Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View Post99% of contracts in what I do (Workday) are still inside - despite clients generally having zero people with the same skills, and most assignments being one-off projects, way outside business as usual activities.
I guess it's somewhat dependent on the sector.
There are more contracts about though, which is slightly encouraging.
As I won't work inside, I've been a permie for the last couple of years, waiting it out to see if things improve.

I have noticed that I am being approached a lot more for contract roles at the likes of Infosys, Tata, Crap Gemini etc etc.
An inevitable effect of IR35?Comment

maket is really moving at the minute, something will need to give in the London market eventually, might take a while but they can't get getting and retaining the best candidates.

I suspect they want a few high rates to justify the chancers they are putting forwards on £500pdComment

Not many contracts at the moment for my line of work (UX and UI Design) although the few roles I've been contacted for are fairly well paid.
One contract in particular has the highest rate I've ever been put forward at (almost £200 a day higher than my highest rate so far). The recruiter clearly said "the client is looking for someone because the resource they have is underperforming and they want to get rid of them". OK, no pressure there
Lots more roles for User Researchers and Service Designers...these seem to be the hot trends now.Comment

Finished up at a place and loathe to put my CV online as the calls from the "jabappatunity" types are getting me down as it is. Soon, though.
