Extensive CV Database

This week this platform has announced that their CV database has reached 10 million active CVs. This makes it the largest database with the highest number of registered job seekers in the UK.

· Job seekers

The popularity of their database among the job seekers can be explained by its easy to use platform and their online approach. This means candidates can upload their CVs and then have it distributed to employers without needing to do anything further. The candidates can be contacted about a job opening and invited for a job interview without even applying for it.

· Recruiters

The job’s site’s CV database is very popular among leading recruitment agencies and in-house recruiters. By using this database they are ensured that they are provided with maximum choice for finding the perfect candidate.

Constant growth

When CV-Library reached its previous milestone its managing director commented:

“Through our persistent growth and new and innovative ways to develop our services, we aim to continue supporting the recruitment process and providing recruiters and job hunters with the assistance they need.”

The website that has already been crowned as the UK’s best job board is constantly working on improvements and on keeping up-to-date with the technology trends.

“One of the biggest challenges we face on an ongoing basis is ensuring we’re always the first in our industry to keep pace with advances in technology. We were successfully the first UK job board to have a mobile-ready site and a mobile app, but keeping up with the advancements in today’s on-demand world definitely adds pressure. As a result, we invest heavily in our IT department so that this can be prioritised without additional strain”    via TalkBusinessMagazine

In our opinion, CV-Library reaching 10 million CVs in the database is an amazing achievement and proof that job boards are not going stale.
