Hi guys,

I found this website yesterday and thought it was worth posting for people with particular skills and experience. They have over 4000 employers who post jobs daily and you bid on the work. It was recently on the BBC as a way out of recession ahem I don't think so yet!

    thanks - I'm on it, but am not sure how much I'll get out of it to be honest. It seems to be very IT/computer programmer based.
  • Thank you. I'm also having a mooch on it!

    Unfortunately it's much used as a way for US and UK companies to source cheap indian and far eastern IT people and pay them the indian going rates......

    I've registered and bid on a couple of jobs but not holding my breath.

    Would nice to be earn a bit of extra cash to pay towadrs debts though :o
  • I am on it too, just started bidding for jobs on there. To be honest I thought the same about the cheap bids from abroad but then I saw a link on their site to pph economy and it looks like 80% of the jobs are won by UK freelancers so I registered. Will let you know if/when I get a job! :)
  • Looks good - would be nice to have a few extra quid come in

  • I registered on this website and received an email offering me work from two employers via the website. That was almost a month ago and I am still waiting to hear further details from the company about when the work is due to start. A few other peaple that won work via PPH are waiting to hear from the same company also.
