Anyone an IT Contractor?

My DH is an IT Contractor (senior developer) and has been for ten years. For the last 7 years he has held the same contract, they just never wanted to get rid of him. The company have a new head of IT who has come in to cut costs and DH is an easy saving. So for the first time in a very long time he is starting to look for a new contract. There seems to be quite a few out there but he hasn't applied to any yet. We always knew this was a likely scenario and we have 3 months of salary should we need it as well as some small contracts but I still feel very anxious.

Are there any contractors out there who can tell me how the market looks please? It's not knowing anything that I find really hard. Employment boards seem very quiet.

TIA

I’m not an IT contractor but I am an IT manager,
I would suggest he finds some good recruitment agencies and get the CV over to them, when they have an open req they will search their own CV databases first before going out to find candidates on the open market
