Depends what industry, method of resource supply and level of security / credit check clearance required.
If you do an IB, though a consultancy, it can be the next day.
If you go "direct" or through an agency, then it can take 5 weeks.
Hence, why there are so many, expensive, consultancies, engaged, in finance.

I've had next dayers. I've also had a client wait for a month but within the next two weeks feels like the norm.

Originally posted by AnotherGuy View PostYeah, I was wondering the same. In my head "urgent" should equal to a higher pay rate, as a consequence of trying to get someone ASAP.
Try to call a plumber last minute for something urgent... that's not cheap
But most of these roles are paying even below market, so what's the point? Are these targeted to bench contractors who maybe need to money and will more willingly accept peanuts?

I urgently wish to engage your services for this very, very low rate.

Just looks like a fairly standard partner/advertising approach to me.

Looks like its just a feed from Jobserve. Possibly just there for SEO.

Not sure where you get the usual 10 days from. Thinking back over the last 5 gigs the average number of days between interview and start is under 5.
I've done 2 interviews Wednesday and start on Monday and even the public sector gig was interview Thursday start a week on Monday.
None of the above stated urgent on them but Asap was always the understanding once I'd spoken to them.
just wondering if anyone had clicked on it, found a gig and how long it took to get onsite (considering it is URGENT). The 10 days was just an example.

Anyone gen-yoo-ein-lee got a gig from one of them? How "urgent" was URGENT? Next day or the usual 10 days before onsite?
