Q. What will you be talking about at the show- have you any new products or services that will be launched?

A. Weíre working on Version 4 of AdCourier right now so by the time of the show weíll be releasing some information about and may give a sneak preview. The Enterprise Edition (for direct employers and ad agencies) has really taken off this year so weíll also be showcasing that.

Q. What would you like to say to people who will be attending, or who are unable to attend?

A. Well, weíre on Stand 1 again so thereís no excuse not to stop by. Iíd urge those people attending the conference to have a wander round the exhibition during the breaks. I know a lot of people went straight in and straight out last year and thereís a lot of great companies exhibiting. Unlike most shows the atmosphere at Onrec is very relaxed. You donít need to panic if you make eye contact with someone on a stand! If youíre not going but like the look of some of the firms on show itís still worth getting in touch. Weíre all Internet companies so call and request an online demo, it wonít cost you anything and youíll be impressed with the quality of technology around.

Q. What will you be looking forward to most at the Onrec Conference & Expo?

A. Personally, Iím really looking forward to the panel. Thereís some high profile names taking part and Iím sure there will be some particularly interesting debate. Itís definitely one to watch.

TalkingCV is a revolutionary new way to reduce the time lost with first round interviews. It consists of Video, Audio and Text files that will quickly highlight a candidateís basic skills and personality. You determine the interview questions and then an automated email invites the candidate to undertake their interview. The candidate will logon to your website from any Internet-enabled PC with Webcam and enter their unique reference code. The system will then take them through the interview process asking the questions you previously defined. Once completed, you will receive an email with the URL for the candidateís personalised TalkingCV. If you have a Recruitment Management System the URL can be attached to the candidate profile for later reference. In support of the new product launch they are offering a free trial for any new customers signed up by the end of June 2007.
