Frequently asked questions
Typically, you will need to process your hours/expenses on our timesheet portal (mobile app available, see below) and your submitted timesheet will be approved by your line manager.
The client may also request that you submit your hours on their own internal portal. If you’re working through an umbrella provider they will likely ask you to submit your approved hours for the week ending period to them via email in order to raise an invoice for payment on your behalf.

Every site has different requirements and this also varies from client to client, we will always advise what is needed upon application.
We often have roles that aren’t publicly advertised, at our client's request. As such, it is always best to submit a copy of your CV to us or call/email a member of our engineering recruitment team.
Simply head over to our job search where you will be able to submit a copy of your CV to our team. You can also reach them via our contact us page.
Cover letters are arguably the most frustrating and arduous part of a job application. Not every hiring manager or recruiter will ask for one, but if they do, it is because they are looking for more information about you and why you want the job than your CV provides on its own. If you have been avoiding writing a cover letter, we can help you. Here are some tips you should follow to help your application stand out
The structure of your cover letter could be the difference between securing an interview or being put straight into the rejection pile. If it’s unorganised, not only is this unprofessional, but the employer could make the assumption that you are unorganised yourself. A cover letter shouldn’t drag out, make sure you keep it concise, outlining the key information. It should be less than half a page. Your cover letter needs to be formatted along the lines of your CV.

Feedback was provided after each part of the recruitment process which was invaluable.
Adam Cave was extremely helpful and really listened to what I was looking for in my next role. Adam was able to gauge my needs and wants in an initial introductory conversation to see if I was a fit for the roles he was currently recruiting for and was nothing but honest rather than simply putting me through the process for multiple roles. Feedback was provided after each part of the recruitment process which was invaluable. I would highly recommend using Murray McIntosh to any of my friends and colleagues if they are looking for their next role!
