Dashboard

When you log in, this insightful dashboard will show you a snapshot of financials, what upcoming consultations are scheduled, how many consultations are booked, and existing cases.

First, you can start by completing your personal details and business profile, updating your consultancy fee and agreement, and finally completing your calendar and Stripe integration to accept booking consultations and payments.

Completing the Stripe integration will enable the "book a consultation" function for job seekers and employers when viewing your profile.


Setting up your profile

If you do not wish to use the lead generation service tool and advertise your services for potential new clients, please do not finish completing your profile. This will ensure your profile remains hidden.

Navigate to manage and then business profile in the left-hand side menu.

You will need to add your primary migration specialist information and business information. Include a professional profile picture, a business logo, and upload a banner image or video that best portrays your company.

Don't forget to add some details about your company as well as the locations of your offices.


Setting up your consultations and calendar

In order for the new lead to confirm a new booking with you, they must read and agree to the terms and conditions of your services in relation to the consultation. This will be sent to the user who books a consultation with you through our marketplace.

Navigate to your consultancy settings through settings on the left hand side menu, then consultancy settings on the top. On this page, you will be able to adjust your:

  • Consultancy terms and conditions agreement

  • Consultancy fee per session (AUD)

  • Availability

  • Calendar integrations

Connect your calendar for booking consultations under the calendar setting. You will be redirected to a new window to complete the process.


Consultations

Clients that have booked via your profile will appear under the consultations tab on the left side menu. You have the option to filter them by all, upcoming, closed, and overdue. There is also a quick button to review your settings.

You can engage with clients through this section as a two-way messaging portal by selecting the message icon if you need to ask any questions or follow up on any documents to be provided.

You can also mark consultations as complete via the actions drop down and mark as complete.

When marking a client as completed, this will initiate the release of funds via Stripe.


Please note: this may take a few days for the payment to clear in your bank account.


Agreements

This section contains all contractual agreements and documentation in relation to the migration services you choose to provide with leads and clients through Migration Marketplace. Within the agreements section you can:

  • Create new agreements

  • Invite & send agreements

  • Review all your previous and existing agreements as well as create job ad templates


Calendar

The calendar section allows you to review all of your previous and future bookings made through Migration Marketplace including those booked using the Google calendar. Here you can also disable and enable certain time blocks on your calendar through our in-built calendar system.


Financials

In financials, you can filter by all your invoices, payouts, and unsettled amounts from bookings and cases.

You can also download an individual invoice via the actions and view invoice. Otherwise you can download all on this page into a PDF for your records.


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

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

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.

If you want to request access to a new Employer account, click Invite Employer to Workinitiatives and a window will open for you to enter the Client Name and Client email.


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?

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.
