Frequently asked questions
Every answer below links to the page that proves it.
No. Creating an account, keeping a profile, applying for work, browsing
consultants and using the community are all free. Two optional things are paid —
featuring a job advert, and a deposit against an accepted quote — and both are
priced on the pricing page, which is the only place on
the site that decides what anything costs.
From figures members contribute about their own work. A bucket — a role, a
seniority, a country — is published only once at least 3 different
people have contributed to it; one person submitting five times is still
a sample of one. Below that, the index shows the count and
withholds the numbers, and a period with too few contributors is shown as a gap
rather than filled in. You can add your own figure
once signed in, and it is never shown next to your name.
A breakdown you can hand to a client: consultant-days per SAP Activate phase,
a resource plan by role, a calendar duration and a budget. The parts reconcile
against the headline — phase days and resource days each sum exactly to the
total, and every cost is days times a rate — and the
estimator refuses to show a figure that does not add
up rather than showing one that nearly does. You can export it as a document,
a workbook or a deck.
Exactly one thing: that the member signed in to a LinkedIn account, and the name
on it. It is not a sign-in method here and never creates an account. LinkedIn
does not hand over a job history, an employer or a profile URL to an ordinary
application, so the badge does not claim any of those — a LinkedIn address typed
on a profile stays a claim, and is labelled as one. Link or unlink it from
your settings.
Only about something specific. Every conversation is anchored to a subject — an
application you made, or an enquiry about a job you advertised — so there is no
open inbox anybody can write into, and every thread has a subject line that is
true. Your threads are at messages.
Write to us — the contact page says what to include so the
first reply is a useful one. Account questions have to come that way: nothing
automated on this site can look you up, and we cannot identify an account from a
name alone.
