iProfile is the creator of the dynamic profile for professionals, which is changing the face of the recruitment market by unleashing the potential of both jobseekers and recruiters. For recruiters it means making more placements, faster, and for candidates it means more control and feedback when job seeking. The company works with recruitment companies, recruitment software suppliers and job boards to simplify the recruitment process by establishing the iProfile as the industry standard format for online CVs. Alongside the iProfile the company has created a service called iPlace, that helps recruiters unleash the potential of their candidate asset base - by keeping their database updated automatically and enabling them to search for and place relevant candidates quickly, saving time and money. iProfile is the dynamic profile for professionals that is rapidly replacing the traditional CV. It is the preferred CV format for many recruitment agencies, and is easy to set up and update. More secure than a Word CV, clients can control who sees their iProfile, and they can update as many or as few recruitment agencies as they'd like at the touch of a button.
