    Clearsky Accounting - Are they sinking? Complete Chaos

    Thanks, All, for your comments. Sure, I will make a move away from them, but I need to get my tax returns and other pending things from them all submitted and completed first before I start that process. I did ask around to see what the process is to move away from them and how cooperative...

    Clearsky Accounting - Are they sinking? Complete Chaos

    Does anyone here use Clearksky Accounting? Are they trying to close their accounting department or something. In the last about 2 years, I have been seeing their quality, responsiveness etc degrade progressively. In the last year, they have absolutely descended into chaos. Accounts are late...

    Project manager - RE-TRAINING but in what?

    IMO chasing these so-called ‘hot’ things and learning them generally leads you nowhere tangible and gainful. There are millions of hot things going on and these hot things get abandoned in less than few weeks or months for few other brand new hot things, thanks to all these open source...

    Sounds like cloudstreamglobal :) Just beware they are a direct front for Wipro, and they lure people into their roles (that does not exist) to harvest CVs for Wipro. Time wasters indeed! Stay clear of them!

    Indeed, but IntectSelect guys in particular not only run these fake job ads, they actually put you through some torture and process, waste your time, and finally you get to know that you were chasing a fake job after a lot of torture and time lapse. Been there, hence alerted! What a bunch of...

    Intec Select are on their spree Once again to waste time of people with their Same 650/day 100% remote outside IR35 roles :) Just beware of those fake ads specifically. Just noticed it now, and wanted to heads-up for others who might fall for them. If you do fall for it, typically You will go...

    State of the Market

    Any good news, new contract / perm sorted out for any of you guys? Mine is 6-months in bench as of tomorrow! Absolute silence in the market, no calls whatsoever so far in the past few weeks certainly. Having said that, I am getting slowly busy with my own plan B business and turning it into...

    Ever heard of SourceLast inviting for interviews via LinkedIn?

    I have received a few liners INmail in LinkedIn asking if I would be ok to take an interview this week, from someone called SourceLast. No other information as to what this interview is about, with who, etc. Also, I have not applied for any job or contract via LinkedIn. Has anyone had this...

    Recruiters Asking About Interviews

    They have a different name for themselves, for a reason. Pimps!

    State of the Market

    Unfortunate, isn't it. More likely the pimp was selling to you a fake job, and he was tracking you for a few days/weeks with empty updates, to see if you end up getting on to something else and he can, in the guise of a chat / updates, check what other roles are going on in the market, so he...

    Recruiters Asking About Interviews

    The only language the pimps understand is lie. So just do that. Tell them he/she is the first call in the whole week.. That lie will go well anyway in the current market, and that will shut them up and make them struggle to blabber any further about their fake job that they were calling you...

    Its shameful to see that the ClientCos are totally trusting shelf-stacking pimps with their CTR+F tricks,in order to get the ClientCo's next best IT contractor. Crazy!

    State of the Market

    Indeed. I am fed up of seeing the Joseph Harry fake ad rubbish every single day with high rates. However, I don't apply to theirs because I have had a bad taste of these similar high rate fake job posts from one other rubbish agency called Intec Select... Bloody fake job posters. Intec Select...
