They still need to find people. And they'll still get their cut for doing that.
There'll be some changes to the way they operate but it will likely be greater costs in the payroll side and reduced costs in the legal side.
And do you not think their extra costs will be factored into the new contracts being issued over the next 2 months?
It's not at all clear that clients will continue to use agents as they have in the past. Nor is it clear that agents are going to able to reinvent themselves as suppliers of temps on their own payroll. Many of them don't have the management skills or technical resources to do so. These guys are not the sharpest blade in the toaster. For a lot of them, particularly the smaller ones, it's game over.Comment

there would be ever more agents in the market, they probably just switch over to handle perm roles instead.
As for the agencies they belong to, well, smaller ones are likely going down the pan like you say hence, I see lot of them are fighting all corners to try to cling on to anything they can grab hold off.
Whilst, other agencies are becoming more creative and in seek for other possible solutions via SOW or even turning themselves into an Umbrella
The specialist contracting accountancy firms probably the biggest suffer but then again, they can become Umbrella too if they want to go down that route.Comment
