We do not have a jobs board any more. Instead electricianXchange enables jobseekers to create their work profile / resume with their dates of availability, the rates they are after, with experience details listed on the platform which the employer then selects via a search facility.
Once both parties agree on all aspects including dates of availability and rates, you as the jobseeker get introduced to the employer with reference checks being commenced by electricianXchange based on referee details provided.
In this way its a more efficient way of finding work whether its on a permanent, sub-contract, part time or casual basis.
