    I don't think so. When they put "Understanding of" in front of a skill, it's spec-ese for "You won't actually be doing any, but you'll be sitting next to somebody who does, and you might have to talk to them occasionally"

    Diplomatically do the near-impossible task of putting Square Peg into Round Hole without complaining that you are getting 1/4 the money of A and B despite doing all their work for them.

    As one of the requirements is "understanding of Peoplesoft and SAP HR" I wonder if the rate is £3300/day ?
