Jobseeker strategy

Due to the immediacy of most contract vacancies, time is generally of the essence. Some posts aren’t advertised, some are advertised for a number of days only. Keep your CV on file with 2-3 agencies and ensure you are dealing with consultants who know the market. They will act on your behalf and alert you to any roles out there. In the same breath, keep a close eye on various website. All of our contract roles are updated here as soon as they become live, so that any roles here are live and generally immediate.

Networking is important when seeking a contract position. For consultants (but also good advice for more junior people) - have a strong network with senior industry experts and decision-makers on LinkedIn, ensure they know you are seeking a new role and keep in touch with them regularly. This should ensure you are spreading the net wide enough to be informed of new roles as they become live.
