Innovate CV
The CV and associated recruitment process has remained static for too many years, which has led to dissatisfaction amongst all involved; after all there is only so much a black and white ‘Word’ document can achieve.
Innovate CV, as the name suggests, brings creativity and innovation to the recruitment industry, turning the world of the paper CV (or the word document attachment) on its head, Innovate CV is making creating, editing, distributing and tracking a CV a simple and straightforward process.
Quite simply, Innovate CV is the future CV, and offers dynamic results to the candidate, the recruitment consultant and the employer.

Jerry Albright commented on Adam Lewis's blog post 'Fighting Ageism: How to Position a Mature-Aged Candidate'"I place old people all the time. No decision I make has anything to do with age.

Thanks for your comment. I suggest you re-read my article.

Valentino Martinez commented on Adam Lewis's blog post 'Fighting Ageism: How to Position a Mature-Aged Candidate'"Older workers = experience. Yes, some are: Good, Very Good, or not so Good—of course, all matter, but that is what the “fair” screening process should be (MUST BE) all about.

How many British people do you think are living overseas?
The answer is 5.5 million. And if you include those who regularly spend part of the year living abroad, we’re closing in on 6 million.
And the Institute for Public Policy Research, which supplied the statistics, is forecasting the number to steadily increase by the year.
