IT contractors or contract-to-hire is likely dead as well. And good fucking riddance.
I contract out work from my company. You know what I don't require? Them to come and work at my office from "core hours". I don't have a dress code. I only have specs on what they're creating and the tools, which they provide.
They bill per job and do it at their leisure as well.
Just like when I built homes, my contractors provided everything they needed and I provided materials. I scheduled them but they showed up whenever it fit in their schedule based off their other contract jobs.
They're also required to carry their own GL and Worker's Comp if I hire them or go through their own LLC/Corp.
But if your expecting me to provide kit to your required spec that increases my day rate :-) though that does help with fending off the tax man.
You confusing say a brickie, sparks or a chippie who can use the same tools from job to job - with an it job where you might have to buy new software / hardware.
