Temp work availability

Temporary work refers to employment lasting for a limited period of time. In this situation, the duration of the working arrangement is determined by the needs of the recruiter.

If and when you tell us you are available for temporary work, we’ll feature your profile as available and make your CV searchable to recruiters over the next seven days. If recruiters are seeking candidates with your skills and experience, they will be able to get in touch with you directly.

• On your signed in homepage you may be presented with a temporary work prompt at the top of the page:
  
  Select the Yes button and you will be directed to a page where you can provide more details about your availability. Once you have provided all the necessary details, click on the Save settings button and we will let recruiters know that you are available over the next seven days.
• Alternatively, if you are on a desktop or tablet device, you will find the Temp work section on the right hand side of the homepage:
  
  Clicking on the edit availability link will take you to the temp work availability settings page which you can update. On a mobile device, this will be found at the top of the signed in homepage

By keeping your information up-to-date, recruiters know you’re available for temporary work right now.

We need to ensure that recruiters have the most up-to-date information on your availability. We’ll send you a reminder email once a week to update your availability.

That’s fine. All you need to do is ensure that you have set your temporary work availability status to unavailable and recruiters will not contact you for temporary work. Note: this does not mean that you cannot apply for a temporary job if you choose to.

Ensure that you have selected the permanent job type option within the Looking for section on your profile page:

Also, you need to have given us permission to let recruiters view your cv and profile. Your profile visibility can be managed via ‘Contact preferences’ within your account setting

By uploading your CV, recruiters can quickly, and easily assess if you have the skills and experience for the job, ensuring only the most suitable roles are brought to your attention.

This is because at some point, you have indicated that you do not want recruiters to view your CV or profile. We need your permission before we give them access to get in touch with you directly.

The first step towards getting temporary work is being contacted by a recruiter - but this is determined by your skills and experience matching the recruiter’s requirements. Remember to ensure that you have uploaded your most up-to-date CV which highlights your skills and experience.
