If a contractor seeks a rate increase when a contract is extended, the client is actually suffering the consequence of a problem they have created.

All too often a client wants to take on a contractor for 6 months or a year, but will only offer the contractor 3 months at a time. Therefore, during the year the contractor has to renew 3 times. If the client wants the contractor to work for a year at a fixed rate, then they should offer the contractor a 12 month contract, not a 3 month contract. As Bob Sherunkel commented, market rates fluctuate, so each contract should be based on the market rates available at the time the contract is agreed. If the client offers four 3 month contracts during the course of a year, then the market rate for each contract may well vary. So does the price of other goods and services. Just because the last time I filled up with petrol it was 127.9 a litre, doesn't mean I should expect to pay 127.9 next time I fill up. Petrol prices fluctuate and so do market rates for contractors. Perhaps you should explain that to your clients.

Mr Cooper, a lot of contracts are advertised as paying 'Market Rate'. Over the course of a year the market rate for a particular skill may vary considerably, both up and down.

A contractor is well within his/her rights to ask for a rate increase during an upswing, in the same way that a client may offer an extension at a lower rate during a down swing. It's called market forces. Have you ever had to go back to a contractor and tell him/her that the client is offering an extension at a lower rate? If so, did you attempt to dissuade the client from reducing the rate?

One thing you have failed to mention is that when market rates rise, a client may be prepared to pay a higher rate to retain the services of a contractor who has proved that he/she can deliver, rather than take the risk of paying the higher rate that the market demands for somebody unknown.

It sounds like you are trying to persuade contractors to forego rate increases, so you can avoid an 'awkward' conversation with the client. The agency take their commission, which may be up to 20% of the contractor rate. You get that commission for actively managing the contract, which includes looking after the best interests of the contractor, as well as those of the client. Earn your commission!

So I'm working on a contract and I find out that my peer group are all getting paid 10 - 20% more than I am. Even those peers who aren't working very effectively.

It comes to renewal time and I'm meant to sit back, shrug my shoulders and stick with my low rate?

Are you serious?

2011-02-03T14:01:23.409Z

I have worked as a contractor for many years and don't often ask for a rate increase when my contract is renewed.

However, I found out that one agency I worked through got a rate increase (for the agency) every time I was renewed, even though I had not changed my rate.

Now tell me that Sandersons don't do this kind of thing.

Done't work for Sanderson PLC if A) You like waiting 5 weeks to be paid for a 4 week period, have no communication from Finance oir agent regarding amendment to invoice (I.e you get paid less because you're over a billing period).

Get silly replies from Agents when they are earning £5-10 an hour from you for sitting on there areses, when it comes doing anything that involves work they are not to be found.

Here's just a few words, I think Randstad technologies would be the way forward.

Thanks.

Thanks for your eagle-eyed spelling spot anonymous. You will be glad to hear that our proofreader has since been banished to the broom cupboard for the rest of the day with only a dictionary for company!

Danny, I completely agree (with your second point!) - 2010 will be a pivotal year in terms of influencing the political debate and preparing for new regulations on the industry. The more recruiters that make their voice heard and start to get involved in making improvements within our sector, the better.

2010-04-09T10:38:32.328+01:00

Well I think that a hung parliament is a good idea. I would gladly pay good money to see them all hung!

Seriously though, I am in full support of REC's manifesto. It does not matter which party gets in, all the parties make big promises before the elections which are then 'modified' if elected. What does matter is that we have someone to speak up for recruiters and point out what needs to be done and the changes that need to be made, maybe this would also help to give us a better image?

I don't think the agency model will disappear, I know there are some organisations that have taken good recruiters in-house, but the big companies need people to do that sifting. There are some good agencies out there, that hunt around and actively look for the right people. What this highlights, however, is the need for us candidates to actually build relationships with the good agencies. I know its against some peoples natures to network, especially with some of the cowboy agents out there, but its something we must do to get that next role.

Excellent article! Captures the very essence of what is going on in the recruitment market place. The recession has certainly focused the mind and forced recruitment businesses to adapt and embrace new ideas. Those businesses that remain complacent or fail to adapt sufficiently to match new market requirements are going to find it increasingly difficult to compete. There will be a shake-out in the market place for sure. Best wishes for 2010.

2009-11-17T16:09:26.896Z

I have been using video in the recruitment process for around 18 months with a large degree of success, particularly when placing candidates remotely.

One thing which should be clear for everyone though is that the video interview is really only useful when viewed alongside a traditional CV.

The video simply takes away the first impression.

How often do you interview someone who simply doesn't match up to their CV? Leaving you frustrated at having dedicated 40 minutes of your time, only to have your mind made up within the first 2 minutes?

This is where I find video interviews or video CVs work. (Clients who utilise my video interview facility typically hire 68% of people who they interview face to face on the back of the video CV.

Efficient for everyone. (At least I think so!)

Another strategy is to be the best friend of a recruitment partner. Even if you found the job already you should share your blessings with the recruitment partner to establish a long-term partnership.

Nick,

A lesson from the early days of Lean in physical supply chains:

When Western companies started trying to copy Japanese firms in terms of lean supply chains they ran into big problems. They copied the physical attributes - like reducing duplicated inventory - but they didn't replicate the deep, trust-based relationships with suppliers. They kept the existing contractually driven "we're going to screw every penny out of you" ones.

As a result, when the inevitable early hiccups happened (such as running out of materials and needing suppliers to push through a rush order for them) their arms length suppliers didn't want to know and their processes ground to a halt.

Lean's not possible without strong relationships and the willingness to work for each other.

This echoes the world of consulting services where top tier companies have been under-delivering for a long time. Better use of independent expertise re-vitalises customer focus.
