- Follow company policies, procedures and Business Management System (BMS) standards
Requirements

- Exceptional attention to detail and accurate data entry

- This role is offered under an Independent Contractor agreement, meaning you’ll be responsible for managing your own taxes, benefits, work equipment, and internet connection. You will need to provide your own computer. You will not be entitled to employee benefits such as paid leave or health insurance from the client. It is a full-time, dedicated role, so you will be expected to work exclusively with our client for the duration of the engagement. A reference check will be conducted as part of the hiring process. Are you comfortable proceeding under these terms?
- If you’re successful in moving forward, are you comfortable in providing a screenshot of your verified LinkedIn profile? This will be used for verification purposes and will also be cross-checked as part of our standard process.
- As part of the process, once you reach the offer stage, we will require three referees: one previous HR representative, one previous employer or manager, and one previous colleague. If you’re happy to proceed, please acknowledge that you’re willing to comply with this requirement and will provide honest and reliable referees at that stage. Please also note that any discrepancies (for example, providing incorrect or misleading referee details) may affect your application status. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
