Hi All,
This is my first post on this forum so please forgive me if it's in the wrong place!
I am currently thinking about moving jobs and would ideally like a permanent position within a design agency. However, I was recently contacted by a recruitment agency who said that I should consider going freelance instead of looking for a permanent position and that they would be able to keep me as busy as I want to be with freelance work. They also told me that I would be able to demand a higher hourly rate (between £25-£30 per hour) which would boost my salary quite considerably!
I am tempted by the whole freelance thing but think it all sounds a bit too good to be true. Has anyone else had any experience at working freelance through a recruitment agency... and if so, how does it work? Is this the best option when freelancing or should I put a it of time and effort into getting my own clients and setting up a limited company?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Dan
