    you have two options -
    1. If you have never worked with that particular talent scout before, and the agency doesn't have an exclusive with the scout, the maybe try to leverage going direct for more cash. or...
    2. Work with the headhunter for the job because its a small world and you don't want it biting you back in the future. Maybe the job will suck and the guy will be a total wanker (maybe he's just using you to get to your cousin) and you will need this scout to find you another job.

    Just because some pud that works on the inside recognized your work from before, liked it, doesn't mean you should have some type of forged relationship with him. He should have contacted you way back when by saying something like - hey man, if you are ever interested in joining us, contact me. Recognizing your work should be in your favor and help you get the job, not saving the company money.

    So, about this hot cousin...
