How do you deal with client fee breakdowns in temping?

How do you handle client fee breakdown requests in the temping sector?

My agency has had a temp contract for five years, and we’ve been stuck with a very low rate since a past client received a detailed breakdown of our fee calculation. As a result, they know our costs and have leveraged that information against us.

With upcoming changes in tax rates, new levies, and wage increases, we decided to adjust our overall charge rate slightly—around a 0.1% increase. However, the client has now requested a detailed breakdown justifying this change.

I’m looking for suggestions on how to respond. The existing charge rate is not viable long-term, but we can’t afford to lose this contract. We typically don’t provide cost breakdowns to clients for this very reason.

Advices please

Seeking Advice

Hey everyone, I’m facing a dilemma and would love your input. Right now, I’m working at a job with a salary that’s not quite enough. I had an interview today with another company that offers a significantly better salary, but the work hours are longer. My current job is from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., while the new position would be from 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Additionally, the new job is farther from my home.

I also want to return to practicing Karate, but I fear that the new job’s schedule will prevent me from attending classes. I’m struggling to decide whether I should make the switch to the new company. Any thoughts or advice?

My Salary Increase but now company has increased my Threshold – please give opinion/advice

Subject: Salary Increase Concerns: Need Your Advice

I recently received a salary increase from £28k to £30k, with the potential to reach £32k after billing an additional £50k. While I’m thrilled about this raise, there’s a catch: my company is increasing my commission threshold from £4k to £5k, while maintaining a 30% rate on earnings beyond that threshold.

With my new responsibilities of training two junior associates, this change concerns me. Instead of feeling more motivated, I feel like I’m losing out financially. The new threshold means that I’ll actually earn £300 less in the long run, based on the new structure.

I’m considering approaching my manager to discuss keeping my original commission structure, as it feels more rewarding given my current workload. I would appreciate any thoughts or advice on how to handle this situation. What do you think?

I created an AI Tool that can bulk process 1,000s of CVs and conduct pre-screening interviews

Introducing my newly developed AI tool that can efficiently process thousands of CVs and conduct pre-screening interviews!

Many of my LinkedIn connections express a desire for feedback on every job application, while recruiters often find this unfeasible due to the sheer volume of CVs they handle for each position.

Imagine a customizable AI solution that can:
– Conduct high-level pre-screening interviews before an application is submitted, filtering candidates based on essential criteria.
– Process hundreds of CVs by aligning them with detailed job descriptions and comprehensive requirements.
– Offer customization options for the filtering process, including factors such as location, job type, skills, experience, and more.

I’ve created a proof of concept that I believe performs exceptionally well!

Meeting with a recruiter – tips?

Meeting with a recruiter – any advice?

I’m aiming for a minimum salary of £35,000 in my next role.

During our recent phone conversation, the recruiter mentioned that I should consider a salary range of £28,000 to £29,000 if the company offers training.

I want to clearly communicate that my minimum expectation is £35,000, though I could be flexible to around £32,000 to £34,000 for positions with strong training programs.

How can I ensure that our in-person meeting is effective and doesn’t lead to a low-balling situation?
