Sending your CV to Recruiters
Tick the recruiters that you want to send your CV to (you will find this directly under the company name.) When you have made your selection, click ‘Send my CV to selected companies’ button at the end of each page. This will send your stored CV individually to each of the selected recruiters and you will also receive a copy of the email to enable you to keep a record of where it has been sent. If there is more than one email address listed for a recruiter, your CV will be sent to all of the email addresses
Expand Info
Clicking on the Expand Info button will show you the full contact details, the kind of company they are, the disciplines, industries and geographical areas that they recruit for. You can also use the email and web address to contact recruiters direct.
Search Tips
You can search by Keyword, Industry, Region and Country to target recruiters that match your areas of expertise, then mail the results with your CV. However, please note that if you make selections from all of these fields you will narrow the number of returned companies. There are 15 results to a page and you can either use page navigation at the bottom of the page, or the 0-9 or A-Z bar at the top of the results page.
Keyword Search
This looks for the keywords that recruiters have used in either the Disciplines they recruit for, or in their Company Profile. Selecting "Any" will return recruiters where at least one of these keywords are mentioned in either Disciplines or Company Profiles. For example using the keywords 'Information Technology' and selecting “Any” will return results with either of these two words, not necessarily together. Selecting "All" will only show recruiters where all of your keywords are present.
Keywords
Keywords need to be separated with a space, and it is not case sensitive. Using keywords, such as IT, will also bring up words where this is contained, e.g. Architect.
Industry, Country & Region Search
To broaden your choice you can select one or more of these by holding down the control key.
Search All
To see all recruiters, just click ‘Search’ without making any selections and leaving Keywords empty. You can also use the 0-9 and A-Z bar at the top of the search page, if you want to find a particular company.
