It is official – you have joined up with Crackerjacks and are about to embark on the contracting lifestyle! To get things moving you need to complete your account by including two referees in your profile.
How does it work?
Your referees will be sent an email asking a few questions regarding your workplace performance; it only takes a few minutes for them to complete – then you are sent the reference to activate on your profile. The review form takes into account your delivery against the contract objectives, integration with the business and your capabilities to work out an overall performance rating.
After you have secured a contract via Crackerjacks you can start building on your rating, which is developed by your initial referee’s comments and others who give you performance feedback. By having this feedback function you can enrich your profile by including qualitative comments that businesses have made about you. Keep in mind that one not-so-great review isn’t going to destroy you, so don’t despair – you do have the option to suppress some of it.
Ratings span from ‘New’ through to a ‘3 Star Crackerjack’. A 3 Star Crackerjack is at the top of their field, a 2 Star Crackerjack is a very good performer and a 1 Star Crackerjack can get the job done. If you have “New” this means you have had no feedback yet.
What does this mean for me?
Having these ratings allows you to stand out from the other contractors on the site. When a business searches for contractors, the ones with the highest ratings appear higher on the list. So stand out from the crowd and make it your priority to develop a high performance rating!
