Is it really true that contractors are only offered permie roles if they aren't any good?
I've known as few very good contractors offered permanent roles (and declined them) as the company has effectively had a probation period from the individual and is happy with their work.Last edited by Klodge; 29 March 2019, 19:17.Comment

Got offered a permanent role after an initial project fairly recently, didn't take it but I thought it was because they liked the work so much, good to know that feeling it wasn't just that may have been on the money didn't realize it was so common that perm jobs were good for helping the company save money... always good to know.Comment

It's not usually about saving money either. It's usually driven by the hiring manager envy. This is too why I became a contractor!Comment
