    Roles with rates like this I have seen filled with people from the new EU countries who had no experience working in the UK and needed some "history" in their CVs. After a year or two they would have moved on to something better paid.

      £39k was a lot more than I was getting in my little wind down to retirement job baffling the hoi polloi with electronics.

      It's Swansea, boyo, there's tidy then, what did you expect?

        I do often wonder what sort of candidates they get for these sort of roles?
        Well he's contacting you isn't he.

        Maybe he's looking for some idiot that posts everything in professional forums only to have them constantly moved to general as they don't have the common sense to work out where it should go.

            Harsh, but fair observation.

                    Usually they run the model of:
                    - 1/3 bod salary,
                    - 1/3 back-office headcount, assets depreciation, equipment, rent, employee finding fee etc
                    - 1/3 profit.
                    *there might be some leeway but limited by bod downtime, relocation costs, visa costs etc.

                    So minimum a consultancy would go for is at least 3x min salary a bod would take.
                    40k x 3 = 120k / 228 = £526pd

                    Or at least that is what I've heard.

                      Ahh an FTC, a permi but with a fixed end date. Surprisingly not an oxymoron.
