No, the agency is Ampstek and the consultancy is Mphasis.
They seem one of the better Indian outfits from what I've seen/heard.Comment

Then when your time is up you pack up your stuff and leave.Comment

Aside from the quantity of roles being listed, I've also noticed that quality control is sometimes lacking at JobServe.
There was one advert I saw a few weeks ago, which mentioned "Cyber Centre Plus Certification". I assume that they meant "Cyber Essentials Plus". "Centre" and "Essentials" sound vaguely similar over the phone, particularly if there's background noise and the person writing the advert isn't familiar with the topic.
Today, I saw this advert:
Project Manager- financial crime - Edinburgh - April-02-2023 (UyXe8) (jobserve.com)
"The contract will be working to set up a financial crime, using 3rd party development teams."
I hope there's a missing word, i.e. that's supposed to say "set up a financial crime unit"!Comment

I just checked Jobserve and filtering out all of the irrelevant crap there are five contract roles for my skillset offering £700-£900 inside IR35 - reading the specs they all seem to be with 2 or three banks that are always looking for people with my skillset.
There is one outlier - a DV cleared role in Gloucester paying £750 a day which I have never seen before.
Total Jobs has a similar amount of jobs - Linked In looks the best bet.Comment
