How's that market?After a great start to the year, the second quarter didn't quite
match expectations. A combination of Easter holidays, more than the
usual number of bank holidays and a memorable royal wedding meant that a lot
of IT and HR managers took time off from recruiting and certain
projects went on hold.
However, the usual summer lull of the 3rd quarter has not
materialised for DGH, our clients seem to be firing on all
cylinders and recruiting with positive enthusiasm. This has had a
knock on effect for our resource team and DGH have recruited more
consultants to deal with this upturn. The demand for contractors has
increased again, leading us to believe that IT departments have been
running with a skeleton crew and that companies now need to get the
right people and skills in place to deal with extra projects that
can no longer be left on the back burner.

Important information regarding the Agency worker directiveAgency Workers Regulations (AWR)
The AWR came into force on 1 October 2011. The regulations give temporary staff an
entitlement to the same basic employment and working conditions as permanent
employees.
The new rules mean that from day one of an assignment contractors will be entitled to
use your workplace’s facilities, and get information on job vacancies.
After 12 weeks in the same job with the same hirer contractors will be entitled
to equal treatment in; pay, holidays, overtime, rest periods, working hours.
The regulations are not retrospective (back dated). Any time spent on an
assignment before 1 October 2011 will not count towards the 12 week qualifying.
