CV-Library.co.uk has just announced the launch of its new iPhone application for candidates. The application is available now from the iTunes store, and allows job seekers to download the app for free and search CV-Library’s UK-wide vacancies via their iPhone. The free application also allows users to save searches, apply to jobs or email jobs to either themselves or a friend.

By releasing this iPhone application, CV-Library are joining leading job sites Monster and Total jobs as being the first job boards to launch an iPhone recruitment application. These sites have seen an increase in traffic from iPhones month on month, and CV-Library hope to see this success repeated in 2010.

Lee Biggins, Managing Director of CV-Library comments: “We are very excited to have launched our iPhone application to allow candidates to search and apply for jobs on the move. In a time where nearly everyone has a smartphone and is connected to mobile internet, making
CV-Library mobile was the next logical step. By taking advantage of the increase in mobile users and this ideal branding opportunity, CV-Library is proud to be leading the way with mobile recruitment technology.”

As more and more people are using smartphones, and finding themselves with increasingly busy lives, iPhone recruitment applications are a perfect solution. These applications allow users to use the internet on the go, which could be an indication of the direction in which the recruitment industry is heading. With the launch of the iPad, CV-Library is keen to bring mobile job search to more users than ever. 

To search job vacancies on CV-Library via your iPhone, download the app for free from the iTunes app store.

The first ever CV Registration audit in the UK industry has been undertaken by leading UK independent job site CV-Library. 

CV-Library believes it is one of the fastest growing job sites in the UK with regards to CV Registrations per month and hence chose to ask ABCe to verify, by way of independent audit, its CV Registrations.

CV-Library’s figures for October 2009 (143,958 CV Registrations and 108,251 unique CV registrations*) compare favourably to un-audited figures published by other successful job boards in the industry such as Reed, TotalJobs and Jobsite. The un-audited figures from these job sites range from 54,000 to 100,000 Unique CV registrations per month. 

When making the decision of what job site to use, unique CV registrations are becoming more important than simply Unique Users alone to recruiters.  CV-Library has set the standard for this new metric of total CV Registrations, and is working closely with ABCe to help develop a further transparent metric of Unique CV Registrations. 

Director Lee Biggins comments: “It has been a ground breaking couple of years for CV-Library and we’ve achieved a number of landmarks, including hitting two million CVs last month and with the ABCe results this October. Part of our success is down to the exclusive relationships we have built with our traffic partners and affiliates, and we are also looking forward to celebrating our exciting 10 year anniversary next year.”

ABCe comments: “CV-Library are the first job board registered with ABCe to audit the recently approved new metrics “CV Details Page Impressions” & “CV Registrations” helping lead the recruitment sector towards greater transparency and more relevant metrics.”

Richard Foan, Managing Director of ABCe comments “It is highly encouraging that CV-Library is delivering both comparability and transparency by committing to having its site traffic figures independently verified to industry agreed standards. CV-Library is helping set new standards for the industry.”

*Publishers Statement

CV-Library, one of the UK’s fastest growing job sites, has announced that it now has a remarkable two million live CVs registered in its online database. 

After hitting one million CVs in October 2008, CV-Library has managed to double this figure in only a year, growing from a two man office into a Hitwise Top 10 recognised site.

This is particularly impressive considering it hasn’t had any corporate backing like many of its competitors, but has achieved organic growth.  With 100,000 CV registrations and 379,000 job applications per month, CV-Library is extremely proud of its rapid growth.

Director Lee Biggins comments “CV-Library is proud to hit two million CVs, but it is not only the size of the database that is important, it is the phenomenal rate we are registering candidates on a daily basis.”

Despite the recent downturn, the company is emerging more successful than ever.  CV-Library is in the process of expanding and is also planning on recruiting more team members in the coming months.  Although they have a relatively small workforce of 20 staff, the company is competing heavily with job boards in excess of 100 employees.  This expansion is a positive sign given the current market. This also highlights that many recruiters are still choosing to predominantly recruit from online databases rather than source candidates from other forms of media, particularly social media.

The company has been nominated for a customer service award at the 2009 London and South East Recruitment Awards and has also been nominated as Best Generalist Job Board in the National Online Recruitment Awards (NORAs) 2009.

Launch of recruitersite.co.uk will negate the need for job board contracts

A brand new online recruitment advertising offering allowing recruiters to multipost to leading job boards on a ‘pay as you go’ basis has been launched to address what the founders call “a double standard where many of the online tools and resources have simply been out of reach of the independent sme recruiter”.

Recruitersite.co.uk, which will be exclusive to recruitment industry professionals, will negate the need for contracts with individual job boards and allow recruitment consultancies to post a job onto six different job boards for as little as £69.00

The site is the brainchild of recruitment industry professionals Scott Taylor and Mark Jones, who, with over three decades of experience behind them felt that it was time to ensure that smaller recruiters had the chance to compete with their larger rivals on a level playing field.

With recruitersite, agencies can multipost to one of three packages and simply pay on line with a credit card or PayPal account. “Unlike multipost tools such as Broadbean, our site does not require recruiters to have job board contracts in place”, says Taylor and so for the smaller independent recruiter it really is a no brainer”.

“The packages are designed to cover every type of industry”, adds Taylor. “Our basic package, which is ideal for generalist vacancies posts to Reed, Fish4jobs; Workhound; CVLibrary and 1Job as well as being added to recruitersite.co.uk’s own job board.  Then there is the standard package which includes all the basic sites but the vacancy will also be smart matched into the UK’s largest niche network, Hotonline. Additionally it will be geographically matched into the jobseverywhere network where it will not only appear in the relevant geographical job board but also in the local print media.  And then finally, the professional package with all of the elements of the standard package but also an additional premium niche site.”

“The SME recruitment market is huge” says Taylor. “Our research, undertaken over the last 14 months, has told us that many smaller agencies would like to use on line job boards but found the costs and resources needed too prohibitive as they had no volume buying power. Recruitersite.co.uk is set to change all that.”
