Nothing about best thread or my forum advisor of the year award. They've been consumed by corporate greed and thrown us to the dogs.

subscription cost and quality of service

There is a site called contractonlyjobs which doesn't deal with direct gigs but that's a pile of rubbish as well. There is a button to filter contract jobs in the search... Wtf??
Anything scraped can't be worth it. If you are looking you should be on the same places they scrape from so should be able to spot them.
It would be worth finding out who the company is and check out their filing history.
when i decided to cancel my membership same day, the response was that i wouldn't get a refund because i wasn't a consumer protected by UK consumer rights, but assumed to be a company by default. I don't even know whether that's legal, given i (and many others) are NOT companies but natural persons, and therefore, consumers.Comment

We do use contract spy but only via their twitter feed.
