The day rate is inside pjt

[pjt]

Seen a job advertised at £500 per day on LI, agent then came back and said oh it’s £400 now or FTC £70k …is day rate better? They won’t do perm just £400 or £70k …not to say I’ll even get a look in …I’m thing day rate is better. Any thoughts??

Depends if the day rate is inside or outside IR35 if its outside then the day rate wins. If its inside then I don't think theirs much in it between FTC or day rate but that was on a very quick check...

I must have missed something. What are these tags on LI?

The only ones I'm aware of are where you @ someone or litter posts with hashtags. Are there things you can add to your profile too?

Yes, you can add tags so the LI AI and the software enabled on the recruiter side of LI can see you properly.

As far as I know the Li algo does not read your CV.

The better way to optimise your tags is to run seperate post and job board searches, record the tags they were searching for and then enable those tags onto your own profile.

Does seem that this recent bounce was nothing to get excited about.

I was concerned about those people predicating that it would take 18mths from 04/2025. Now it does seem more than likely it will take at least that long.

I got an interview off the back of it but it seems to be packing up for Christmas now.

Problem is with the amount of people available it will take a while to work through plus there is next to no job/contract liquidity as people are keeping hold of what they have.

You can add only 5 skills to the 'About' section so have to choose them wisely. But you can add 100 in total that you can use against each gig you do.

I think they may mean you can add in tech/industry buzzwords about what you do/offer in the 'About' section.

I realised I was missing some descriptions for my last 3/4 gigs, so I have tarted my profile up.

Also was offered a Premium Business promotion for £15pm for two months. I will cancel before it goes back up.
