it's been 3 days maybe the bench is getting to me

IT IS A ONE YEAR FIXED TERM EMPLOYMENTOriginally posted by Joe Black View PostFollowing on from my post about a recruitment company in India I was wondering whether this sounded better? They have offices in five countries apparently:
Tempted, but seems Shiva is based in Chennai, India, once again...
This usually means same pay as permie, but contract for 1 year.

Welcome on board. I was being sarcastic.Originally posted by Joe Black View PostEh, reasons leading to that conclusion?
If they are legit then Shiva, Dhanoop...and 'Joseph S' seem to have a different idea of what most here think of as a job description. Quite possible of course, as in some places 'a job' is all that is needed...
...or occasionally a bit more.
They're probably cv fishing so that they can match your cv to Bob.
