If you’ve ended up reading this article, you're either intrigued by the idea of a counter offer, or have been at the sharp end of it. Perhaps for whatever reason you weren’t happy in your role, and you made the decision to start looking for a new opportunity. Following a period of intense job searching, you were asked to interview for a promising new opportunity. After a series of meetings with the hiring manager, much to your delight, you were offered the job. Then, after all of that, your current employer threw you a curve ball and made you a counter offer (shock), one which you found hard to turn down. Whilst you were feeling flattered at the time, all the buzz quickly wore off, only to be replaced with a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, the feeling you have made a huge mistake. 

Home, Hybrid, Office We all recall how the world of work was turned on it’s head in 2020 when Covid hit us. For those not furloughed, most ended up working from, or trying to work from, home. We all soon learned to use Zoom and Teams, and these became as normal as using the phone. As things started to move back to normal, companies, and employees, had to make the choice of sticking with the full time working from home model, bringing everyone back into the office, or a hybrid mixture of the two.

​GSA Techsource are pleased to announce we have successfully completed our Cyber Essentials certification for another year. The requirements continue to focus businesses on ensuring IT systems are robust, safe and secure, and are rightfully more challenging each year. The certification is essential for our Government framework agreements, but is also a great tool to help us ensure we are focused on all the areas that help us to be a cyber aware business.

GSA Techsource is pleased to announce our successful bid to be part of the new Non-Clinical Staffing Framework 2, known as RM6277. This allows us to continue delivering contractors into the NHS and public sector, for both Lot 3 – IT Professionals, and Lot 5 - Scientific, Technical & Clinical Coding. This replaces the current framework, RM6160, through which we have been delivering successfully for several years. Our particular expertise in Clinical Coding stretches back over 12 years and we look forward to continuing to support our many NHS Trust clients through this new framework.

HMRC is taking it’s policing of IR35 very seriously, with many end clients and contractor’s PSCs receiving letters pre-empting further investigation by HMRC into the status of contract – are they genuinely outside IR35?
