State of the Market

[AndrewK]

This is a **** up situation and it needs to stop. Problem is that neither us knows how to stop recruiters making up fake job advertisements. I see a lot. I thought hosting a site in Africa or Russia, but then I read some of forums here on legality and stuff. I have motivation when on the bench to may be build a website, but when I am off it, the idea, it goes for a button

Regarding the state of the market, I am starting to get worried just a tiny little bit. The recent content in September does provide fruit for thought. I suppose that we, contractors, are getting the squeeze from both ends: the chancers from India or somewhere abroad attempting to get in the UK market with cheap rates and the lock down / freeze out from London financial services, especially, investment banking and the latter effect is a time-delay effect of months.

The obvious question then what is the trend for permanent side of the fence? Because if that side is also failing them we could be in eventual trouble.

Sorry I don't follow you. What fake adverts you are talking about. There is no any adverts at all - neither fake or genuine. 3 adverts in 2 days

In C#, that's not the only Finance IT contract work out there, or not, these days .

Sorry, but you really do tend to generalise

Handy hint: Read your left-to-right problem from right-to-left, then it becomes a solution. Try not to tell the market what it should be doing.

"days 2 in adverts 3, genuine or fake neither - all at adverts any no is there."

Nope, you're going to have to clarify that one fella.

A few phonecalls/ leads end of august begining of sept but has dropped off in last couple of weeks UK wise, a few calls for european contracts.

So last few weekes very quiet and am noticing Uk recruiters on linkedin that normally were just UK recruiting are spreading their net further afield in europe now
