Market Slow?

[NigelJK]

One pimp told me that there's currently alot of new contractors on the market who have made the move from Perm to Contract over Christmas.

Well my current pimp (one of the S3's) has told me the reason for the delay in processing my extension is that they're back office is very busy atm.

no. it's a fast & furious world of high demand, low supply and difficult if not downright daft delivery timescales. at least this week anyway.

Their back office

Is that a euphemism for uphill gardening?

That's just to lower your expectations so that you accept a lower rate.

Feb and March will be slow due to the new tax year being round the corner

April will be slow as they will be allocating budget and prioritising for the year but May will be boom time.

June July August will be dead because of summer holidays

There's 2 bank holidays in May (2nd and 30th) which means it will be a slow month for recuitment and then you hit the holiday season so September will be boom time IMO.
