SkillsMarket short-listed for Onrec's Best Technical Innovation Award

January 1, 2006

We're pleased to announce that SkillsMarket has been shortlisted for Onrec's "Best Technical Innovation in Online Recruitment" award for the iProfile.

In a market that is becoming increasingly candidate driven, SkillsMarket was short-listed for this award because it is the only company that converts a recruitment company’s CV database into an asset by making the information held within it more accurate and up-to-date. SkillsMarket has achieved this through the creation of the jobseeker’s online CV - the iProfile.

Almost 2 million candidates now own an iProfile and it provides them with a simple way to verify and keep the information that recruitment companies use to match them to jobs up-to-date. It also enables them to define their skills, work history and job preferences in more detail so that consultants can more accurately and speedily match them to jobs.

Rick Bacon, CEO of SkillsMarket, commented: "We are delighted to have been short-listed for this award, especially as it recognises the hard work that has gone into establishing the iProfile as the jobseeker's online CV and the benefits it has created for the recruitment industry as a whole. Most importantly, it is enabling recruitment companies to find the best candidates in half the time and providing jobseekers with a secure place to store their online CV in a format that helps them to find work more quickly."

This is Onrec's 3rd Annual Onrec Awards to acknowledge the hard work of companies and individuals in the online recruitment industry. The results will be announced for this award at Onrec’s black tie ceremony on 7th March. We will keep you posted!
