JobJock - Iprofile filter?

Evil Iprofile.

Just go and delete all the info they hold on you in there like I just did ! If everyone did it would certainly let a few tyres down.

Then use Jobjock to ensure that you dont have to look at iProfile agency postings

Quick suggestion cos it caught me out and had me scratching my head for a minute.

In the search box allow hitting the enter key to trigger the search in the same way as Google and other search options do. At the moment it doesnt but does appear to reload the page which makes it look like it doesnt work right... Untill you hit the button underneath anyway and then it does what was expected.

I shall keep this in mind Mr B.

Thanks for the heads up.

Ill make the change when Im sitting down to the next batch.

Hi All.

I am a recruiter for one of the mentioned companies who are using the iProfile system.

Being from the old school of recruitment, I must admit that the thought of a programme that did 75% of the leg work for you, sounded good, leaving more time to get more jobs and find more candidates..............

Oh how I came crashing back down to earth.

The system itself, in theory, is actually a great idea for all parties, as candidates can keep an up to date profile online that gets registered with several agencies, and seeing as advertising medium replies seem to be getting more inundated with candidates that cannot do the job or work in the country involved it is a good way for agents to search on what the candidates say they can do (Dont forget most of us are non-technical people and the so called specialists within vertical markets are good at dropping in "buzz words" every now and again.

However the software that runs the system is horrific and that is the be all and end all of it. (If there is a recruiter out there who can honestly put their hands up and champion the software then I will be dumb founded)

After working for this company and making hundreds of placements, I can with hand on heart state that I have never found/interviewed/placed any of them through the iProfile system.

Many thanks for you input Mr Dutchrecruiter.

Welcome to the CUK board. You find the place quietly addictive and may even find like-minded agents on here.

You may occasionally have to fight your corner and get used to pimp references, but apart from that you'll be fine!
