    They also ignore emails & CVs of perfectly suitable contractors who live 2 minutes from their client site here!

    Useless!!

    Judging by this "daily rate" (sorry, I wouldnt get out of bed for that!) it would probably be a waste anyway!

    But normal contractors need not apply.
    None will apply for this, then the poster can bring in an ICT as they can not find 'suitable' skills locally.
    Indian takeaways started this in the 80's when advertising for an indian chef for 3 grand a year, no one applied so they got their cousin over from Bangalore.

    Nothing ever changes!
    The spiral only goes down!
