HELP! I want to go permi.

[andre05]

Hi, I have been contracting for this company for a couple of months and last week my manager has offered me this great permanent post. They are very keen on me but they do not want to pay the agency release fee. Is there anything I can do a part from waiting 6 months?

Pull yourself together man. They'll never take me alive!

Come to a creative compromise: e.g. in exchange for 6 months slumming it, they pay you a 15% signing-on bonus.

But I'd be wary about going permanent with a company that couldn't scrape together a 30% recruitment fee. Actually I'd just be wary about going permanent.

If the client is willing to shaft another company that is known to have a gaggle of tame lawyers, what might they do to you one day; you who'll have to go running around various conveyancing/divorce shops 'til they find a real solicitor?

Oh, and if an offer feels too good to be true, it often is.

Jeez, one born every minute.

Think of it as a finder's fee. Do they not think you were worth finding?

The payment of a "finders fee" is none of your business. It's between the client and your agency. Stay out of it.

Safer and more professional in the long run.

I think its quite a good time to go permie - b4 next recession.

mind you they will probably sack permies as well as contractors - someone slap me around until I come to my senses!
