Originally posted by edison View PostI've been negotiating with several agencies over the last few weeks to recruit a fairly large number of permies for a couple of clients. I've been quite shocked at how high the percentage fees are compared to what was the norm about 12-18 months ago. Several said they have so much work on, they have increased their fees. In one case it's almost double what the same agency was charging me at a different client in 2020.
Does this mean we might see a relative downturn for contractors v perms, at least in the next few months?Originally posted by mattster View Post
I suppose that depends on whether there is a big increase in perm demand relative to contractor, or whether this big increase is across the board. Hopefully the latter, any idea?

been on the bench a week now now, but the phone calls are encouraging, had one interview for a good rate, until they mentioned some technical pairing interview, and they saw my reaction and I didn't ask any more questions, I know where that interview wentComment

I have had about six approaches for a position at Luxoft.
I rejected out of hand because I have had bad experiences with them before but now because they are a Russian company. I suspect they are going to have big problems hiring staff going forward.Comment
