To say it’s been a crazy start to the year is the
understatement of the century. (Where do I start?)…………….. Let’s kick off with
the……..<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>The Contract Market</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my opinion, the contract market in London isn’t as
buoyant as it was this time last year…. How can I back up that statement? I
have more contractors calling me for work, than I have employers asking me for contractors….
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s not to say there isn’t contract work available, there
is…. However with the increase in the number of contractors available, compared
to the employers needing short term resource for project work, the average daily
rates have dropped slightly from c£450 per day to £350-£400 day depending on
you experience, the client, the contract length and flexibility of remote
working.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t panic though – with the new tax year underway, new
budgets amongst our partners being released over the coming weeks and the
shortage of permanently employed Rubyists looking for work in London – they’ll
be a steady increase in demand over the coming months.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><u>The Permanent Market</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The job market is crazy….. I’ve never seen such a huge gap
between the demand for Rubyists to join employers on a permanent basis and the
lack of people looking for a new gig. The companies who ARE successfully hiring
experienced Rubyists on a permanent basis seem to have a few things in common. In
addition to salary, they offer:<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
So if you’re a company hiring, take note of the above – or
you’ll continue to struggle to attract top talent ;)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Permanent salaries are rising, the average salary Rubyists
obtain via us is c£58,000 – up 25% based on the same time last year but in my
opinion, this still is low considering the demand for talent is at an all-time
high. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why have salaries jumped up 25% on last year? It’s certainly
is due to the sharp increase in demand for talent, but also the fact companies
are more likely to be hiring at a senior level, as opposed to training up
junior developers at the moment. <o:p></o:p></div>

It’s good to see the salaries finally
rising in London; however we’re still way off the salary ranges which are
available in the likes of Barcelona, Hamburg & Berlin. This makes it
difficult for London based companies to attract/compete to hire Rubyists from
other Ruby hubs in Europe. <o:p></o:p></div>

above, please do – I don’t bite and would appreciate the feedback…… Of course if
you’re actively looking for a new gig…… I’m 99.9% sure I can help put you in

<div class="MsoNormal">
As I’m sure you’re aware, the job market for Rubyists in
London are as buoyant as ever. Being the 1<sup>st</sup> recruiter in the UK to
commit 100% of my time in helping employer connect with Rubyists, I’ve always
been busy. However with the huge rise in popularity of Ruby/Rails as primary
language/framework amongst start-ups, SME’s and now global dotcoms - the demand
for talent amongst our existing and new partners has jumped almost 40% compared
to March 2012, with 85% of our openings now paying £55,000+.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With this in mind, I’m looking to touch base with existing
contacts and expand my existing network to speak with people about some of the
projects our partners are working on. <o:p></o:p></div>

please feel free to get in touch – if you’re perfectly happy, but know someone
