				When i say contractor i refer to those where the employer does not have  a pension option and where one pays a 3.3% tax.
 
 
I am doing the job search with a recruiter and just wondering if going through a recruiter increases the chances of contract jobs?
 
 
When seeing a pension-less, 3.3% income tax rate job, should i just move onto the next one? |

It is a typical scam by a large number of hagwans to (illegally) get out of their legal obligations to employees. They are confident that the employees either:
 
a) won't know the difference or
 
b) won't be able to stick around to fight it out 
 
 
I wouldn't take one but I am not struggling to find work either.

				New standard = No,
 
Old scam = Yes. |

				| OP, any recruiter who pushes a job on you that involves no pension or health insurance is a bad recruiter. Move on and find a better one. |
