Understanding the IT contractor market

[PAH]

They need to know about opt in/out and what it means, they need to have a reasonable understanding of ir35 issues, they need to know the fundamentals of the role they are recruiting for.

Nah, you can bypass training the monkeys if it's worth another fiver an hour to me. I'll sort out the 'paperwork' for myself.

If only, well almost.

To be honest I'd rather the agents knew about their business rather than mine. If they require help regarding their understanding of certain aspects of a particular role then I'm more than happy to help them.

By helping an agent understand he/she will have a favourable view about my knowledge in that particular area.

Agents are good as middlemen, they open up the opportunity, I close the deal.

Simple as.
