with something such as this,
local laws will be key.

Quickly Googling Robert Half, I assume you're in the UK... if so, does
the contract talk about "associated schedules of employment"?
If so, it's probably a fairly generic freelance employment contract,
but it is unusual to have to sign it *before* even going on an
interview. Typically, they should have a terms and conditions which
would cover fees due upon introduction of candidates, but they're
applicable to their clients, not the contractors they're providing
employment too (unless you're working directly for them...). Without
more information about the specifics of the role, I'm sitting here
shrugging due to the wide range of reasons they could be asking you to
sign for.

Given that Robert Half seem to specialise in accountancy candidates,
not computing, I'm confused why you're a Rails developer going through
them for work. Have they advertised a position, or have you contacted
them speculatively?
