Launched today, the new www.people4engineering.com website allows engineers to promote themselves to potential employers, listing their hire price, previous career experience, date that they are available for work, and their skill sets. Interested ëbuyersí can then browse for the staff they want, against a list of over 2,000 engineering skills, sorting them by cost, their location and their ëperformance ratingí.

ìThis is the future of contract engineering,î says Adeccoís CEO, Rene Schuster.

ìPeople4engineering is the perfect way for contractors and employers to find each other based entirely around what they need. The new site is great for both parties. Contractors can rest assured knowing that they are being paid the rate they have personally set, and employers can quickly and easily find those people with the exact experience and skills they need.î

Contractors using the new service will also benefit from the siteís guaranteed payment service, receiving payment for their work within 30 days of invoices being raised throughout the project. At the same time, those seeking contract engineers for work are able to check references from the contractorís previous work through people4engineering.com, with ëperformance ratingsí given by their former employers. The website is entirely free for both contractors and employers to register, and all rates listed to buyers on the site are inclusive of a 10% management fee.

Phil Lowe, Chairman of people4engineering.com, says that the site offers flexibility and transparency for both contractors and their potential employers: ìWe know that people like to do more for themselves online, such as making travel arrangements, buying goods or in the professional world with tools like online banking. This site empowers employers, recruiters and contractors alike to search for work or talent when and where they want. This really is a one-stop shop for engineering recruitmentî.
