www.cvsearch.co.uk was recently launched with plans to be the UK’s leading general recruitment website. The site was built with the aim to make the recruitment process as simple and easy as possible for recruiters, in partnership with its portal that stores the CVs of jobseekers.
In just over three weeks, the site has managed to attract over 150 recruitment companies, listing over 500 jobs.
The job seeking side of the site has also launched a marketing campaign to attract jobseekers to the site. Sam Rawson, Managing Director explained, “We’re not just going to blow our marketing budget on Google, we’re looking at all different avenues to bring candidates on board…we’ll have promotion teams visiting most of the UK’s major city centres doing some face to face marketing, and that is just the start of what we’ve got lined up.”
The site’s unique selling point, which they bill as their ‘secret weapon’ is the development of a system for candidates to verify elements of their CVs with an established background screening firm. Rawson explained the system, “The cost is fronted by the candidate, as it will help give worth to their CV. For example they can verify the university degree they achieved - this is then reflected on their CV, and will help them stand out from other applicants. The benefits to recruiters are that they can rely on information the candidate has verified, and do not have to incur costs doing it [a background check] themselves. We think this is a win-win situation in a candidate rich market.”
