Freelance Work Frenzy
With constant talk of the impending credit crunch, employers in Nottingham are increasingly looking for freelance workers. According to leading recruitment consultancy, Hays Construction & Property, not only are there substantial benefits to the company but it can also be a good move for employees.
Hays Construction & Property is hosting an open day on 4 June to explain the benefits of working freelance and to advise about the latest opportunities. Many people are still reluctant to opt for professional freelance work because it is perceived to be a riskier option. However, skilled people are in huge demand and some projects may be long-term, lasting six months or more.
Some of the key benefits include:
- Variety of projects and freedom to choose own assignments
- High pay rates
- Opportunity to network and constantly meet new contacts
- Option to take extended periods of leave
- Chance to avoid office politics
The open day will be held in the company’s new offices on Clumber Street. Specialist recruitment consultants will be on hand to offer advice and provide information about the latest opportunities. Building surveyors, quantity surveyors, civil & structural professionals, architects and architectural technicians, housing officers and project workers are all sought after for current opportunities with some of the region’s top employers.
Jon Bancroft, Manager at Hays Construction & Property, comments: ‘’Freelance workers are in high demand in Nottingham because there is such a high level of construction activity underway. You may not have considered a freelance career before but now may be the ideal time and it can bring huge rewards – both financial and in terms of aspects such as an improved work-life balance.”
