State of the Market

The wider impact of this is that the recruitment agencies would be closing. Less tax being paid tomthe government etc.

Recruitment agents are usually the grads who didn't get any sort of grad job of uni. The Desmond's and 3rd classes. Not sure what kind of job they could find ATM, with seemingly no uptake from companies.

I can't imagine this situation changing in the next 12mths tbh. Not sure how people are finding contracts or getting renewed in this market.

My LinkedIn feed is littered with recruitment staff out of work they seem to be having a rough time at the moment. Based off what I see on LinkedIn they are probably being hit worse than IT.

I'm surprised any are still open tbh.

When did 8.30 to 5.30 become the working hours?

Agency just rang me about a role and said these are the hours ...am used to 9 to 5...seems a lot when you factor in at least an hour's commute too...

is this now the standard....even more so when the day rates are slashed working more for less
