It's fairly clear that quite a few projects are running out of money so the PM's are looking for cheaper 'creative' options - for example fixed term contracts on a modest permie salary.

Just saw this on jobserve for a oracle role in North West

ONLY local candidates will be considered due to tight budgets, and an immediate starter must be available. Please send your CV to (see below)

is this not discrimination?

Yep, Tech Mahindra have taken over a lot of stuff at Barclays I was doing a couple of years ago for £550 / day. They seem to be offering about £180-£250 / day for the same role. I never bother applying.
