When there are large contracts between companies, a PQQ (Pre-Qualification Questionnaire) is used. In situations like this, the capabilities of the organisations are checked, such as whether they can sustain the project, if they have enough skills including technical background staff and whether they have enough experience to do the project. After these questions are answered, the shortlisting of companies can begin to take place. The document is also a useful way for contracting local authorities to control the cost of the tender process. The questions that are included in a PQQ include financial statements for submission of the tender, questions related to health and safety, an environmental questionnaire, supplementary questions, technical and quality check questions, and additional questions that are related to the background of the contractor.
The PQQ is submitted by the contractor before the invitation to tender is sent. It is an effective way of marketing, and sufficient time is required to assess the necessary resources required so that one can complete the necessary submissions. Often when we talk about PQQ, time is of the essence and great competition between the different contractors requires it to be finished on time. Any corporation that has capabilities to work for the supplier should send the proper PQQ before the deadline so that contracting authorities can hold a meeting with them and settle important issues before time.
Various online services exist which serve to help contractors with their last minute questions and answers. These types of services have made the decision for contractors and suppliers relatively easy and everything can be settled in a professional manner. For the tender notification, the company details are usually maintained in one central place. This information requires sufficient space and resources and some costs are associated with it to maintain it properly. Every bid made by the contractors must be submitted in accordance with the requirement of the contracting authorities and the PQQ must be relevant to it. This enables online service providers to view the contract details and answer any relevant queries in accordance with this centralised information.
The responses to the questions can be quite varied; for example, a construction company requires two contracts and it requires bidding for two projects. The efficiency of the work that the contractor can provide is the same for all projects, including technical skills, experience and environmental conditions. However, the work that is required for both projects is different, and the responses to the questions of the company must be such that it can handle both projects. But the issue of concern is that the contractor has to fill out two separate forms for the bid, and on each PQQ form the questions must be asked in accordance with the projects. However, if the company fills out only one form, then the response must be such that it ensures both the correct answers and makes the user think in depth about the difference in the projects.
If your courier jobs take you on late night drives down the highway in certain states (like the Four Corners) you're lucky if you've never had any creepy incidents occur. There are stories of people on courier jobs from way back in the days of the Pony express and horse-drawn carriages, encountering ghostly apparitions and evil manifestations to hamper those trying to make an honest living doing deliveries.
Highway 666
This highway, said to be the most haunted area in the region known as the Four Corners, covering Arizona, New Mexico, California and Utah, has an unusual record of strange accidents. There are accounts from both delivery folk on haulage and courier jobs, and ordinary motorists caught outside late. Some say it's the name that gives people the creeps, making them edgy and making imaginations work overtime, which was why in the year 2003, the government renamed it Route 491.
Still, the quickie name change hasn't quite helped exorcise the creepy goings-on on what is known as the Devil's Highway. Sceptics attribute this to people's memories- some still know it by its old name, which is why there are still many stories told by drivers traversing this route on courier jobs. Here are just a few of them.
The Evil Semi
Perhaps it's the heat in the area, but many vehicles tend to overheat or experience flat tires on this highway. When they stop, people say that they look up to suddenly see a huge black semi about to crash into them or run them down, then disappear. (Variations on this are people who claim to actually have been sideswiped or hurt by the evil semi while stalled, before it disappears as well.) Tip: on your courier jobs, make sure your vehicles take the pre-trip vehicle maintenance check ups to avoid being stalled anywhere near the vicinity of the evil semi. Make sure there are sufficient oil levels, the tires have the right amount of air pressure, and there is plenty of water in the radiator.
The Devil's Limo
It's said that on Highway 666- okay, Route 491- a scary black sedan suddenly appears to ram lone drivers on this stretch of road. Different travelers feel intense fear at sunset, then once darkness falls on the desolate road headlights appear in the rear view mirror. Many speed or pull over, but the limo seems to gain on them quickly, whooshing past. When they look up, they find that there was no vehicle at all. Some say that it's most likely a trick of the senses brought about by the desert heat- so always make sure you're well-hydrated on courier jobs and reduce the chance of seeing Satan's limo!
Who Let The Dogs Out?
Similar to accounts of another haunted highway in England, motorists tell of a pack of vicious, threatening dogs running alongside vehicles regardless of speed; they are believed to have been responsible for numerous traffic accidents. Said to have the power to literally shred tires with their razor sharp teeth, jump into the windows of cars and trucks then attack and maul the individuals in the vehicles, they've been blamed for many deaths on the road. Tip: just in case you see them on courier jobs- have the number of animal control on speed dial!

Since the advent of the internet, everything is going online, from clothes and shoes to kitchenware stores, food products and medicine, fashion or furniture. No matter if it's a product or service, everything now has an online presence. Organisations are shrinking and cutting down staff, saving money and costs and increasing output using technology. In the same way, most of the companies prefer using recruitment agency services to hire new employees. There are more job seekers than there are jobs posted on the internet, therefore finding the right candidate through the internet is not at all a difficult task, although it can be very time consuming because of the amount of applications you can receive.
It is recommended initially for the companies to find flat fee recruitment agencies compared to the traditional and expensive, high rate agencies in the market. Such agencies are more efficient then traditional agencies and only charge a nominal fee for each person you hire from their work. They do not claim to take the percentage of salary for the first one or two years like the traditional recruitment agency would, so saving businesses money overall. As the world has become a global village and internet is within the reach of every individual, these recruitment agencies use smart email and recruitment campaigns and utilise the power of social media to reach the millions of unemployed. The reach of these agencies is their charm, as they can reach a lot more people than a newspaper advert for example.
Once you have put a bit of time in searching for the correct, reasonable and less charging recruitment agency and you come across a suitable one, all you need to do is to just fill out the predefined forms and some details and communicate with the agency representative for the nominal fee that they charge. You do not need to sit and talk for long hours disturbing your busy working time in order to define the criteria, terms and conditions, skills and qualities of employees that you are looking for. They know all of this and are very efficient at finding the right candidates.
The recruitment agency will do the search on your behalf and bring you the best possible candidate to interview. The effective and hassle free services that these recruitment agencies are providing, encourages companies to hand over the candidate search responsibility to the recruitment agency. There is no need to hire separate human resource staff and to pay them salaries, which saves a good amount for most of the UK businesses today. These recruitment agencies covers all areas, just because they charge less does not mean they are limited and do not provide candidates for all fields. There can be flat fee services for hiring in engineering fields, education, clerical, IT, medical and accounting fields amongst others.
