I'm in a role currently so I did this just to enquire about rates for a role which looked a good fit, & came to me via JS email.
Rather than apply via JS I found the recruiter's email & asked him if the role was inside IR35, and what the expected rates were. He came back saying it was inside, & that he'd received >100 applications, but could I send my CV and my 'best rate' for 'inside roles'. I didn't respond.
But it made me wonder, are we now (as 'contractors') expected to enter a bidding war with agents for these inside IR35 scrapings, with the lowest bidder securing the slots?
