Contractor Pro questions
Simple answers about Contractor Pro, PRO-only contracts, Live Job Radar and the wider Pro toolkit.
What is Live Job Radar?
You choose the jobs you want to hear about. When a new contract matches those choices, Live Job Radar can send an instant browser alert to your connected phone or computer.
Does Live Job Radar work on mobile?
Yes. It works with Chrome on Android, Safari on iPhone through the IT Contractors UK Home Screen app, and Safari or Chrome on macOS.
Will Live Job Radar become annoying?
You control the alerts. Choose stricter job rules, set quiet hours, Snooze alerts, or turn individual devices off.
Does Live Job Radar constantly poll in the browser?
No. Your browser does not keep refreshing the site. The server checks when a new job is published and sends an alert if it matches your rules.
What is CV Analyser Pro?
CV Analyser Pro compares your CV with a specific contract. Pick a live IT Contractors UK job or paste a job description from another site.
Is my CV sent to an external AI service?
No. CV Analyser Pro does not send your CV to ChatGPT or another external AI/CV-analysis provider and does not create a permanent CV record in the CV Analyser database.
Is the IT Contractor Directory listing a Pro feature?
Yes for new Contractor IDs. New Free Contractor IDs remain private and are not listed in the public IT Contractor Directory.
What happens to my public profile URL if Pro later expires?
Your profile URL stays reserved to your Contractor ID. If Pro ends, the public profile can be hidden, but somebody else cannot take your URL.
Can recruiters contact me through my Pro profile?
Yes. Approved recruiters can contact eligible Pro profiles through IT Contractors UK without seeing your email address or phone number.
Do I need Contractor Pro to apply for a Free contract?
No. A verified Free Contractor ID can read the full source job description and apply to Free contracts.
What is a PRO contract?
Everyone can see the public contract facts and Decision Snapshot. A signed-in Free Contractor ID can unlock an individual PRO contract with 1 Job Credit, while Contractor PRO members get unlimited access to PRO contracts.
How do Job Credits work?
£3.50 buys 5 Job Credits. Each credit unlocks one specific PRO job description and its original application route for your Contractor ID. The same job never charges another credit when you revisit it, and each purchased pack is valid for 12 months.
Why choose Contractor PRO instead of Job Credits?
Job Credits are designed for occasional PRO applications. Contractor PRO costs £18 for 12 months and gives unlimited PRO job access plus Live Job Radar, advanced search, CV Analyser Pro, matching, recruiter visibility and the wider PRO toolkit.
Can a PRO-only contract later become Free?
Yes. Some roles can be scheduled to switch from PRO-only to Free during their publication. Once they become Free, a verified Free Contractor ID can read the full source JD and apply.
What does My Contract Matches do?
It compares your Contractor ID with the live jobs and shows stronger matches first. It does not decide whether you will be hired.
What remains free?
Your Contractor ID account, the full jobs feed, full source JDs and applications for Free contracts, plus public rate benchmarking, remain available without Contractor Pro.
Does Pro guarantee a contract?
No. Pro gives you stronger tools and access to more opportunities, but getting a contract still depends on your skills, experience and fit for the role.
Is Contractor Pro automatically recurring?
No. Your payment covers 12 months. It does not renew automatically.
How is my PayPal payment verified?
Each checkout uses a unique PayPal order. After you approve it, our server checks your Contractor ID before capture. A verified completed capture activates Pro automatically; unusual or pending captures are held for manual review.
What are the paid options?
Job Credits are £3.50 for 5 PRO job unlocks, valid for 12 months. Contractor PRO is £18 for 12 months with unlimited PRO job access and the full PRO toolkit. Neither option renews automatically.
