A genuine alternative to finance recruitment agencies

CVMarket.co.uk provides a database of finance and accountancy candidates which employers can use to search for personnel that match their requirements. There are no registration fees and no charges for searching the database. Employers only pay for candidates whose search profiles meet their requirements and, even then, only pay if the candidates agree to release their personal details.

So what does it cost? Employers will only be charged 10 for each CV and Contact details they purchase. If the employer has made a successful search then expensive advertising costs and recruitment agency fees could be avoided. The website is offering a discounted price of only 5 per CV for the month of April!

So How does the process work:

cvmarket.co.uk utilises the internet to provide a new concept in online recruitment for finance staff. The site provides a database of finance candidates which employers can search on free of charge. The process is designed to ensure candidates confidentiality is protected at all times with personal details released only with their specific permission following an approach by an employer.

Candidates register free of charge. They log their personal details and CVís, but, no-one else can access these details without that candidates specific permission. Candidates also answer a series of questions to create a search profile which employers can search on to identify potential candidates. For example the employer may search for candidates with a specific qualification, a foreign language, experience within a particular industry sector, knowledge of a particular IT system or one of several other key criteria. If an employer wants to view a candidateís personal details that candidate will receive an email asking for permission to release their details.

What does it cost if the employer finds suitable candidate profiles? The employer gets to submit a job advertisement directly to these candidates for free. If these candidates are interested in the role and give their consent to release their personal contact details and full CV to the employer, then the employer will be charged the minimal fee of only 10 per CV. After that it is up to the employer to contact these candidates and organise their own interviewing and assessment process. There will be no further charge from cvmarket.co.uk.

What if the employer can find nobody to match their requirements? A failed search will have cost the employer nothing in monetary terms and will only have taken up a few minutes of time. So the employer has nothing to lose. They can then go down either the advertising or recruitment agency route.

The candidates on cvmarket.co.uk are the same candidates that are registered with recruitment agencies and that respond to press or internet advertisements. So employers who are successful in finding candidates via cvmarket.co.uk will have saved their businesses significant recruitment or advertising fees and will have filled their vacancy with as good a quality candidate as they would have done by following the more traditional route.
