Usually they run the model of:Originally posted by malvolio View PostFor a finance house, not DVLA...
- 1/3 bod salary,
- 1/3 back-office headcount, assets depreciation, equipment, rent, employee finding fee etc
- 1/3 profit.
*there might be some leeway but limited by bod downtime, relocation costs, visa costs etc.
So minimum a consultancy would go for is at least 3x min salary a bod would take.
40k x 3 = 120k / 228 = £526pd
Or at least that is what I've heard.

Roles with rates like this I have seen filled with people from the new EU countries who had no experience working in the UK and needed some "history" in their CVs. After a year or two they would have moved on to something better paid.

It's in Swansea.
Neah, the gov won't let that happen. Think people have started to wise up and they'll start going after the establishment.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostAnd in the teeth of a massive unemployment shock. 39k p.a. is about 75th centile.
They'll throw bulltulip jobs at them, COVID tracers at 27£/h, brexit paper pushers looking after imports etc...
Otherwise you'll get plenty of these erected:

This is an advert for Infosys/wipro to provide cheap resources. Who knows they will engage in a bidding war and bring the costs down.
