ContractingEasy monitors employers' own job boards across the major ATS platforms — around the clock — and surfaces contract roles you can take direct with the end client. No agencies. No margin in the middle.
No CV required. No card for the trial. 3 days free, then £29.99/mo if you subscribe. Cancel any time. A legitimate, tax-deductible business expense for your limited company.
Employers' own job boards — UK enterprises, scale-ups, consultancies and public-sector bodies that hire contractors directly — plus the contract job boards.
Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters and Workable — monitored at source, where direct roles appear first.
In the database right now, rechecked every hour. Permanent roles are dropped, and job-board listings are requested from direct employers rather than recruitment agencies.
When there's no agency in the chain, everything about the engagement gets simpler — and most of it gets better for you.
Agencies commonly take 15–25% of the client's budget. Contract direct and that margin is yours to negotiate into your rate.
A direct client relationship, negotiated on your own terms, supports the working practices and contractual reality of genuine self-employment.
Remote, hybrid, part-time and fixed-price arrangements are far easier to agree client-to-contractor — agencies have little incentive to deliver them.
Every direct engagement is a relationship you own: repeat work, referrals and a portfolio of clients that de-risks your pipeline.
Finding direct roles used to mean checking hundreds of career pages by hand. ContractingEasy turns that into a five-minute morning read.
Our crawlers sweep company sites, ATS platforms and job boards throughout the day, every day.
Roles come from employers' own job boards, and where we use a job board we ask it for direct-employer postings only. Permanent roles are dropped; contract, interim and fixed-term work passes.
The newest direct roles land in your inbox each morning, matched to your skills and rate filters.
Search hundreds of live opportunities by skill, sector, rate, location and working pattern — whenever you need your next gig.
Live records, pulled straight from the database subscribers search — the rate column shows a figure only where the advert stated one.

"I always knew some companies hired contractors directly — finding them was the needle-in-a-haystack part. ContractingEasy took that whole effort away."
"Started a new outside-IR35 contract last month, found through the daily digest. The subscription paid for itself before my first invoice."
Try it free for 3 days — no card, no subscription — then decide. One direct contract at a stronger rate repays years of subscription. Cancel any time — no notice period, no questions.
Start with a 3-day free trial — full access from the moment you join. No card, no subscription and nothing to cancel: the trial simply ends, and you subscribe only if you want to carry on.
Create your account and choose "Start 3-day free trial" — you get the complete database and every filter straight away, exactly as a paying subscriber does. No card and no subscription are required, so there is nothing to cancel and you will never be charged by accident. After 3 days the trial simply ends, and you subscribe only if you want to carry on. One trial per account.
A contract advertised by the organisation you'd actually work for — on their own careers site, their ATS, or posted by them under their own name on a job board. Most listings come straight from employers' own job boards; where we use a job board we ask it for postings by direct employers rather than by recruitment agencies. Fixed-term, interim and day-rate contracts all count as direct work and are included. A day rate is shown only where the advert itself states one.
We monitor roles published through Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters and Workable — the applicant tracking systems UK employers most commonly publish contract work on.
No — IR35 status depends on working practices and contract terms, not just the absence of an agency. But a direct relationship gives you far more control over both, and many subscribers use it specifically to strengthen their outside-IR35 position. Always take your own professional advice.
No. ContractingEasy is a monitoring and intelligence service, not a recruiter. You apply to clients directly, on your own terms, with whatever materials you choose.
Yes. Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled at any point and simply run to the end of the paid period. The subscription is also a legitimate business expense for your limited company.
