Resume service provider doesn’t provide reprieve?
IProfile, a UK based online CV management system is making its debut in Australia. Ten selected IT recruitment firms will have a two year monopoly on using the system, which seems a bit odd given the value of such a system lies in universal usage and acceptance. Surely, the more the participants the more successful it would be.
From where we sit, it is apparent that recruitment firms (the club of ten in this case) will be the main beneficiaries as the system is likely to reduce CV processing time and save money. From a candidate’s perspective, it can easily seems like yet another administrative burden to cope with – maintain an iProfile CV to work with ten selected recruiters and continue to polish your Word CV in order to work with the rest of the recruitment community. Having said that, iProfile does have impressive features. It has been fairly successful in the UK . We will give it a closer look when the product is launched in September.
Writing and updating a CV is one of the more unpleasant aspects of a job search. Any job seeker, given a choice, would have less of it. Any tool that is quick to create and update, is universally accepted by employers and recruiters alike, creates value for the user. On that note, professional networking sites like Linkedin are increasingly gaining relevance as a substitute for CV. When a new service like VisualCV aligned their strategy with Linkedin, you have an inkling of where the future is heading. Perhaps, in an increasingly networked world CVs as we know them will cease to exist. Seth has an interesting take.
Meanwhile, a new resume service Razume, which targets the 21-30 age group in their job search, brings network and community involvement in the resume creation process. Watch this space.
Welcome to nt3 Online – Australia & New Zealand’s Ultimate Headhunting Jobsite…..
A Free to Access Headhunting Jobsite for Everyone…it’s catching on fast!
nt3 Online PTY LTD is a new, innovative and highly motivated Australian-owned and operated Headhunting Jobsite and was founded in 2006 (Online 2007) by Andrew Turnbull & Tracey Roberts.
The nt3 site allows all employers and recruitment companies to register, post unlimited job ads and browse & search jobseeker profiles for free! Reducing the costs associated with continuous need to find fresh talent by a staggering amount…
Employers or Recruiters can then shortlist five jobseekers for a number of roles on a “Self Serve” basis, with nt3 charging $150 + GST for the contact details of the entire shortlist (All 5). For roles above $80K (Exec) the charge is $350 + GST (For all 5). As long as they fill their shortlist, employers or recruiters can choose 5 people from very different industry sectors and are not restricted by industry types, job types or locations.
Employers could send free messages to job seekers before shortlisting them, to make sure they were available, CEO Andrew Turnbull & Director Tracey Roberts said. This cuts down wasted time in approaching Job seekers and ensures Employers only pay to release the details of “Active & Available” candidates!
Turnbull said the model was designed to overcome some of the resistance that clients of the major job boards had about paying upfront for job ads or access services with no guarantees of a result.
Also the freedom in having completely free access to an online database is amazing, not to mention “Unlimited free Job postings” and getting to hand-pick only the Job Seekers that look relevant for the job vacancy is ingenious! There are no Joining costs or ongoing access fees to join http://www.nt3.com.au
Recruiters or Employers can add unlimited users to their Employer Account giving their whole recruitment team access to the system to post their own Job Ads and conduct their own searches, attached to their one single Employer account for easy management. Register you business account for free today and Go Headhunting!
Our vision is to build Australia & New Zealand’s largest online Job Seeker database and allow Employers & Recruiters free access in the hope of finding the right Job Seekers for their vacancies at a fraction of the current market rates!
