TalkingCV will reduce recruitment costs while helping to save the planet

Time is the most precious resource we have. With hours wasted by managers and personnel staff interviewing inappropriate candidates Recruiters need to find a way to screen local, national or international applicants effectively and cost-efficiently.

The Government is asking all companies to reduce their carbon footprint to help save our planet. What can be done? Take the recruitment process: consider the amount of time, money and energy wasted in the search of the ìperfectî applicant. Round one interviews, round two interviews, the shortlist, sometimes even a full panel interview requiring the juggling of multiple diaries and then - the applicant doesnít turn up! What a waste! Not to mention Graduate Recruitment Fairs, Open Days, or even the inappropriate temp that turns up for Reception duties.

What does all this cost the Recruiter in man hours, expenses, time away from desk not to mention travel costs?

There is a new product on the market that can help reduce these processes.

TalkingCV is a revolutionary 3-dimensional personal profile that provides all candidates with an equal opportunity through the standardised interview process. Consisting of video, audio and text simultaneously, the Recruiter can screen local or international applicants and do away with time consuming first stage interviews. It enables Recruiters to profile candidates regardless of their location thus reducing costs. TalkingCV provides a ìsound biteî of what a person is really like. The paper CV states fluent French ñ ask them to demonstrate this? Good presentation skills ñ get them to prove it.

The Recruiter decides what questions to ask according to the vacancy and all candidates are given the same opportunity to answer them.

TalkingCV thereby provides decision makers with a clear picture of a candidateís personality, communication skills and other vital attributes. And, in the event of an unfair opportunity claim being made, TalkingCV will be invaluable, as the stored interview provides supporting evidence for the selection decision.
