2020 was a year like no other and so much has changed. Think back to before the pandemic and most of us have some sort of fuzzy memory of life before everything got turned upside down. Travel mugs, lunchboxes, change for the machine have all been temporarily shelved. The daily commute, the faint chatter of
Since itContracting was established in 2010, we have created prosperity across the technology sector, positioning the best temporary, contract and permanent candidates within the brightest companies.

And even though there are so many benefits to taking a more flexible approach to working life, more and more are feeling overwhelmed by the
The balance of contracting versus permanent roles has traditionally fallen in line with the economy. When the economy was doing well, the number of permanent roles increased. And when the economy started to sink again, the number of contracting roles starting to rise. Up until the pandemic, however, the number of contracting roles was continuing
2020 has been a challenging year.
