It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will be employed to work a minimum number of contracted hours, paid on a time-sheeted basis, and your hours will be reviewed annually to correspond to the requirements of the department.
