Calling all freelancers...

Hi all, thanks for checking in. We hope you’re surviving these wintry conditions?! We just thought we’d let you have a few Grape and Grey details on freelancing while you are continuing the hunt for your next role.
Well, it’s very simple here because life is already too complicated. Here’s how it works:
(1)    You tell us your day rate
(2)    We find you a freelance role
(3)    You meet / speak to the client
(4)    The client says, “When can you start?”
(6)    You say, “straight away”
(7)    We invoice the client a fee for introducing you to them
(8)    You invoice the client for your work
(9)    The client pays you direct (as long as you’ve done a great job)
Easy?  We think so, and so do our clients and our freelancers. Why not register with us and test the system for yourself? (We hope our simple approach brings you a little ray of sunshine!!)
On that note, if you do register your CV with us at ed@grapeandgrey.co.uk  and you’re a Designer of any description, we’d like to introduce our newest team member to you, Luke, who has just recently joined us. Luke comes from an established design recruitment background and is heading up our Design sector here at Grape and Grey. He works with a fabulous range of design agencies and clients and is networked up to the eyeballs. So, as long as you are talented and available and our clients like what they see, Luke at Grape and Grey will be your man!
That’s all for now, more news will be emerging on developments this end in the next couple of weeks.  It’s all very exciting so keep checking in so you don’t miss anything.....In the meantime, you can check us out at twitter for some of our latest jobs! http://twitter.com/ed_grapeandgrey

Candidate Recommendation Rewards



Here at Grape and Grey, we’re serious about people, it’s our job.
We also really appreciate the value of “good” recommendations from quality candidates.  Much of our business operates in this way.
With that in mind we would like to offer any registered candidate who recommends a friend to us who subsequently registers fully with us and is appointed through Grape and Grey the following rewards:
Freelance appointment: Your choice of £25 worth of either Pizza Express or iTunes vouchers
Permanent placement: Up to £500 to be paid directly to you (subject to the candidate staying with the company for a minimum of 3 months and our introduction fees having been paid)
We hope that this sounds appealing to you and that when thinking about your next career move, you may also consider those of your friends or network and put them in touch with us.
Don’t forget, your friend must let us know that they have been recommended by you in order to qualify for your reward.
Happy Networking!
