I've obviously missed something, but what is an Employed Consultant. I don't mean a management consultant employed by Deloittes, for example, but I'm seeing this on some IT contract adverts at the moment.

I think its an attempt to embed freelancers into consulting companies over longer terms. I have a few irons in this sort of fire myself. This is good
The down side of this would be crap like managed benches where an employment agency tells a customers you belong to them and you are their b!tches. This is bad -

The typical model is to tell companies that they can reduce their contract cost by removing contractors and replacing them with their own 'employed consultants'. They then offer the contract roles on a fixed term employee basis at a much lower rate than they would have been on a daily rate. Winning applicants become employees of the agency for the period of the contract.
Downside - you are an employee
Upside - not a lotComment

Upside - you pay peanuts and get monkeys. So the idea dies a death for another few years until another agency thinks of the scheme.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
