Important information for candidates on assignment through BrightPool

Once on an assignment with BrightPool, your candidate profile will have a new feature added to it - your Dashboard - which contains the following important information:

Work schedule.

As a candidate, you will need to complete and submit your work schedules on a weekly basis. You should login and update your work schedules at the end of each day (by filling the circles for both mornings and afternoons worked) and submit for Client approval at the end of your working week.Remember to save your updated work schedules before shutting down or submiiting for approval.

You can save your compeleted work schedule at any point prior to submittal by clicking the grey 'save work schedule' button beneath the list of weekdays. To submit for client approval click the orange 'submit for Cient approval' button next to it.

Pressing the 'request approval' button sends an email to the Client contact at the company you are working at to authorise your timesheet.

You are able to submit your timesheets for approval from Thurdsay onwards (for those that are working a four day week). You will also receive a reminder email on Friday morning. If you are working over the weekend please do not submit your work schedules for approval until you have finished on Sunday as the working week runs Monday - Sunday; submitting before this time without those days ticked will mean you will not be paid for them.

Current Assignment.

This area tells you the name of your Client contact, what your daily rate is and when you are next due to be paid.

Discussions.

The discussions box is a three-way communication portal that automatically sends emails between you, the Client and your BrightPool consultant. It's a quick and easy way of getting everyone involved in the conversation.

My performance.

Your Client contact will have agreed a list of goals for you to complete during the length of your assignment - these are displayed in this section. Each week you should update your progress as a score of 1 - 10 against each goal. Every column of the corresponding graph represents a week of your assignment.

Latest Activity.

Every change to your assignment - from an updated goal or an approved timesheet - is recorded in the activity box. You can opt in or out of receiving an email alert for each new addition by ticking or unticking the assignment alerts circle in the 'Notifications' section of your candidate profile, which can be found here: http://www.brightpool.co.uk/profile/edit
