Innovate CV, a global interactive CV platform, has launched today [1 March 2010].

The next generation online CV platform will allow candidates to create an online CV that includes work samples, charts and graphs, audio, video and other images. Innovate CV is focused on building relationships with recruitment agencies through a straightforward integration that includes a re-branded agency portal.

A company statement said the platform is designed to radically improve how CVs are presented and managed. “It is intended to provide recruitment professionals and candidates alike with a fast, efficient and secure way of creating, editing, distributing, validating and tracking a CV.”

Innovate CV also hopes to speed up the time-consuming process of reference checking.

Founder Daniel Lyons said: “In all our discussions with employers, one thing has come through loud and clear: the process of background checking needs to be made much easier than it is today…our platform allows employers to get a much more comprehensive view of a professional with validated credentials.”
