Easier job posting

Posting a job with Connect is now easier and more intuitive. Select "Find/select vendors -> Post a job" from the main Connect menu, and complete the streamlined job posting form. To use a previous job posting as a template, just select "Copy details from a previous job". Click here to post a Connect job.

Connect directory improvements

A new "quick search" option allows you to execute likely searches, or repeat your past searches, with a single click. Individual search requirements have also been simplified with relevant one-click options. Additional search criteria are also available, such as new service types (transcription and post-editing) and CAT tool versions. Click here to search the Connect directory.

Connect control center for translators and interpreters

A control center has been added for translators to manage their Connect activity. Track payment status of projects won via Connect, record project history, make Blue Board entries, and request WWA (willingness to work again) feedback. Also review past quotes and messages. Click here to manage your Connections.

New screencast: closing the loop with candidates

A new video has been added that explains how Connect makes it easy for you to close the loop with interested candidates, and why this is important. Click here to watch the screencast.
