I'm a UK-based contractor (albeit mostly working with Python) and without fail I have at least 10 new recruiters add me on LinkedIn every week. What are the chances this author is in a flooded recruiter market?
Edit: The last time I sat in an office in Shoreditch there were contractors there doing frontend, project management, design and product ownership. There was a conversation one day where the eluded to 'backend contractors always being in work' and it being a bit of struggle for the others to always find work. Have the Rails devs here felt they were always in work in the past?
- JAlexoid 12y agoLinkedIn is a tool to connect to random people without a reason. I get the same thing and yet I got all of my contracts through people I know, not some random time-wasters from eSynergySolutions, PeopleSource and other crap.
- stevenwilkin 12y agoI've had the same experience with a constant stream of freshly minted recruiters want to add me on LinkedIn each and every week. I've done contract Rails dev in London for the past 2 years now, before that I had clients in the South of England, Dublin and Belfast. Apart from holidays I've not spent any considerable time out of work.
