This campaign is very innovative as people need to send their Video CV. More importantly to us, all the recruitment process is being driven by Jobsket and one of our customers, the recruitment agency Tau Consulting. And obviously, having a Jobsket CV is necessary to participate!

Estábamos un poco hartos de ver que todas las listas de CVs y plantillas y todo esto siempre vienen del extranjero. Así que nos hemos puesto manos a la obra y hemos contactado con esas personas que tienen currículums que nos han parecido realmente y todos nos han dado permiso muy amáblemente para que os enseñemos su trabajo. A ver que os parecen:

- gldg

Gerald es un creativo que nos muestra su historia en forma de originales viñetas. Tan originales que Jobsket cree que el CV está en islandés

- fatuarte

Fátima Fatuarte es una creativa con un currículum que se escapa de lo tradicional. En lugar de utilizar el formato clásico de una o dos hojas ha creado una presentación de 22 páginas con su historia y portafolio. En nuestro visor no se ve muy bien, pero si le hacéis zoom o lo descargáis podéis ver los detalles.

- rigualv

Rafael Igual es un informático y MBA que ha utilizado también el formato presentación, aunque en forma de pergamino. Muy original. (Nota: Este CV es muy grande y a veces da una advertencia al cargar. Pulsando Ignorar continuará la carga.)

- norhild

Marcelino es un programador de videojuegos al que nadie llamaba cuando les enviaba su currículum en formato EuroPass. Lo cambió a lo que veis y comenzó a recibir llamadas. Muy original.

- noemolcas

Noelia, diseñadora y publicista se decanta por un CV más tradicional. Aún así, la aplicación de colores vistosos y la perfecta integración de la foto hacen que quede realmente bonito.

- santyjazz

Santiago Molina es un diseñador gráfico que ha optado por el color y el texto diagonal.

- mvigara

Marta, una ejecutiva de marketing, utiliza un formato colorido a la vez que sencillo. También aprovecha el visor de Jobsket para ocultar sus datos personales lo cual siempre agrademos.

- odibazo

Odi, una diseñadora de Barcelona, utiliza una cabecera llamativa y una sencilla nube de tags para capturar la atención.

- christianmadrid

Christian es un ingeniero técnico que nos cuenta que adaptó su CV en base a otro que le impactó. El estilo es similar al de santyjazz. Nuestro OCR tampoco se lleva bien con él.

- albertterre

Albert, diseñador gráfico, nos muestra un CV muy simplista y chillón. Desde luego, llama la atención.

Esto es todo. Ojalá os hayan gustado los currículums y esperamos traeros muchos más en el futuro. Si tenéis un currículum recordad que lo podeís subir a Jobsket en segundos, sin formularios y automáticamente recibiréis ofertas de trabajo que se ajustan a vuestro perfil, además de poder promocionarlo en redes sociales, vuestra web o blog. También lo podéis importar desde Linkedin. Fin de la cuña publicitaria

We’ve been quite busy improving Jobsket. Unfortunately, most of the changes are not visible unless you are a company: Resume auto updating for CVs that come through our white label channel, tags searching, Excel data exports, email templating and much more. You can view some of these enterprise features at our tour page and also from our Enterprise Brochure. We are getting awesome feedback about our enterprise product which is very nice!

We’ve also been on a few events. We’ve been at the IV Feria de Tiendas Virtuales in Huesca, Salon MiEmpresa in Madrid where we met the ReadWriteWeb Spain team which wrote about us a few days ago and at the Barcelona Seedcamp; at this event we got very good feedback about Jobsket. You know, HR and CVs is a very boring field. So, it’s difficult to catch the eye of investors and Internet people, but there was a lot of people very excited about our project and that thought that could be a great disruption in the market.

Finally, today as you may already noticed we’ve announced a couple of new user features at our newsletter. First we support CV updates (many people asked for it), so instead of deleting and creating a new one you can now update your files without losing any data. And more importantly there is cover letters support. Our customers asked for that and now you can also create your own cover letters that will be only visible by recruiters.

There is many more exciting things to come. Stay tuned!

Some paparazzi caught us live doing a presentation about Jobsket and he posted the picture at the Internet.

We will call our lawyers shortly. This cannot happen again

On a more serious note. Picture was taken at Spring 2GX Madrid. An event to which we were kindly invited and that we quite enjoyed.

Jobsket offers several widgets and help to companies like EGA Consultores that wish to improve their recruitment processes through their website. The integration process with EGA has been seamless and the website keeps the original layout without anyone noticing that Jobsket is in the background apart from a tiny advertisement message:

If anyone is interested in improving their processes, managing many more candidate applications and removing data entry completely from their recruitment chain, just contact us.

We keep working hard and today we have deployed a new and exciting version of our software. As you may already have seen we have slightly changed the format of our home page:

This is to accomodate the job offers from companies that are starting to use Jobsket as their recruitment platform. To further help these companies we have added OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software. What does it mean? Well, imagine that you are a recruitment agency. During several years you may end up storing hundreds or thousands of hand-given resumes or just PDF files that have been scanned. These files are just images, and it is impossible to extract anything from them unless you do OCR. So we’ve added this ability to our offer. So now you can upload your CVs and we will take care of OCRing them for you. Pretty cool if you have a big database of scanned CVs.

Another new feature at Jobsket is the support for job positions without any salary. Until now at Jobsket all the positions you could find did have a salary. We thought this was the best for our users, but the reality is that many companies do not publish salaries in their job offers. So we ended up sending you very few recommendations and skipping some job offers that could be of interest to you, even though they didn’t have a salary. So now we will be delivering 0 salary positions within our job alerts. But do not worry you will be able opt out of this feature.

There is many other features, specially for companies that we will not address in this post but in next posts. We really hope you like the work we are doing at Jobsket!

Thanks!

From now on, companies can sign up to Jobsket to take full advantage of our platform. Companies can publish job offers, they also will get a personal storage space to which they can upload their CVs and have them classified, estimated, they can put comments, etc. In summary, companies can manage the whole recruitment workflow from a single place and in a very efficient but simple manner. If you have got a business and you are thinking on saving costs and increase efficiency then you should have a look to our feature tour and check out our competitive prices.

We have also published an user features tour so you can find out all the stuff you can do with Jobsket. There is a few new important features for users in this release, like the ability to search for job offers, to apply to job offers or to manage all your applications. By the way, if you are really worried about privacy, then you will be happy to know that it is now possible to disable other users from downloading or printing your CV. You can change these settings from your CV settings page.

This release is very important for us and we have already started to get companies on board publishing their job offers. We really hope you like all these new features as much as we do.

Enjoy!

We are sending this email to inform you that we just have launched a new videos section for the first time. At this section we will publish tutorials showing how to take the most advantage of Jobsket.

Just today we have published a new video on how to put your CV into your web page, your blog and even on your Facebook or Twitter. This can be really useful if you want to promote your CV.

We’d also like to encourage you to keep all your personal information private when publishing your CV anywhere. Few weeks ago we released a video tutorial showing how to hide all your personal information using the Jobsket viewer. Don’t forget to have a look at it.

We love to read your comments so if you have any suggestions just contact us at any time or just write something on this blog entry.
