Graduate recruitment is essential for all organisations and each year there is a battle to attract and capture the best graduate talent.
Graduate recruitment can be a nightmare for most HR functions. From experience it is quite difficult to differentiate between graduates based on paper CV’s. They all have Degrees and their CV’s all look the same. Ok – you can argue that there are differentiations in the type of qualification and grade BUT you must agree that the best qualified graduates do not always make the best employees. Think back to a time when you read a great graduate CV only to very be let down when you called that graduate for interview.
There may be a solution to this graduate recruitment problem. A solution that will also help save time, money and resources in your battle to get the cream of graduate talent.
A new revolutionary website www.cvizz.com has just been launched. CVizz is a videoCV hosting service which allows registered employers to search a pre-screened database of graduate videoCV’s.
Some of the benefits for Graduate Recruitment programs:
A living CV – paper CV’s are one dimensional and tell you nothing about the person.
Time saving – less time spent planning, organising and interviewing.
Cost savings – Reduced spend in graduate recruitment.
Public Image – Using this advance technology will impress graduates and make them pick you.

Wow, hrandrecruitment, I’m impressed with your ‘on the ball’ response.
We’ve only just gone live less than a week and you’ve picked up on CVizz. VideoCV’s have been used for the last few years mostly in the US, Canada, Australia, the Pacific rim and more recently in the UK. This is a first for Ireland.
When we looked at this project in 2006 the main issue for delivery was around bandwidth availability and thanks to improvements in this area and blogs like this, Ireland is now embracing the burst of niche online recruitment services previously outside our reach.
CVizz is about VideoCV hosting for Graduate & Intern recruitment, it’s allows employers to access our searchable database and view candidates before contacting them. But there are a myriad of other online HR & Recruitment Services which will make recruitment more expedient, cost effective and satisfying for employers and candidates.
Getting the right online service for your requirements is crucial. Blogs such as this, with a keen eye on what’s happening, as it happens, are in a powerful position to help that forward progression. Nice one guys!
You are welcome Marie – good luck with the new site.
