    It's another HR cheat. If you take on someone on a contract basis and they turn out to be no good for any reason, you terminate their contract. If you take them on as a permie and they're no good, you have to go through all the dismissal hoops of formal warnings and the rest and still risk getting done for unfair or constructive dismissal.

        Thing is, if you want to break into IB then this might be a great way to do it. Yes you might have to become permanent, but for how long? You can stay there a year or so and then you quit and get a contract.

        IB is not the easiest field to break into so having any experience in it will help.

          Next!

          Did he mention to anyone else he's looking for 7 people?

          It will be interesting to see if he can get 7 contract/permies at knock down rates
