There will be no obligation to prosperIS once you are registered as a candidate. You are free to pursue alternative avenues to find your next opportunity/job.

Are there any rules about the layout and content of my CV?
There are no steadfast rules for CV layout and content but we would offer the following general advice:

	Try to keep the CV succinct and relevant – outline the primary skills and responsibilities. Even if you have many years experience, CV’s longer than this will often be disregarded by our customers.
	Though many sectors are inter-changeable, we would advise the following order of content: NAME/PERSONAL DETAILS; CAREER SUMMARY/OBJECTIVE; EDUCATIONAL SKILLS; EMPLOYMENT HISTORY; SKILLS SUMMARY/OUTLINE; MISCELLANEOUS/LANGUAGES/HOBBIES
	Keep the layout simple – different colours, photos and tables are often uneccessary and make the CV look too complicated or messy.
	Keep a consistent font throughout the CV.
	In Career History, give the company name, job title and a brief outline of tasks and responsibilities.
	Explain how you personally have developed or influenced etc, rather than how you’ve been part of a team that’s developed or influenced.

How do I register as an ‘Employer’ or ‘Customer’ with prosperIS?
You can create your own account using the ‘Employer Registration’ link from the left hand column, or click here to register now. This is the first step towards working with prosperIS Recruitment and registering your jobs and opportunities with us.

Is there a registration fee involved in registering with prosperIS?
No. By registering as an Employer or Customer through this website, you are not obligated to accept candidates through prosperIS. Essentially registering with prosperIS is free of charge and fees will only be charged if we successfully find suitable candidates for your roles and that person starts working with your organisation. Essentially we operate a ‘no win, no fee’ service.

What factors may have an affect on the fees and services offered?
There are various factors that may affect the fees and services offered, some of which are outlined below:

	Working on an exclusivity basis – should you agree to a period of exclusivity before releasing positions to other agencies (5-10 working days would be usual) we can offer reductions in the costs and fees of our service.
	Bulk business – quite simply, should a customer frequently search for additional staff, prosperIS can offer reduced costs and fees should we know that we will have access to these positions. (both situations above mean that we can better plan and organize resources by understanding the relative opportunity for a successful outcome)
	Level of role/seniority – for certain positions, we feel that we can find suitable candidates easier. Should we believe that the search for suitable candidates will be less difficult, prosperIS will be able to offer lower fees.

What is the cost of working with prosperIS to find suitable candidates for opportunities through prosperIS?
The cost of our service is highly competitive comparable to our competition in the market. The general terms and conditions of our service are outlined in the ‘Terms’ section of this website, with the exact fees negotiable dependent upon the positions available within your organisation and the scarcity or otherwise of those persons and the required skills in the market. Please contact us to discuss and negotiate suitable terms of business.

If I register a position with prosperIS, how quickly can I expect to receive suitable profiles/CV’s?
Our expectation would be to present suitable candidates within 2-3 working days from receiving the organisation. Clearly should the role be more niche in its nature then this may not be possible, but this would be the service level expected normally.

If I register a position with prosperIS, how many CV’s can I expect to receive?
prosperIS firmly believe that agencies should understand the needs of an organisation and not merely forward any CV’s that seem a close match. Having spoken with the candidates to understand and assess their match to the required skills, we will select only 2-3 CV’s to be presented to our customers. The only exception would be if a customer specifically requests more CV’s for the purpose of comparison.

What are the major benefits of working with prosperIS and registering as a customer on our website?
The major benefits of our service and of registering on our website are:

	High quality CV’s – only 2-3 CV’s per role presented within 2-3 working days of release of the position
