ContractingEasy monitors 2,000+ company career sites, the major ATS platforms and 70+ job boards — around the clock — and surfaces only genuine day-rate contract roles you can win direct with the end client. No agencies. No margin in the middle.
No CV required. Cancel any time. A legitimate, tax-deductible business expense for your limited company.
We crawl the careers pages of UK enterprises, scale-ups, consultancies and public-sector bodies that hire contractors directly.
Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, SmartRecruiters, Workable and more — monitored at source, where direct roles appear first.
Filtered relentlessly: agency postings and fixed-term employment are stripped out, leaving only direct day-rate contracts.
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.
Every posting is classified. Agency ads and fixed-term employment are excluded — only genuine direct day-rate contracts pass.
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.
Illustrative roles in the style you'll find inside — every one posted by the end client, never an agency.

"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."
One direct contract at a stronger rate repays years of subscription. Cancel any time — no notice period, no questions.
Access to the database and the daily digest begins the same business day you subscribe.
A day-rate contract advertised by the organisation you'd actually work for — on their own careers site, their ATS, or posted by them on a job board. Agency listings and fixed-term (payrolled) employment are excluded by our filters.
We monitor roles published through the major applicant tracking systems used by UK employers — including Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, SmartRecruiters and Workable — as well as career pages that don't use an ATS at all.
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.
