State of the Market

[CheeseSlice]

Now the election is out of the way, the clarity on Brexit that was so badly needed is now here. Businesses can finally invest in those projects that were on hold for so much of this year.

Sure we still have 2020 Off-Payroll / IR35 implementation in the Private sector going on, but aside from that hopefully better times are ahead for contractors!

I talked to an agent with a role for the first time in days this morning. I, for one, welcome our new Tory overlords.

Indeed, just got a call from an agent to say the role I interviewed for last week in London has been moved to Amsterdam due to election result

Winner winner chicken dinner

No its not - we've still no idea on the kind of Brexit we're going to get. Nothing has really changed, other than its now confirmed that Corbyn has effectively killed the Labour Party.

Despite what the Tories have been selling you (and I'm no Corbynite), there will not be clarity on Brexit until a trade deal with the EU is signed - and that's years away.
We are still at the foothill of the mountain, as a lot of people are about to find out.

I hear you there, but we couldn't even see which way the compass was pointing until now.
The detail definitely needs to be sorted out, but the direction has now been set. The main blocks are already known and will be put in place, and then the rest will follow as slow and as painfully as that may be. The markets and the pound have reacted well to the result anyway. Boards and CFOs will hopefully share the same optimism.

It's remarkable how few companies understand that today's employee / vendor / customer is tomorrow's vendor / customer / employee and how you treat them in one way impacts how they treat you in the future.

So true.

I've had some pretty useless recent experiences with three well known big recruiting firms when I asked for a bit of help with some introductions to suitable people to discuss potential interim or perm roles for myself. I've had significant dealings with these firms for hiring staff so they have made a lot of money through my custom.

I won't be rushing to look at them again next time I have a hiring campaign.

No, it isn't years away. It has been made very clear what's going to happen, and with the high majority that the Tories have, it will be a certainty that things will get done.

We leave on January 31st with a withdrawal deal, that was always going to be the case. Whether Boris or others amend this to be more of a Canada syle deal or not, we know it's either going to that or his original deal.

The deadline has been set to negotiate the trade deal with the EU, if nothing is agreed by the end of 2020, then it's no-deal.

There is no gloom and doom or complete uncercainty, it could not be any clearer and that's why the financial markets like it.
