FAQ's

Are temporary roles valuable when I’m between jobs, or could they make my CV look inconsistent? 

Temporary roles are a smart, strategic way to stay active and marketable. Instead of creating gaps, temporary assignments showcase your adaptability, resilience, and willingness to contribute in different environments. Temp roles often require you to quickly integrate into new teams, master unique processes, and deliver results under pressure, all traits highly valued by employers. They also provide valuable opportunities to expand your professional network, which often leads directly to permanent roles down the line. 

What’s the difference between being a temp and a contractor? 

The key difference lies in employment status and entitlements. 

  • Temporary Staff (Temp): Typically employed by a recruitment agency or the client company for short-term needs (e.g., covering staff leave or seasonal work). They are considered employees and receive standard entitlements like holiday pay, sick leave, and KiwiSaver contributions. Their work is directed by the employer, similar to permanent staff. 
  • Contractor: Usually self-employed or operating their own business under a fixed-term contract to provide a specific service. They have greater autonomy over how they deliver their work and are responsible for managing their own taxes and benefits. Contractors are more common in senior or specialised project-based roles, but ultimately, the choice depends on the client's needs. 

How can I optimise my CV so it’s recognised by AI applicant tracking systems (ATS)? 

To optimise your CV, you need to make it both human-friendly and ATS-compatible. Use clear formatting, standard headings, and relevant keywords pulled directly from the job description to ensure the AI systems can easily read your experience. 

At Momentum, we use AI to make our processes more efficient, not to replace the human element. Our consultants still review every CV carefully. AI is simply a tool to speed up initial sorting and identify relevant experience, but the final decision and evaluation always come from a real person. Therefore, your CV should always highlight your skills, achievements, and measurable results in a way that is easy for both the technology and our team to understand.
