State of the Market

If you think DEI is bad now, wait till Labour get in.

Lol. There’s no one more DEI than the Tories. Just look at all the dross they’ve churned though on their front bench in the name of diversity.



As for the rest of the country, the Tories have been hard at work rubbing our noses in diversity with the millions of permanent non E U immi grants they’ve imported (and continue to import) over the past many years. That’s what’s going to have a decades long impact on our job market..

Rubbish, white working-class boys are one of the most disadvantaged of all.

haha. The two people who finished top of the year - Cambridge Chemistry and Physics Triposes, both white working class. I recall the Chem guy telling me most of his classmates were in prison. Amazing what happens when you open a book.

Wow. You've picked two individuals. Must be true.

It's practically May now...

Still waiting for some feedback on the 10+ permie applications I've sent back at the end of March...Also turns out my current client had a change of heart and might actually be able to offer me a perm position [fingers crossed x 10]

If i recall correctly, last years April bounce lasted into the middle of May. This years April bounce fizzled out before the middle of April.

The inflation data in the US killed any chance of multiple interest rate cuts this year everywhere, including the EU and UK. That seemed to have caused a major change of sentiment, a turn for the even worse.

I wouldn't hold your breath if you haven't heard anything by now after a month.

I'm finding that I don't even get a rejection notification for over half my perm applications.

Agent phone me, 2 days onsite, central London, sc cleared, £400 inside.

I turned him down. I got the impression he was taking the Michael.

Is this ever going to end?

That's the issue, half the applications didn't even get an auto rejection which is kind of unusual, but then again, maybe not so much anymore.
