How do you match consultants with opportunities?

How are consultants rewarded?
Consultants are typically paid a fixed daily rate. Our daily rates are determined in alignment with industry standards and are tiered based on skill and expertise.
Daily rates can vary based on the skills required for each individual project and will always be agreed at the outset of each engagement.
We engage independent consultants in two ways: as a contractor or as a casual employee for the duration of the engagement.
We will discuss which engagement method is best for you and your circumstances at the outset of each engagement.
Daily rates are exclusive of superannuation and GST.
What is expected of me on an SpencerMaurice engagement?
We expect that you provide the following tools of trade: laptop with appropriate levels of security, a mobile phone, internet access, an appropriate home office.
We will provide access to our virtual desktop solution and expect that all consultants utilise the cloud data management system.
It is important that no SpencerMaurice or client information is sent to any personal accounts or stored on personal hardware.
When you join an active delivery team, we expect the same quality of work and professionalism that we do from all our Independent Consultants.
We’ll give you regular feedback on the services you provide, to help guide your efforts and make sure you meet these standards.
You’re also responsible for recording the days and hours you’ve worked and ensuring your timesheets are submitted every Friday
