I do a contract search for roles within 100 miles and its up over 1500 at the moment. (and I live arse end of nowhere)
1000 has been about the average for the past few years so I reckon thats not too bad.
Not looked for a bit but having looked recently I'd say rates were up 10% or so.?

Also looks like the newer web tech's like AngularJS/NodeJS etc are being advertised more than the straight ASP.NET roles?

Probably Jobserve isnt used as widespread by agencies as it used to be. A couple of agents have said that they dont use Jobserve because of the high prices.
There are plenty of other job boards for them to use (compared to maybe five years back)

Yeah I've noticed that too - I think 2 things have happened:
1) after several years of trying real hard, a lot of companies are finally getting permies in the places where contractors used to feast
2) a lot of companies have demoted 'unessential' projects in these troubling economic times (yeah we still ain't out of the woods), leaving less for ad hoc contractors and more system maintenance/minor tweaks to the permies (see point 1)
I get the impression more and more ppl are being benched - what's the general concensus??

Basic asp.net c# sql search of jobserve (contracts within 5 miles of london) at 6pm showed just 40 job posts. That's much lower than it used to be.
Makes me think jobs are being advertised and filled via other means these days?...Last edited by hgllgh; 30 January 2015, 18:16.Tags: None
