I'm conducting some research and am looking for some contractors to do a quick survey

What are you research?
What kind of information are you after?
What is your data privacy policy?
Why are you doing this research?
Who are the main stakeholders?
Who will benefit?
What kind of contractors are you considering?
Why should be hand over potentially valuable information to some anonymous person on the internet?

The amount of effort put in to the request doesn't bode well does it.

The hashtags they've littered the post with are all about UX design but the post is in the IR35 Reform forum.

Are HMRC looking to redesign CEST to make the questions even more ambiguous?

HMRC have enough people already who can do that..

And they don't need to because HMRC also have gov.uk guidelines to (ab)use.

Perhaps they're look to gamify it and got a fashion designer to draw some nice piccies? I envision something retro, like 3D Monster Maze. But with no exit and the T-rex getting faster and faster.

I'm pretty certain someone that hastags absolutely everything really isn't going to know 3D Monster Maze.

Or maybe Gauntlet with each enemy being another (mis)interpretation of law by HMRC until finally, at the end, you're declared inside.

Loved 3D Monster Maze - it literally taught me the meaning of the word Posthumously.
