Risk ManagementBlame transfer aspect too

Originally posted by tractor View PostTo be fair, there is a lot of risk aversion to blame there too - mostly fear of tax liability transfer, fuelled mercilessly by ATSCO and REC and their own legal teams.

Originally posted by tractor View PostBeen thinking about this recently. I had an agent contact me about a role (350) pretty low rate for what they wanted. So I told them my min and never heard from them again. During the conversation, it turns out they are third tier.
So with all the layers of money grabbing bacteria between us and the client doing next to nothing for their money and siphoning off their cut, is it any wonder rates have stagnated/dropped between 2000 and now? Add in the IR35 'deterrent' and the 'safe haven' of umbrellas and it is even worse. I often wonder how many of the umbrella users would actually be outside IR35 if only they could be bothered or had the cojones to find out?
The major point being that first tier agents have hived off their cv sifter business process to agents lower in the food chain and in turn, some of those are doing the same.
