PILLAR 1 | CANDIDATES
Here at Change-IT Consulting, we understand the importance of listening to your requirements, understanding your motives and matching you to the perfect position
Searching for a new job can be a very stressful time
Here at Change-IT Consulting, we understand the importance of listening to your requirements, understanding your motives and matching you to the perfect position. There is no shoehorning into a “close fit” here. We want you to secure your perfect role whether that be Interim or Permanent.
Our extensive portfolio of clients built up over decades of hard work and successful campaigns ensure we have access to the very best positions in the marketplace and you can therefore be confident that we have access to your “dream position”.
Engage with us here at Change-IT Consulting and you engage with an agent that truly wants the best for you, whilst maintaining professional courtesy at all times.
What you Get
The biggest frustration we hear from our candidates is agencies miss-matching, the infamous “news black hole pre / post interview”, and the “Lord Lucan post placement”.
When dealing with our professional consultants at Change-IT, you enter into a partnership. Our commitment, which only works if you yourself are committed, ensures that you are fully briefed on the role at hand, the company, the manager's likes and dislikes, interview preparation, post interview feedback and decision outcome.
Positive and negative news is shared in equal measure and, if successful, the communication continues once your placement starts which is why a significant number of our candidates become our clients.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Whilst we cover both Permanent and Fixed Term assignments within our principal specialty areas, Interim and Contract assignments also form a significant part of our expertise.
In the ever-changing Contract landscape and with the onset of more stringent Compliance legislations – AWR, IR35 etc, first time contractors, as well as more seasoned individuals lean on us more and more for guidance and assistance. Rightly so, it can be a veritable minefield.
Since our over-arching remit is to ensure you as a contractor remain in work, dealing through us for your entire career where possible, naturally we want to invest heavily in you and offer first class “Contractor Care”. This can take the simple form of guidance on Timesheet submissions, Ltd v Umbrella assistance, regulatory and contractual audits and SOW / CEST help. All this is a free service to ensure your career as a contractor remains as simple and pain free as possible.
IR35 Compliance
With IR35 being enforced this year in the UK see how we can help you maximise your income.
What is IR35?
IR35 is the legislation that HM Revenue & Customs developed in 2000 to make sure contractors and businesses were paying the right amount of tax and national insurance.
It refers to what is called the “anti-avoidance” tax legislation designed to tax 'disguised' employment at a rate similar to those who are directly PAYE employed. In this context, "disguised employees" means workers who receive payments from a client via an intermediary, for example, their own limited company, and whose relationship with their client is one of a clear employer / employee defined as if they been paid directly they would be employees of the client.
How can I be sure of IR35 status as a Client?
HMRC has created a tool to help employers understand whether someone working for them falls inside IR35 or not. The Check Employment Status for Tax (CEST) tool was introduced alongside the 2017 reforms and became the go to tool for IR35 determination.
Private Sector:
In the private sector, it’s down to the contractor to show that there is no employment relationship. If they fall inside IR35, then the contractor needs to pay the tax and National Insurance Contributions that are due.
Public Sector:
In the public sector, it’s up to the employer to prove that a contractor falls Inside IR35. If they fall inside, the employer, agency or third party that pays the contractor will need to deduct the tax and National Insurance Contributions and report them to HMRC. Inside IR35 Contractors tend to use Umbrella Companies or composites to ensure tax compliance.
Outside of IR35?
When working out whether a contractor falls Outside of IR35, there Many factors that are used in the determination such as
What equipment is being used? If a contractor is using their own equipment you may expect them to fall Outside of IR35.
Risk. Has the contractor used their own money to provide something that’s needed for the job? If they are paying for and taking on the costs for equipment and materials purchased as well as the upkeep, it weighs heavily in favour of self-employment. Because of this, contractors outside of IR35 are often required to have professional indemnity insurance.
Exclusivity. Typically, self-employed individuals can work for multiple clients at once.
Outcome Based Deliverables: It is commonplace for Outside IR35 workers to be paid one-off sums for the service they provide – not standard timesheet driven payment.
Service Definition: Similar to outcome-based deliverables, the Outside IR35 arrangement means that the company is providing a particular service to the Client and is responsible to ensure timescales and delivery of that service match the defined project roadmap.
