Hi All,
Interested to hear how you respond to the following question 'What day rate are you looking for?' frequently posed by recruiters.
It seems that if you quote your day rate as £1300 - £1500 (wouldn't that be nice!) then the roles they call you about all seem to be at the (surprise surprise) £1300 mark. And you've already told them that you would be willing to work for £1300. Anticipating this and quoting a higher rate to start off may mean that you don't hear about roles which are genuinely £1300 per day.
How best to combat this?
Thanks,
