Witan Jardine, one of the most highly respected accountancy recruitment consultancies, have just announced that they are taking another lead on their rivals by adopting the iProfile. Witan Jardine pride themselves on building long-term relationships with their candidates and with the iProfile they will make the application process even simpler so that their consultants can spend more time with more candidates.

The iProfile is the industry standard format for ìthe online CVî that allows candidates to easily define and update their skills, experience, availability and job preferences for agencies. In the IT sector alone, the iProfileís adoption has been described as ìphenomenalî with 50% of the UKís top 20 agencies now compatible and over 850,000 candidates owning one. Its success is already being replicated across other industry sectors too, including Travel, Hospitality and HR.

Listening to candidateís needs is something that Witan Jardine seeks to do at every opportunity and by becoming iProfile Compatible, they will reduce the amount of administration as well as time involved in the candidate registration process thereby ensuring that their consultants spend more time with candidates providing career advice. No sooner does Witan Jardine receive a CV than an iProfile is built for the candidate to then verify and add to online. Candidates are provided with an online facility to keep Witanís consultants advised with every update. As a result, Witan Jardineís consultants will have the best quality database in the accountancy recruitment industry.

Stephen Perrin, Finance Director of Witan Jardine, explained: As the first recruitment company in the accountancy sector to adopt the iProfile, we are confident that it will give us a competitive edge. Our focus is to sustain and build on our long-term relationships with our customers and we believe the iProfile will help us to do this. By reducing the daily administrative tasks of our consultants, they will have even more time to spend on servicing our customers. The iProfile will also enhance the candidate’s experience of registering and keeping us up-to-date with their requirements. The industry has been in long need of a solution such as the iProfile.
