Urgent Contracts link

[MrMarkyMark]

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.

If I remember rightly CUK and Technojobs are owned by the same people.

It's good to know

I didn't want to be the one to point that out

Yeah, 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?

This was sort of what I was getting at. By and large all contracts/gigs could be deemed "URGENT" but in reality it never works out that way. Only noticed today that they were all from Technojobs.

When the word 'urgent' appears in a job ad., it invariably translates to 'very low rate'.

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

Technojobs advertise on the site so appear to be a preferred supplier of some sort so they offered and get a link which is portal for them...

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

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

Technojobs , not Jobserve.

I don't understand this post. You mean a mail from an agent saying urgent on it or a jobserv ad saying urgent on it?

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.

No, the Urgent Contracts link over there ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>>>>>>

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?
