Overview

Every temp placement follows these statuses before going live:

Status	What It Means
Draft	You create a temp placement request and submit it to Raise.
Awaiting Raise Approval	Raise reviews credit and compliance if the client is new.
Pending Client Approval	The client’s hiring manager approves the placement.
Pending Contractor Approval	The contractor provides payment details and approves the placement.
Pending Compliance Approval	Raise reviews the contractor’s details and performs a final credit check.
Active	The placement is live and timesheets generate automatically.

Below, you’ll find what happens at each stage and the key actions you can take.

Draft – Temp Placement Request

To request a new temp placement:

Go to the "Temp Placements" page.
Click "+ Request Placement" to open the request form.
Complete each section with details about the contractor, client, placement, and schedule.
Review your information, then click "Submit".

Once you submit a placement request, what happens next depends on whether the client is new:

If the client is new: the placement enters "Awaiting Raise Approval", where Raise reviews the client’s credit limit and compliance.
If the client is already onboarded: the request skips this step and moves straight to client approval.

When the client onboarding is complete — or if the client is already onboarded — the placement moves to "Pending Client Approval".

All new client and contractor users receive welcome emails to sign in to the Raise platform.
If you’ve chosen to issue terms for signature, the client’s authorised signatory receives a magic link to sign the terms.
Hiring managers then receive a magic link to approve the placement.
If the client is required to sign the schedule, they’ll do so during approval.

During this stage, contractors can sign in and review the placement and schedule, but they cannot approve it until the client has done so.

When the client has approved, the placement moves to "Pending Contractor Approval".

The contractor is notified to sign in and approve the placement. They must:

Review their placement details and schedule.
Provide compliance and payment details (if not already added during your request).
Sign the schedule if required.

After the contractor approves, the placement enters "Pending Compliance Approval".

Raise reviews:

Once Raise completes the compliance review, the placement becomes Active — it’s live!

From this point:

Timesheets will generate automatically.
Contractors and clients can manage their timesheets directly on the Raise platform.
