Description What is an iProfile? - your iProfile is an online CV that contains precise definitions of your skills, qualifications and experiences in a format that the recruitment industry has adopted as a standard. Nearly half of the largest UK recruitment companies have adopted the iProfile and 90% of IT workers now hold an iProfile. Why was the iProfile invented? - with the average agency now receiving over 3,000 CVs each week, many are unable to cope with the work involved in processing all this information, responding to all of these candidates and accurately matching them to jobs. The problem is down to the traditional CV. This is because each CV is presented differently, everybody has their own way of describing their skills and as soon as it is received it goes out-of-date. By creating a standard format for the CV (the iProfile), those agencies that are compatible can now process your information within seconds of receiving it and precisely match you to their jobs. What are the benefits of having an iProfile? Your iProfile takes the hassle out of finding work in the following ways: It’s re-usable - time spent completing your iProfile is never wasted as you can re-use your iProfile with other iProfile Compatible recruitment companies. Hear about jobs first - before advertising a vacancy, consultants search against their database of iProfiles using the same definitions you use in the iProfile to define your skills, qualifications and experiences. Therefore, making sure you complete as much information as possible in your iProfile will ensure you get returned in consultants’ searches when they have a job that is suitable for you. You take control - only the recruitment companies that you send your CV to or you register with will ever see your iProfile. In contrast to the CV, your iProfile also enables you to control who has access to your information at any time. Easy to update - you can use your iProfile to easily update the iProfile Compatible recruitment companies you allow to view your iProfile with changes in your job seeking status, availability, job preferences etc. Greater security and protection - the iProfile ensures compliance with the Data Protection Act and the Conduct of Employment Agency Regulations. Not only that but also the terms and conditions have been standardised so that you are not signing up to different terms each time you apply for a job. To create your iProfile simply click on the web link above - it may take an hour or so to do but you will probably find it time well spent.
