We decided to give employers a better deal in searching for the staff they need.

It is free to register, free to search and free to communicate.

Registration takes you to your personal Home Page which is the heart of the CVSeen.com system.

Your can perform a simple 4 step search where you nominate the Employment Type, Years of Experience, Job Category and Location.

Hit the search button and a list of candidates will appear that match your search criteria. No waiting for replies from consultants or middlemen.

Candidates details can appear in 3 different forms:

INPUTTED CV: Is where the information has been typed into the CVSeen.com system by the candidate and nominated as public or anonymous. If the information is public you can view it immediately. If it is anonymous you will see the qualifications and work history, but not the personal details, referees, or current employer. If you want this information you can request it from the candidate.

UPLOADED CV: This CV will be in PDF form and will contain all the information in the candidates personal format. This may also be anonymous or public. If anonymous you must request the candidate to release it to you. Remember this candidate appears on your list because he or she matches your search criteria.

BOTH: A candidate may choose to input a certain amount of information and also upload their personal PDF. In this case he or she is choosing to maximize the amount of information you can see and the same rules apply.

No matter what type of CV is entered, you are free to email any candidate via the CVSeen.com communications interface. Ask questions, arrange an interview, the choice is yours.

Each search can be saved for future reference and separate short lists can be created for each position you wish to fill.

All of this for free. You can't get more cost effective than that!

CVseen.com works for jobseekers in new and revolutionary ways by allowing you, for the small investment of $NZ10.00, to advertise yourself and your skills directly to employers, rather than employers advertising for you.

You can either INPUT your CV or UPLOAD your CV in PDF form, taking care to fill in the core search criteria of: Position Sought, Job Category (you can select more than one if you choose) and Location (again you can select more than one).

We recommend you input a strong personal statement so employers are attracted to you. All CV's are automatically set to anonymous. It is your choice if you want your CV to be public.

When ready ACTIVATE your CV which makes it live and searchable.

If you choose to INPUT YOUR CV and set it to ANONYMOUS, an employer will NOT see your Personal Details, Current Employer, or Referees, but will see the rest of the details you input.

The UPLOAD YOUR CV OPTION is designed to allow you to present information the way you want it. A search will show an employer that you have a PDF CV uploaded and if set to anonymous he/she must ask you to release before it can be seen.

Unlike other sites this gives you total control over who and when someone sees your CV. It is also possible for you to input a small amount of information for an employer to read e.g. Qualifications and have your comprehensive PDF CV available on request.

Once your CV is active any employer registered with CVSeen.com can perform a simple 4 step search that will produce a list of candidates. If you are on that list then the employer can contact you direct via email using the CVSeen.com interface.

You can then choose whether to ask the employer more questions, or simply go ahead and release your information. It is your decision.

Remember we have made it free for employers to search for you thereby removing the barrier of cost and allowing you to be found.
