It seems to me it's all about reputational risk for HSBC. They don't want attract the kind of bad publicity the BBC have had over this.
Once they realise they face other rep risks, because of projects not completed, failing systems etc., and when they realise their original concerns were largely unfounded HSBC will hire contractors once more.Cats are evil.Comment

I am at HSBC and I can confirm that it is true. I will not be renewed however the interesting part was about turning me from Contractor to a Permie which cant happen because... HSBC has a hiring freeze on at the moment in my department.
I suspect this is more a money saving thing under the guise of IR35 as they haven't performed well. They terminated a few contractors in March before the end of their contract dates. They aren't happy as they are losing a lot of experience and people who can make things happen.Last edited by ContractorHardman; 2 May 2019, 09:58.Comment

Spoke to a contractor at HSBC recently - and they are going permie there soon. They have lost permie headcount recently within their team, so assume they can recruit to fill that space.Comment

Or is it just a fancy name to an Umbrella inside IR35?Comment

If you have been at an organisation as an outside IR35 contractor and are looking to switch perm or it is deemed inside ir35, you will need to be prepared to cough up the previous years tax and penalties as you can guarantee HMRC will come looking. Personally there is is no way I would stay and switch status without having money to cover the previous years tax, interest and penalties. I have always had this in the back of my mind which is why I'm very reluctant to do more than 2 years on a gig and never more than 3. Mainly the cost to take me to a tribunal will be more than any Employers NI payments for each engagement.
My contract finishes in Sept. project is gonna extend beyond that, but might be a good time to go somewhere else to lose that traverse of contractor > permie.Comment

I was offered a role through third party
I was offered a contract role at HSBC by Third Party - after reading this thread , I am bit puzzled now!
Not sure what is the difference it is going to make if you contracting via Third Party or Resource Solution?
Any recent experience using Third-party pls?Comment
