Outside IR35 JobBoard / Alert Service

If it ain't broken why waste money fixing it?

Jobserve still my go-to...

Got sent this by someone I know. They have built a job board solely for UK Contracts. One neat feature is you can filter by IR35 status.

https://freelanceruk.co.uk/jobs/?ir3...Outside%20IR35

Why do you 'refine by salary range' when really it should be 'hourly rate' range? Unless, of course, the expectation is that all these outside IR35 workers are salaried

The Salary filter also doesn't work properly. How does selecting £20-30 an hour return a gig offering £900-1100 a day? That assumes you're working 30 hours a day if you're on £30 an hour and charging £900 a day...

FWIW - after following this thread I used freelanceruk.co.uk and received two offers (both outside) from agencies I have had no prior experience with (I also had two interviews via LI contacts). Accepted one of the engagements and start a week Monday.
The keyword search facility needs working on, but I thought the interface was significantly better than JS

So, thank you Andy for sharing the link!

Congratulations!

Quite.

In terms of ease, it is the only platform I will look at; the belief being that most, if not all jobs are pasted across the same top four or five platforms.

And of them, JS still works for me. Indeed the older of the two 'views' is what I use. Sticking a job advert up should follow the same ideas as a piece of card in the Post Office Quick Ads window; a cursory scan should be all you need to commit to, to see if it worth digger a little deeper.

I can't believe how bad Jobserve's platforms still are. Barely seems to have changed from the mid 90s in terms of look and functionality.

I had asked JobServe if they were going to add an IR35 filter.

Not unreasonably they just said, stick 'Outside' in the additional criteria box and 'that'll cover you.' And that is what I did.

I'd agree that LinkedIn is a great place to be found, but jobboards do serve a purpose for keeping an eye on the market and being alerted to new roles.

Craft a half decent LinkedIn profile and I've not been on a job board in years
