Is this the going rate these days?

What has our industry become

[BrilloPad]

They can earn as much as £17/hour in Wales?

That must be why there called MAX20

[Monster Munch]

Its pathetic. They are asking for skilled people. You would never see an accountant or solicitor working for such low rates.
i think I've been in the game too long and my heads a bit dizzy...let me sit down...I'll be ok in a moment.

That one turned up in my RSS feed. I'm thing £17 an hour for someone with at leasst five year's senior process design expereince and an ITIL Manager's certificate that costs around £3500 to get... Yeah, right.

Two options. A numpty that is simply dividing a clerical officer's annual salary to get an hourly rate. Or a numpty that's looking to onshore the role becuase there's no locally available candidates.

And, of course, an agency that has no idea at all of the business they're in.

Agreed but the agency have a pretty good handle on how much the NHS will pay.

I just had to get to the bottom of this. The reason the rate is so poor is that it is directly assimilated to the permy salary.

Nah, they are using the extra 30 quid an hour they should be paying you towards their Christmas Party.
