I got an email in my inbox the other day from NL with a role based in India.
It's a recruiter whose contacted me before.

On the bench as of Monday, still more Inside gigs than outside.
And the ones that are outside the pimps are taking the Proverbial on rate. Plus la change.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

There seems to be something afoot. I will occasionally receive emails from pimps offering me something that proves they've never read my CV but this week I received something that wasn't bad fit AND they phoned to follow up after a couple of days because I didn't respond.Comment

Lots of LI requests this morning about gigs (both permy and outside), I thought: This is odd for a Monday.

I'm currenty finding the matches are fairly good for the agents that call.
Rates either around asking, or low but agent is willing to go back to client to ask for more money, more information or both.
Its like some kind of agency 'service'.
The only thing that hasn't changed are the Indian agencies with rates £200-300 below market, asking if I can negotiate.
