How does Skills Connect actually work?
Once an employer loads a job profile and quote request onto the Skills Connect Quote Board, selected and preferred suppliers are able to quote against the Job Request. On acceptance of a quote response, an employer places an Order against the Quote. Candidates are submitted using Google Search Applications and once selected the Skills Connect Compliance module generates a Time Sheet which is tracked, approved on line, and linked in real time against the quoted price.
