People must be taking them. Got one this morning asking for an "experienced" SQL Server Developer with Datawarehousing experience £26K a year!!
Not convinced about that - as a recent agent call testifies -
Pimp - "we've been brought in by client to fill a role their current PSL can't fill - looking for PM with years of experience, blah, PRINCE2, blah, can hit ground running, blah, tough project, blah - could pay up to £40K fixed term" The job has been on jobswerve for weeks.
Can't get an experienced person for a carp rate? - no tulip sherlock. I had to bite my tongue...
Only the desperate would take this role and I bet they would jump ship as soon as something better came along.
Even if they forgot about the fixed term bit and just offered a low rate - most Ltd Co contractors would prefer that as they could at least claim expenses, profit from the FRS and save on PAYE and NI through dividends. A fixed term contract is the worst possible option.
