State of the Market

[dsc]

Is this for a perm position or an outside IR35 contract?

[dx4100]

I guess the key question if this is related to the IR35 reforms or clear evidence we are about to hit a recession.

I go for the latter...

As regards IT contracting, I'd say we've been in a recession quite some time already..

For those intending to jump ship because of IR35 this will give you an idea of how the market is

Wow this market is so dead its ridiculous. Theres almost literally no jobs on any boards for what I do.

No calls. No nothing.

How do all the recruitment consultants survive?

Got a feeling its going to be a very long time on the bench

Time to look at alternative revenue streams

Don’t give up, keep plugging away there are roles out there!

I was saying the same two weeks ago when my phone wasn’t ringing while looking at the same roles over and over on the job boards. I was ready to face the New Year on the bench but I’ve now landed a gig.

Just be relentless

The friday joker calls, the bob agencies, the recruiters who want a friend to talk to for a while, the bottom feeder roles offering little more than a good brickie - this is what the bottom looks like.

good news is that when it bounces it will be a solid bounce.

old hands will be reading books and doing certs, newbies will be trawling through netflix clicking refresh on jobserve every 30 seconds although, having heard and seen the state of the market this week the latter probably describes the contract recruitment desks of most agencies right now.
