Originally posted by edison View PostThe reason you want to go perm is critical. If you can't convey it clearly and authentically in a single sentence, it is very difficult to convince a recruiter or hiring manager you are serious. I know of cases recently where a contractor has joined for a perm role and already resigned before they were due to start to take up another contract role.Comment

Originally posted by pictavia View PostJob design is key to retaining good staff. Sadly, there are lots of permanent roles in software development that have little in the way of accountabilities or involvement with the business, just a technical resource picking up tickets from an agile board. I worked in HR systems for a large bank and the main reasons people gave in their exit questionnaires included low job satisfaction or a lack of career prospects; few left for more money. If managers want to retain IT staff, they need to offer exciting, varied roles with genuine prospects for career development.
Obviously now as a contractor maybe it doesn't matter as much anymore.Comment
