Contract map of the UK

[JohnJizzle]

seems to be loads up north. Same day rate as london too (SQL)

[GlenW]

Anywhere north of Birmingham, forget it unless you like Public Sector, <£200 a day caught by IR35 contracts, working for some Labour loving left wing gimp.

Apart from Leeds and Manchester of course, although nowhere near as many as London, there are quite a few decent contracts around here.

Contract Hotspots outside of London

Anywhere north of Birmingham, forget it unless you like Public Sector, <£200 a day caught by IR35 contracts, working for some Labour loving left wing gimp.

In Wales there's Cardiff and Swansea, low rates, generally crap. Even the Bob's won't work there.

Cheltenham because of GCHQ and a few other IT companies.

Cambridge, high tech, mini hotspot, but you'll need a PhD just to have the agent put you forward.

M4 Corridor from London, covering Slough, Maidenhead, Reading, Oxford, Newbury, Swindon, Bath/Chippenham and Bristol. Plenty of contracts along there. Average rates though.

Deep south - Portsmouth/Southampton, Exeter, Plymouth


That's about it. To sum it up, only London is a true hotspot, with plenty of work and good rates. Everywhere else is generally meh.

The red dot is too large - should be more of a pin-prick in diameter over London

Once you've perfected the above and instinctively say "cawse" instead of "yes", we might let you in. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some eels to eat.

You'd think the daft twat would have thought of having letter tabs along the top of the "All Tracked Locations" to locate towns, instead of numbers

CUK has gone downhill ever since he bought it as well.

There used to be a really cool site Tracked Locations :: jobstats.co.uk ..

Hi folks,
I was just wondering if anyone has ever come across a contract map of the UK. A sort of heat map if you like, showing the hotspots around the country where there tends to be a hive of contract activity?

cheers

There used to be a really cool site Tracked Locations :: jobstats.co.uk

Which had all of the data you wanted, location, skills etc, It snapshotted Jobserve and was a great tool. It was purchased by someone part-time cretinous Suitytype code hacker from this site a number of years ago & has since died a death.

"Unfortunately this version of the site did not quite go to plan! As you may be aware the graphs and data on the site died a couple of years ago. I got involved in a couple of other interesting projects and these have shown me some lovely open source tools for managing the large volumes of data that are in this site. We plan to start work on the new version in the next couple of weeks and expect to have a new version of the site up and running in the summer. Thanks for your continued interest in the site"

Here's looking at you A!
