Mug (sorry, Agent) of the week...

You can probably get Eastern/Med europeans to do it for 20% less than UK rates but generally they have too much work at home and the rates are pretty good where they are. furthermore permies earn equivalent of uk salaries.

Bobs it is I am afraid!

Most of them will do it for half, if you can chuck in a residency permit (Oh, hang on, they won't need that until after the 23rd).

They need to prove that no one will take the role whether permanent or contract in the EU.

The problem they have in advertising it as permanent is some bod from Southern or Eastern Europe may take it.

At those rates, there won't be too many Albanians in the queue,,,

Not really, UK has no visa you can contract on now, end clientco could maybe get a sponsors licence and import a Bob on ICT but the agent would get nothing in that deal.

Usual scaremongering.......

I refuse to deal with any of them, one of them pinged me a contract role in London requiring Java, Scala and Groovy, rate £250 a day , of course no one will take it so they'll use that as proof to get a Visa for a Bob sorted...

Also CUK IDs if possible ...

A crowd called STAFFINGPRIME - allegedly based in the UK, but registered in India. But what makes them special?

Unsolicited email from them looking for 4 contractors. Two of the contracts are for multiple locations, such as "Lisbon, Portugal, London, United Kingdom, Lisbon, Portugal, ..." OK, so they repeat Lisbon twice, but the next location should say "Paris, France", but instead it names the client, as if they were a city in France. D’oh.
