With the top global Technology, IT Services and Software companies located here, there is undoubtedly an abundance of opportunity for high-quality technical talent. It is no surprise that many of these highly skilled individuals choose to operate as Professional Contractors, capitalising on the financial benefits and independence Contracting has to offer.
Many ICT Contractors possess a niche set of skills, which makes them experts in specific areas. Being highly qualified in a niche area, especially when the skill set is in high demand can be a huge advantage if you want to explore opportunities to become a Professional Contractor. The average daily rate for ICT Contractors is €529, so Contracting can put you in a very strong financial position.
