Everything you need to know about us and our platform.

To maximise your chance of seeing appropriate roles:

Ensure your preferences are up to date - you can edit these in your candidate dashboard

Turn on your job alerts to be notified of new opportunities that fit your preferences as soon as they go live, directly in your inbox. For freelance/interim opportunities in particular, applying within 48 hours of an opportunity going live will significantly improve your chances of landing an interview.

Keep an eye out for our weekly newsletter which gives a summary of roles that are currently actively recruiting and outlines the newest roles on site

Upload the newest version of your CV - this allows us access to review your most recent experience to determine a more accurate fit for the roles we have on hand, and will allow for you to apply to opportunities more quickly

To maximise your chances of landing an interview when you apply:

Use the screening questions carefully to signpost your most relevant experience to the role, and make sure there is reference to this experience in your CV. Keep your answers as succinct as possible - ideally no more than 2-3 short bullet points per question. Your answers here are your elevator pitch to the hiring manager, but very long and detailed answers will both undermine your communication skills and risk the most salient points being missed.

Keep your CV up to date, and no more than 1-2 pages (with size 11-12 font and plenty of white space; it should be more of a high-level summary than a full record of your career to date), tailoring it to the opportunity at hand where relevant. The most efficient way to do this is often to include a short summary paragraph at the top, detailing your key skills, specific industry and function expertise, and an indication of where you are looking to head next. This paragraph can be adapted for each application. PDF format is preferred by most.

When providing your compensation expectations, give a realistic range of what you would be comfortable with, even if it’s a fairly broad range (you can add further context to your expectations in the screening questions). It’s not infrequent that a role is posted with a certain budget from the hiring manager, and then they decide to focus on the strongest profiles at the lower range of their budget first, meaning candidates who applied with just the top end of the budget (but who would have had flexibility if it came to it) miss out on being part of those initial interviews. At the other end of the spectrum, applying with expectations lower than what you’d actually be willing to move for and then trying to negotiate further along the process usually ends up with only wasted time and frustration for both parties.

It sounds obvious, but focus your time on the roles you meet all of the key requirements for. We will always outline in the job description which requirements are essential, and which are nice-to-haves.
