“Our branded portal on BenchOn (Jacobs Talent Community) is used to manage all solicitation and communications regarding subcontractor opportunities in support of all of Jacobs Australia’s programs. It has provided all of our teams with deep and immediate access to our registered supplier network, not just the suppliers they have traditionally worked with. Importantly, this has meant our suppliers are able to compete on merit and win work across all of our programs. It has saved us time, effort and cost in resourcing our programs and has also made it easier for our suppliers to pursue opportunities with us. Our aim has always been to create a mutually beneficial supplier relationship where selection for subcontractor roles is based on merit and supports a Best for Client outcome. This portal has definitely achieved that.”

FAQs
Will the suppliers be able to see all of our Assignments?
This is not a jobs board. With BenchOn, businesses only see what is specifically matched to their company profile. You then approve them to see the full description. You now have greater sourcing privacy by controlling who sees your information and when.
Can I just search through other company’s employees?
No, as with assignments, companies only see employee profiles that are released to them by the employing company in relation to a matched assignment. The employee profile must meet the essential criteria of the assignment to be submitted. Protection of Proprietary Information is critical to achieving a collaborative Industry Network.
How do I know that my information is secure after I release it to a supplier?
All companies on the BenchOn platform agree to our standard platform Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This protects the information you upload to the platform and what you receive through the platform. All businesses are bound to only use the information for the purpose for which it was intended. You can also add your own NDA as part of the sign-up process to your portal if you would like extra protection inside your Industry Network.
