MVM join Abraxas by becoming iProfile Compatible (07/12/06)

SkillsMarket, one of the UK’s fastest growing solution providers to the recruitment industry, is pleased to announce that MVM Recruitment, an IT recruitment subsidiary of the Vedior Group that provides flexible labour and HR solutions in 35 countries worldwide, has signed a contract to become iProfile Compatible and roll-out SkillsMarket’s award winning resourcing tool, iPlace.

The iProfile is the online CV that has been adopted by almost two million UK jobseekers, enabling them to define as well as update their skills, job preferences and availability easily so that recruiters can more accurately and speedily match them to jobs.

SkillsMarket has built a suite of solutions underpinned by the iProfile and the iProfileExchange that integrates with a recruitment company’s CRM database and job posting provider to enable them to benefit from cost effective data administration, up-to-date candidate information and faster short-listing.

Jim Whelan, Managing Director of MVM, commented: “We looked at a number of different solutions for our CV processing and resourcing needs but SkillsMarket’s solutions proved to be the best option. In contrast to other software providers, SkillsMarket provided a package of products and services aimed at helping our recruiters to resource faster and in today’s market speed is of the essence.”

Whelan added: “The fact that we had an insight into how SkillsMarket’s products and services were working for Abraxas helped to make our decision that much easier.”

Abraxas, another IT recruitment company within the Vedior Group, has been iProfile Compatible for over four years. In Recruiter’s recent Hot 100 report they were shown to generate the highest gross profit per employee.

Godfrey Morrell, Managing Director of Abraxas, commented: “After four years with SkillsMarket we have seen our CV processing capability improve dramatically in terms of productivity and efficiency, and therefore cost. Service improvements have been delivered by SkillsMarket to the point where Abraxas was comfortable in recommending SkillsMarket and its services to MVM.”

Rick Bacon, CEO of SkillsMarket commented: “We are delighted that another Vedior Group company has chosen to become a member of the iProfileExchange. MVM’s decision reflects the enhanced service levels we are providing Abraxas and our clients, coupled with the overall business benefits that our solutions will deliver to MVM. As candidates become harder to find more and more organisations are turning to our solutions, to deliver high levels of customer service and improve their profit conversion ratios through reduced costs and enhanced recruiter productivity.”
