The only time contractors are used is when the consultancy can't find the right skills at all and will lose the contract if they don't find someone.
If they have someone with half the skills who can be "developed" in that role and is acceptable to the client you don't get a look in."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
