My profile on there says "Market Rate".

Never heard anything from there, though.

I was going to register and then this happened:
I don't think that I will bother.

It's all IT work, what's the point in that?

[PAH]

There are people asking for £13-£14 an hour there

After tax and other deductables, they'd be better off permie on minimum wage. Dumb b'stards. Must be related to Alan B'stard MP.

If we all register and ask for silly high rates we can ramp up the industry like they do with shares!

Doomed......

I've just checked out some of the entries - I'm shocked that some of the rates have come down so much!

I know, people seem to be a bit desperate. Let's see what the new year brings.

Actually it's very good to see what other contractors in your field are asking for and so to remain competitive!

Oh my God. You can actually see other contractors' personal work experience and 'sales pitch' details.

I've just spotted someone I've worked with before just from the previous experience, I can't believe he's asking for that much.

Just registered.

But any website which requires me to manually input all of my experience and work history is a website I don't have time for. Not even an 'upload CV' option.

Terrible.

Yes it was a pain to get all the experience in, the good thing about it though it made me re-read bits of my CV that I had not read for a while and I took the opportunity to update that too!

[gingerjedi]

I just registered, there's big flaw though.

Why can't I just upload a CV? It has everything anyone would need?

I can't be bothered if they can’t provide this facility.

I just came across it, I'm going to register - lets see what happens!

I registered on there a couple of months ago. Not heard a dicky bird....
