Reed seeks project engineer at £2k per hour

Only for a month, sadly

Ensure Ease of Recovery with Asigra’s Agentless Software

Reed offers project engineer post at £2,000 - £2,500 per hour

Comrades, this is no accident !

I see this all the time. Recruitment 'consultants' seem incapable of a)distinguishing between contract and perm posts, and b) filling in the details boxes on their automated submission forms properly.
