Anyone looking at JOBSERVE should also remember that the UK market is very much smaller than the US market. So whilst 7-10 contract vacancies posted in a single day may not appear many, in relation to the size of the market here, it is ! Also, there has been a terrific slow down in ALL markets due to Y2K. To my knowledge, all large UK companies have a change freeze on some of which will last through until March 2000 (i.e. after Feb 29 2000) !
