Average advertised pay rates are up!
This would suggest the low end of the market is being hit harder than the high end.

Jobserve has become more of a fishing ground than a job board, for the mainstream contracts at least. I think the agency model is changing, and for the most part the Hollywood principle is in play ("don't call us, we'll call you"). In other words the dip in JobStats points to less fishing, not less adverts.
No way of telling for sure but I expect that the percentage of ads we sample that are for fictitious jobs is pretty constant and slightly higher during downturns.

One of my favourite agents told me last week she's had a massive increase in inquiries from permy redundees.

I have permission from Contractor UK to post here. They have been very interested in the figures during this slump. If you don't care what the market is doing around you then fair play, and I wish you good luck in securing your next contract.

Try the link. Handy if you are a developer. I am sure project managers could introduce a level of refuctoring to their projects too.

Jobstats february figures - does not look good out there
Never have we dipped below the Christmas low for the previous year so quickly. Even in the dot-com but the job levels did not dip below the low-point of the Xmas before for the next twelve months. See the graph on the bottom of the home page:
Job Stats
That is for permanent staff though!
Contractor Rates are still showing the dip but not below the festive slump yet.
Really not looking good out there people, if you have a contract do what you can to keep it going, refuctoring is good and you know it.
If you haven't got a contract at the minute then I really do believe that a spell in permanent work or accepting lower rates could be sensible for the next 6-12 months while we see how this pans out.Tags: None
