The recruiter reached out to me. The overall process was good; however, it could use some improvement.
The recruiter didn't know a lot of details about the project. It would be helpful to know the ends and outs of the project and work details instead of just saying, "this is a new project and company, and we don't know a lot yet."
This role seemed to be an entry-level role with lower pay as an independent contractor, although they required experience. I would advise people to negotiate because this is a 1099 contractor position w/o benefits, and you have to use your phone, computer, etc., for work.
I declined to move forward because a critical piece is missing in their contract agreement - a termination clause. I've been doing consulting and contract work for years, and this is a deal-breaker.
As a consultant/contractor, things might not always work out, breaches in terms can happen and you may want to leave a project early and you want to be able to do so legally without penalty or cause. Plus, things could change on the client-side as well.
I found out after asking, Ewings can end your contract assignment based on performance (generic and nothing specific as to their standards) and their client can terminate the agreement early. I also read a review online where Ewings didn't pay their contractors on time. The contract is very generic and nothing specific as to the project scope and details.
I'm unsure why Ewings doesn't include termination provisions in their contract agreements. They must be used to dealing with contractors who are inexperienced.
