How the process works
After you apply through the original PNet advert, Communicate IT reviews your profile against what its clients look for in C++ talent. Because this is a talent-pool listing, suitable candidates are kept in mind for future openings with leading organisations, and the agency makes contact when a matching role arises. The source notes that if you have not had a response in two weeks, you should consider the application unsuccessful, although your profile is kept on file for other suitable roles.
