Roles with rates like this I have seen filled with people from the new EU countries who had no experience working in the UK and needed some "history" in their CVs. After a year or two they would have moved on to something better paid.

Usually they run the model of:Originally posted by malvolio View PostFor a finance house, not DVLA...
- 1/3 bod salary,
- 1/3 back-office headcount, assets depreciation, equipment, rent, employee finding fee etc
- 1/3 profit.
*there might be some leeway but limited by bod downtime, relocation costs, visa costs etc.
So minimum a consultancy would go for is at least 3x min salary a bod would take.
40k x 3 = 120k / 228 = £526pd
Or at least that is what I've heard.Comment
