You dont have to, you can just use jointing plaster to fill the
joints, do it yourself.

And make sure the plasterboard doesn't have the tapered edges.

Doesn't? Surely to avoid skimming you would use tapered edge boards then
tape and fill the joints ready for basecoat. (Said with a hallway full of
t/e boards)

If you're going to tape and fill joints, then you're half way to skimming
the whole lot. With straight edge boards, all you need is a squirt of
decorators caulk down the seams to finish them off.
