What is an iProfile CV?

The iProfile CV is the dynamic career profile that is rapidly replacing the traditional CV. It’s a new tool that allows candidates to own, manage and maintain their CV from a single, secure online source.

Candidates have control over who has access to view their details.

Why has my personal information been put on the web?

Your personal information has not been put on the web. Your information is held in a safe and secure database. We have provided you with an online portal that will allow you to have access to, and be able to control and manage your information. It’s safer than a traditional CV.

It’s a little bit like Internet Banking for your CV. Only you can access it, and you control who can view it.

• It’s FREE
