Data Protection - With 3 ½ million users isn't it time you used iProfile?
Isn't about time we all did something about the data protection issues surrounding Social Networking sites? The discussion is rife in the market place at the moment, but the fear is losing the volume and quality of contacts that have been so easily built up online. The good news is there is a solution, and 3½ million users in the UK already have an iProfile. LinkedIn have just announced that they have 4million users in the UK, so we are not far off.
The iProfile takes care of all the data protection legalities covering making contacts through Social Networking sites, yet uses the online features which have come to be expected by your candidates. The connection from the candidate is with the recruitment agency, not the consultant, yet the dashboard gives the candidate easy to view updates on the activity on their iProfile. This is not available for general viewing, and is only available to recruiters with whom the candidate has previously made contact. The iProfile helps agencies become more compliant with data protection.

The candidates love it as they can control their iProfile, updating it with availability and experience, yet it makes genuine commercial sense to recruitment agencies, freeing up time and investment by making your database work harder, yet remaining within the clear legalities of data protection law. Before you buy we can compare the number of candidates on your database who already have iProfiles, then see which have updated their iProfile more recently than your database.
Searches are easy, and you don't have to pay per download of an iProfile. This reduces duplication of costs (ie you pay to download a CV which you already have), and increases efficiencies.
The best way to see if the iProfile solution is going to be suitable for you would be to have a data comparison, and demonstration. Using a segment of your database, we can identify how many candidates already have an iProfile, and how many of those are more up to date on the iProfile than they are on your database. We can then demonstrate the iProfile solution and how it works specifically for recruitment agencies. For more information contact us on 020 7025 0555 or email sales(at)iprofile.org.
