Why CVtrumpet?

There is an alternative to applying for one position at a time, or waiting to be found, and so you may want to read this carefully.

Find out how to save your time... increase your interview exposure... and gain access to the 70%+ of job openings that are never advertised anywhere

Studies show that searching for a new position typically takes between three and seven months. Searching for a new senior executive or management job takes even longer. Even with the introduction of the Internet, job searching still takes months.

All of the various job sites can all too easily become tedious and overwhelming. We thought that there must be an easier way for UK-based job seekers to connect with relevant executive recruiters and recruitment consultants, and so in February 2002 CVtrumpet was born.

From the beginning, we decided the focus would be on you, the candidate. All other online recruitment services were focused purely on the recruiter. To a large extent they still are.

Each job board looks to drive as many applications as it can to each job posting. While this may be great for the recruiter, it's time-consuming and extremely competitive for the candidate.

To give you the job search advantage, we reversed the traditional job searching model

Rather than apply for one position at a time, or forward your CV to one recruiter at a time, with CVtrumpet you register your CV just once and your CV is sent directly to multiple, targeted recruiters from an extensive network of 8,200+ approved, opted-in recruiters.

You also dramatically increase the number of potential jobs that are available to you

Up to 70% of jobs are never advertised - they comprise of what is known as the hidden job market.

To fill these, recruiters select candidates from their network. By using CVtrumpet to send your CV to potentially hundreds of targeted recruiters, you become one of the candidates who are considered for unadvertised jobs.

You also get to reach decision makers and connect directly as your CV goes to each recruiter's inbox rather than a database.

Your CV isn't put in a database waiting to be found.

Your CV isn't sent to one recruiter at a time or to just a few recruiters.

Instead, your CV is delivered straight to the inboxes (where it is seen) of usually hundreds of targeted recruiters.

Connect with the right recruiters

You connect with recruiters that specialise in the types of vacancies you want. Connect with recruiters who cover your industry, job function, your salary level (to £300k), job level, employment type and region.

Targeting means that recruiters only get highly relevant CVs from us. So when they get a referral from us, they know that it's going to be relevant to them. So they take our referrals seriously.

The CVtrumpet difference

CVtrumpet	Other Services
Provides recruiters with targeted CVs for free. Has built an extensive recruiter network over the last 8+ years. Extensive, targeted exposure for you.	Are tied to job boards and charge recruiters. Limited exposure for your CV.
Connect directly with multiple, targeted, recruiters.	Puts the CV into a database, where it will compete with around 100,000+ other CVs.

• You save time as your CV goes directly to the inbox of each matching recruiter from our network-- finding all of these recruiters yourself, and then sending your CV to them individually (as we do) would take weeks, months or longer.
• We only send very specific CVs to opt-in, approved recruiters -- so our recruiter network attracts and retains top executive recruiters and recruitment firms.
• CVtrumpet provides recruiters with specific CVs for free -- other services, including job boards, charge recruiters and so have fewer recruiters.
• You'll get an edge that no other service can provide -- CVtrumpet isn't limited to any recruiter association or job board. This enables us to maximise your exposure to targeted recruiters.
• CVtrumpet is the UK's first and most successful CV forwarding company -- so you know you're in experienced and safe hands.
• Your CV goes directly to each matching recruiter's inbox, rather than a database competing with 100,000's of others -- so your CV gets targeted exposure, rather than getting lost.
• Reach 100s of targeted recruiters in 3 minutes flat -- rather than 3 months.
• Recruiters are screened and approved by CVtrumpet -- so you know that your CV is being sent to top quality recruiters.
• You'll get the type of exposure to recruiters that would have taken you months before -- and it now only takes you 3 minutes.

The UK Job Searching Edge

We provide the executive job seeker the edge when it comes to connecting with the right recruiters.

Unlike other services, we are not tied to a particular recruiter association or job board and so the size of our recruiter network is not limited by the constraints that render other such services weak or ineffective.

An Extensive UK Recruitment Network

Unlike other services we do not charge recruiters; this helps us to build, and retain our extensive recruiter network.

Unlike other services, we provide recruiters with only very specific candidates based on salary level, job level, job function (100+), employment type industry/sector (50+) and location.

By only sending recruiters specific candidates that meet their needs, our network attracts and retains top executive recruiters and executive recruitment firms.

We are on the phone to recruiters every business day and have been for over 7 years.

We have built an extensive recruiter network across the UK and you can now tap into that network in just 3 minutes or less.

Tap into our Extensive Recruiter Network in Just Minutes

All recruiters have already joined us and they have selected a very specific profile of the type of candidates that they are looking for.

All recruiters are approved by us and each recruiter has invited us to send your CV to them.

We only send each recruiter highly targeted and relevant CVs, so each CV sent from CVtrumpet is of value to each recruiter receiving it.

How it Works

Our specific matching system ensures that your CV goes straight to the right recruiters

Your CV for example would be sent to recruiters covering your industry, your job function, your salary level, your job level (MD, Director, Manager, Employee etc.) and your preferred location(s).

In essence we get your CV into the inboxes of multiple, targeted UK recruiters, which guarantees you plentiful exposure.

Other methods, such as putting your CV into a CV database means that you are competing with thousands of other CVs. With CVtrumpet, recruiters in your field are invited to compete for you.

CVtrumpet enables you to target recruiters very precisely. You can choose recruiters based on the following CVtrumpet recruiter filters:

Employment Type	Choose from Permanent, Interim, Contract or Temporary
Employment Level	MD, Director, Manager, Employee
Job Function	Choose from over 100 job functions
Industry	Choose from over 50 industries
Salary Level	Choose from 7 salary levels (£15k to £300k)
Geographical Area	Go national, regional or your county
