Great placements for contractors - Contractor Netchannels Employee Review

Catrine the owner is a highly experienced, very respected, and extremely well-connected professional who runs a tight ship very effectively. She's a no-nonsense highly-reliable partner who gets things done and actually cares deeply about her clients (all top logos) and her staff (all top professionals - she is veeeery picky). There's a reason this shop has been around as long as it has. I've worked for a LOT of fly-by-night agencies in the past, and working with Netchannels is refreshing in the consulting business.

Haven't found any thus far.

Netchannels has broad reach into the major tech employers and can provide paths to jobs with them in difficult economic times, since many IT companies are now looking to hire outsourced workers to maintain flexibility and keep costs down. And, because you're a placed contract worker, you work just 40 hours instead of being pulled into working nights/weekends as is common if your a tech company FTE

There are no vacation or other typical IT employer benefits. Health insurance is provided (because it's mandatory for them to do so) but the big thing is going without vacation time. The compenstation is less than what you'd get being a direct hire b/c Netchannels takes a percentage of your paycheck.
