How do I apply for a new job listed?
When posting a new job businesses have the three options of how they wish the job to be posted:
1. Self Service Open Tender
This is where the job is posted to the noticeboard and consultants can view details and apply directly to the business contact.
2. Self Service Consultant Directory
Under this option the job is posted to the noticeboard but is closed off for applications. Instead the business user searches consultant’s profiles and contacts them directly inviting their interest.
3. Consulting WorX Matching Service
This option is chargeable for the business and is where Consulting WorX matches suitable consultants to the job based on specific criteria as provided by the business.
Can I view details on the job?
Yes. Once logged in to the secure area of the website, you can search for jobs based on certain criteria. You can then view full details on each particular job listed and apply for a job by clicking on the link provided.
Does Consulting WorX provide a recommendation on a particular consultant?
No. Consulting WorX does not recommend or endorse any consultant.
Am I competing against other consultants for a job?
Yes you probably will be so make sure you are prompt and efficient in your dealings with the business customer and sell yourself and the best consultant for the job.
What are the expected response times?
It is expected that a consultant will reply to any invitation to apply for a job within 24 hours. Remember you will probably be competing against other consultants and you don’t want to miss out because you were late in replying.
Can a business request a preferred consultant in future?
Yes. The best way of doing this is for the business to select (Option 2) Consultant Directory Listing when posting a new job and then contact the consultant directly via their profile page inviting their interest.
Please be aware of the Restraint of Trade clause as outlined in the Consulting WorX terms and conditions. It is a breach to employ or retain a consultant directly within a period of 6 months from the date of completion of a Job Request without the intervention of Consulting WorX. If you do offer work to a consultant within the 6 month period and the consultant accepts the work, the business will immediately become liable to Consulting WorX for an introduction fee of $1000.00.
If I have a problem with a business what can I do?
Consulting WorX is a facilitator only and is independent of all transactions that may occur between you and a business. It is recommended that you execute a contract setting out the scope of work, including the role, responsibilities, performance criteria, milestones, timeframe and payment you require from the business so that there is no misunderstanding. However Consulting WorX Pty Ltd prides itself on standards of excellence and is happy to assist in a dispute resolution should it arise.
