State of the Market

Friday was interesting. Two job offers and a contract offer on the same day. Took the better permie job.

Congrats. Best of luck with it.



To anyone despairing, if LM can find work in this market...

More CV harvesting from pimps who I thought were better than that - or they claim to be!

Yes, looking at you Venturi.

If it had been a six month contract, it might have been more tempting but by the time they spelt out the full perm package, it became far more appealing.

Did you have any bench time or is this back to back with your recent contract/gig?

Well done, considering the current market.

I wouldn't be surprised if hiring managers are taking bets on how low can it go.

Venturi have wasted a lot of my time and I've never got anything out of them.

IntecSelect are one other absolute ‘waste of space, and liars” bunch.
Never ever touching them even with a barge pole in future.

Money isnt the only gripe at the mo. Companies and agencies are treating candidates like dirt.

I hear alot of people saying that Covid is a great excuse for a CV gap, but as ridiculous as it is, many hiring managers I have come across have looked down on the CV gap. They dont give a toss.

It's a problem when you're applying through the normal channels and they;re looking for a simple way to bin 80 our 100 CVs.
