State of the Market

[WTFH]

This is true. My client recently posted for a developer on LI and got > 300 applications. Not one of them had real experience of the main skill being sought! I was able to find them 4 or 5 good candidates by posting to the jobs channel on some relevant Discord groups.

Is recruiting part of your contract? If not, you are SO FAR inside IR35…

Government to tackle 'economic dependency on net migration'

Should be a positive for contractors, if it happens.

I lost hope for the contractor market to improve anytime soon. Nobody wants to change the status quo. Consultancies got what they wanted and are not going to give it back. Labour are definitely not interested in helping contractors, because they want to grow their voter base--unionised permies. Large corps like it, because they can have access to a large pool of inexpensive permies. It's a win-win for the government and big business.
