Fingerprinting | Types of Positions

  1. Maternity Leave Cover – When an employee leaves an organization for a period of time to have a baby. In some countries their job is guaranteed to them when they get back. Maternity leave contracts are understood to only be for a relatively short period of time.
  2. Internship – This is usually an unpaid position for someone seeking to gain relevant work experience. Some internships are paid but the rate is usually lower than standard.
  3. Executive Search – Executive recruitment usually relates to jobs over $100K and some way up the management ladder.
  4. C-level Jobs – Based on positions such as ‘CEO, CIO, and CTO’, C-level jobs are top level jobs denoting management of a particular aspect of the company. Sometimes also referred to as CXO or C-Suite roles.
  5. Entry Level Job – A job that does not require experience, usually aimed at candidates straight out of college.
  6. Job Shadowing – When an employee (or perhaps even a recruiter) spends time with another employee in a similar or higher position to that being advertised in order to learn more about the role.
  7. Lateral Job Transfer – An opportunity to move into another position within the organization with the same level of responsibility or pay but typically in a different department.
  8. Returnship – This is a term for an internship specifically designed for professionals looking to return after a period of time out of the workforce.

    Job Lingo

    1. Compensation/Salary – This refers to the amount of money (not including benefits) the employee will receive in return for the work done in a specific role.
    2. Benefits – These are the non-cash incentives that are provided over and above the salary. For example, cars, fuel allowance, gym membership, a car spot, flexible hours, or lunch from the canteen every day. Also known as ‘Perks’.
    3. Work-Life Balance – Assuming this can be achieved, it refers to the ratio of time spent at work to time spent outside of work. Employees like to think an organization will provide them with work life balance.
    4. OTE – On Target Earnings. Most commonly seen in sales-related positions, this is the estimated amount an employee will receive assuming they meet all their targets and therefore qualify for all their commissions.
    5. DOE – Depending On Experience. A reference to when a salary is dependent on the amount of experience a candidate has.
    6. Piece Rate – This refers to when an employee is paid purely based on the amount of pieces or actual items they produce.
    7. Comp time or Time In Lieu – Rather than paying overtime, a company may offer comp time or time in lieu, meaning an employee does not have to come in to work for the duration of the hours they have worked overtime.
    8. Employee Assistance Program – This is a program implemented by an organization to provide benefits to its employees. -RecruitLoop
