    Can anyone who works there or has worked there confirm if this is the case or not??

    Thanks for your help
    Tell them to feck off. Next.

    I have done several gigs for DB, you can definately work through LTD,
    make sure your contract is outside IR35 though.

    # Private edjucated (sic) ................................. not typically
    # Promoted above ability ................................ definitely
    # Flirty with the boss to protect position ......... not usually
    # Lots of noise but little substance ................ absolutely




    Buffoon,

    The quotes are from memory , nor are they intended to be perfect, they are used to illustrate the "anti" contractor mentality of this particular not so bright HR spark.

    In my experience, this is the case. Many IB seem to be very wary of employing temp contractors through there own LTD's.

    I had an interview with BC who were basically saying that the temp position they had for 6 months at £300 p/day was a junior position that they wanted to fill permanetly. When i informed them that i was working through my own LTD, and would see the position as a contract assignment, they basically said they were not interested.

    Can someone explain this one? I'm not having a go at barely_pointless, I'm confused about what HR expect to happen?
