I spoke with an agent about a role they said they took advice from the Umbrella that inside IR35 was less risk to them so they advertised accordingly. Problem is the end client did not have a blanket ban policy, the contract had not been drafted/ negotiated, no SOW and working conditions were not known. All that existed was a 1 page job spec and a advert so this doesnt even reach CEST stage. In my view the advertising stage is way too early to specify inside or outside unless there is a clear blanket ban policy coming from the client.

if the agent recommended a specific umbrella you can bet your house on it, they have a self interest by receiving a fee from them or they are owner of said umbrella -

It sounds like the agency don't have a clue (they won't be alone).His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment
