The only offer that has been made is X - 21% and the only decision you have to make is whether or not that is acceptable to you.
As agent shennanigans go, this is pretty low level stuff and mostly to be expected.Comment

In matters where an agent has proffered a lesser rate, I immediately reply saying, 'Now I know the full scope of the role, I was actually going to suggest an increase of (equivalent to their £drop). However, why don't we just leave it where it is?"
And believe it or not, that has worked.Comment

As above, I applied for a role on JobServe which had a day rate advertised up to X day rate. However after I successfully get thru the interview with the end client the consultancy advises the day rate is 21% less a day.Comment

You are welcome.Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

"Consultancy" does not mean "Outside IR35". That only works if the consultancy is providing a complete turnkey solution, and even then your engagement may still fall foul of IR35. If all they are doing is providing manpower and/or skills, then inside IR35 is a very strong possibility.Blog? What blog...?Comment

For most contracts I’ll negotiate/agree the rate before the interview. If the ad says up to x then that will be x if I have all the required skills (or the important ones anyway). If they then try and renege on this after the interview I’d push back and walk if they didn’t stick to the original agreed rate.Comment
