Translation
Translation
Under Translation, migration specialists can request NAATI certified translation services.
Alongside offering these services to their clients, there is a commission incentive for completed translation services. If your clients need translation services, just head over to the Translation tab. You’ll be able to send them a link directly for translation services and choose how you'd like to handle the pricing. You can:
Pass on the full 20% discount with no commission.
Give your client a 10% discount and keep a 10% commission
Receive a 20% commission and your client will pay full translation service costs
To access translations:
Select Translation from the left-hand menu.
Review the available translation service information.
Select Start translation when you are ready to begin.
Follow the prompts to choose the document language and upload the required document.
You can easily:
Select from a wide range of languages
Choose your required certification
Pick a translator from the list
Set the level of detail you need (Extract or full translation)
Simply upload your file, answer a few questions, and complete your order with a secure checkout for a digital translation.
The job will then be sent to the Translator for review and completion, if any questions or edits are to be made, this will be sent back to you through the messaging system on the Translation page Dashboard.
Please note: Translation turn around times can vary and no time line can be given. We recommend you reach out to the translator for the job via going into the job and using the messages section to liaise with them directly.
Connecting to a client's account
Connecting to a client's account
Our marketplace also offers a convenient way to manage and view your client's job ads. By connecting to their accounts, you can easily access and download Labour Market Testing data, making it easier for you to provide your services and support to your clients.
There are two ways for you to gain access:
An Employer can invite you to their account
If you wish to be invited to their account, speak with your client and ask them to invite you by following this guide here.
You can request access to the Employer's account
You can request access from the Workinitiatives area portal and this will bring you to your Employer portal as a Migration Specialist.
Go to Workinitiatives and you can select Manage Clients.
Here you will see a list of Clients you have access to already and the status of each.
Pending - You've requested access or you can request access again (if they lost the email), this means the Employer has not accepted your access yet.
Accepted - You can access that employer account
Revoked - You no longer have access to that employer account.
To invite a client you would like to manage on Workinitiatives:
Go to Workinitiatives from Migration Marketplace.
Select Manage Clients.
Select Invite company to Workinitiatives.
Enter the company details.
Send the invitation.
Clicking Invite will email the person to whom you've requested access and they will need to either sign up as a new customer or log in and accept before you can see their account.
Note: to ensure transparency and security, it is essential to provide your client’s email address when inviting them to our Workinitiatives platform. This allows them to be fully informed about their involvement with the system, where they can access and manage job ads, review applicants, and more.
Please note that this step cannot be skipped or bypassed as it is crucial in preventing fraudulent use of business details and ensures that all parties are aware of and consent to their responsibilities in the hiring process, ultimately protecting both you and your clients.
How does my client accept the request?
How does my client accept the request?
If the Client has never used Workinitiatives before, they are required to register and sign up. Here is a tutorial on how they would accept the request:
If they have a Workinitiatives account already, you can advise them to go the next step of granting access in Manage Service Providers.
The button in the email they receive takes them to the Employer registration page where they need to provide: First Name, Last Name, Email, Password, Mobile Number and Company Name.
Once they have registered, they will be logged into the Employer portal, and they will find the agent's request in Menu > Manage Service Providers > and will see their agent's name and Grant access button.
The access is instantaneous, if the agent returns to their Migration Marketplace portal, they will see they have been accepted and can Access Company.
