Those Knutford jobs

[Churchill]

Never heard of 'em. The only Knutsford I know of is a service station on the M6 where I was forever getiing stranded whilst hitchhiking.

As others have probably mentioned, Barclays have a place called Radbroke Hall out in Knutsford. Probably got some Indian based off-shoring firm in who want plenty cheapness much quickness!

The won't get anyone from the UK on that reate so will then use it as justification to bring in one of their own chaps from Sunnier Climes...

Perhaps 40k a year is the going permie rate for that role but the permie headline rate is not the overall cost of emoployment. On top of that 40k is employers NI, pension contributions, training and holiday/sickness pay. That 40k is more like 60k with everything taken into account.

What we found at BT was they basically advertised the roles at half the day rate

You know that and I know that, but the govt body who are so called policing it will likely accept it. If you have a documented case then get it reported.

All the ones that I've been getting have now changed the location to Manchester, agents must be reading this board

It's more likely that stating Knutsford means that people know who the end client is - Manchester makes that a little harder!

Interesting

a permie salary of 44k per year puts you in the top 10% of salary earners in the uk.

so if £190 is about 40k then you would be in the top 15 - ok I know that you have all of your employer costs coming out of this but also if you run a limited you can get the relevant tax breaks etc and probably end up with similar in the back pocket figures to the permie salary.

So the next question is what would you guys be happy with? A salary in the top 5% in the country (equates to about £58k per year)

I think in these recesions struck times a little bit of intelligence may come in useful.

I mean 100% of £180 per day is a fu<k lot more the 0% of £500 per day!

Sorry, that was uncalled for.
