Can I still apply to jobs on my own and/or work with other staffing agencies?
Absolutely! We encourage you to continue actively searching on your own in addition to working with us. In fact, consider CNP just one step of your multifaceted job search. You are certainly welcome to work with other staffing agencies to increase your chances. The exception here is what is laid out in our contract, which is that—if you are being considered for one of our positions—we urge you not to go around us by approaching organizations directly about positions we present.
Additionally, we understand that most job-seekers are looking for permanent opportunities while they are temping. Our clients do ask, however, for candidates that can commit to an assignment in its entirety. That being said, if another position comes up, we require at least two weeks’ notice—as with any position. You would inform your recruiter first of the change so that he or she can make the necessary arrangements. In the event that you need to schedule interviews, your recruiter will be able to help you navigate that and schedule those so as to not negatively impact the assignment or client.
