2010 Annual Fee Rate Survey
Skillfair’s 5th Annual Fee rate Survey comes at a time when many independent consultants and freelancers are feeling under pressure from all sides. Clients are under pressure to reduce costs and retain permanent staff – plus to read the press it would seem there are thousands of newly redundant 40 and 50 something’s looking to set up as self-employed. In this difficult market it really pays to know what your peers are actually charging and how you compare – otherwise it can be very hard to resist requests from clients that devalue your services.

Our annual fee rate survey closed last week and after analysing the responses - which came from well over 1500 consultants across all specialisms and all areas of the UK- there's good news for clients. Rates on average were 8% down during 2009 compared to 2008, although some specialisms such as Change Management and Coaching held up much better than others.
