1. Choose Workers
The Marketplace will now ask you to put some suitable workers forward, this is going to allow us at Care Hires, and the client, to ensure that your workers are going to be a good fit for this assignment.
💡TIP
Workers for the assignment will need to be uploaded (with the suitable certifications) before you can apply for the assignment. If you need help uploading workers, please see the Uploading Workers section.
Once you have identified suitable workers, simply check the box next to their name. When all suitable workers have been selected, please select ‘Next’ to continue.
💡TIP
The more workers you submit, that match the full criteria, the higher the chance that you’ll secure the assignment.
2. Set Rates
It’s now time for you to submit your rates for this assignment - the client will have already submitted a range of rates that are suitable for their service. Use the ‘Estimated Hourly Cost’ section to input your standard rate.
💡TIP
The closer your rate is to the lower end of the rate scale, the higher the likelihood that the client will choose your agency. However, make sure that the rate you submit is feasible for your agency's business model.
If you have enhanced rates on certain days/times of the week - we have included the Special Rates section to accommodate for this. Please tick and complete the ‘Hourly Rate’ box for any enhanced rates you would like to charge.
Once you have entered and reviewed your rates, please select ‘Next’ to move on to the next stage of your bid
📒 NOTE
Clients are likely to accept the Care Hires standard for Bank and Special Holiday Rates, these are as follows:
- Bank Holidays: 1.5x your regular Hourly Rate
- Special Holidays (Christmas & New Years Day): 2x your regular Hourly Rate
3. Signatory
We will also need you to designate a user as the signatory, this will be the individual who will be signing the client-level agreement on behalf of your agency - so whoever is allocated must have the authority to do so.
Once you have allocated your signatory, please click 'Next' to proceed to the final part of the bid.
