Google now to decimate the recruitment industry (1 Viewer)

As mentioned in an earlier post, many contractors do well in the contract market and it is still attractive to many who want the flexible lifestyle.

However, leaping back to the topic of Google - most contractors would agree and welcome the likely shake up of the industry that Google may or may not bring .

Yeah but are you happy with a inferior equipment.
You need to embrace change, not fight it

I'm in a bit of a dilemma at the moment SF with the new Samsung Note 9 due to launch on August 8th. Do I go for this or wait for the S10 due next year. I think Apple will have another attempt to make up some lost ground with a larger version of their over rated X phone later this year but I shouldn't hold your breath......

Plus, agencies and IR35 is another kettle of fish

I did say you was right. Still I now know all about points and safe motors.

Google are great employers themselves so perhaps they will bring some of this to the table. The new London HQ certainly looks the part.

One of the downsides of being a contractor is that at anytime you can get tapped on the shoulder and led to the door.

Some chaps don't like that risk, hence, they go back to 'permie' jobs with all the comforts (e.g. sick pay, holidays, work place pension, etc.)...

My contracts were water tight

You are quite right of course

However the word "contractor" whilst absolutely accurate can be slightly misleading.

I used to employ quite a few contractors before I retired but they were engineers - electronic, software, installation engineers and they demanded and were paid decent money!

In a labourers case he is not really a "contractor" as such - normally just someone desperate for work who will take on zero hours contracts to pay his rent & food!

One hundred percent Teuchter….zero hours contracts are not contractors.
