Service: Our overriding objective is to allow a free, open, current, transparent labour market place for pre-dominantly the electrican trade (but other electrical workers also can use this as necessary) with electricianXchange as the introductory mechanism through which the two stakeholders, employer & jobseeker (permanent, sub-contract or casual) come together directly negotiating directly on dates, rates, conditions.

In the interests of maintaining an active Service, should a jobseeker or an employer not respond within a reasonable time, to a reach out by either party to the other, electricianXchange reserves the right to cancel the approach on your behalf replying on your behalf  - this being in the interests of having an active current market place for talent.

Its a free service to search, communicate, align and pre-qualify via the chats - but no contact details such as name, contact number, email address, web site addresses are allowed in the chats. Its free for the employer too, with the employer getting the jobseeker's contact details after initial chats (to determine alignment).

If contact details are sent withint the chats (which we monitor daily) electricianXchange can choose to unsubscribe the employer / jobseeker who does that, for not strictly following the terms and conditions upon which this service is being provided.
