Just got this call from a Lady(Injun, i think going by the accent) for an Oracle Applications role at the DWP for 200/day?.

Has the market really gone to the dogs or is she just taking the piss!

Have seen some advertised (think it was in Leeds) for as low as £150 per day.

Apparently Tech Mahindra and the other Indian lot have subcontracted work from DWP,HP,EDS etc....

Yep, Tech Mahindra have taken over a lot of stuff at Barclays I was doing a couple of years ago for £550 / day. They seem to be offering about £180-£250 / day for the same role. I never bother applying.

at a different angle,iam beginning to think it's actually the agencies who are real culprit by taking advantage of the injun's willingness to work for lesser rates

Well £200 a day is good compared to £0 a day on the bench.....

It's fairly clear that quite a few projects are running out of money so the PM's are looking for cheaper 'creative' options - for example fixed term contracts on a modest permie salary.

Just saw this on jobserve for a oracle role in North West

ONLY local candidates will be considered due to tight budgets, and an immediate starter must be available. Please send your CV to (see below)

is this not discrimination?
