All,

We have just updated our standby list registration procedure and the way our clients view CV profiles. Both of these features will be communicated to our clients in the next weeks or so.

Standby lists
----------------
You can now add your name to relevant standby lists directly. Once you have logged in, select the Update Details link then "my status record". Select the relevant list you wish to appear on. Details now appear live on both the SRS standby list and in your CV profile, if you have selected it to be viewed by clients.

CV Profiles
----------------
To further enhance this service to our clients we have integrated a "compare" feature. This new feature will allow clients to select specific fields from your profile and compare with other candidate that use the profile service. This will improve clients search ability in obtaining appropriate candidates for their vacant posts. With this in mind it is important that you ensure that your profile is up to date and relevant, also please ensure that spelling and formatting is appropriate (not all lower or upper case).

SRS Have your say
As many of you will know there are numerous new companies that have established themselves in the ex-forces marketplace.

From those offering resettlement training to those  who offer what seem s like  a ' to o good to be true ' opportunit y of work.

SRS regularly receive request s f rom registered users asking for recommendations or advice on particular courses or companies.

With this in mind , and knowing the only way the SRS team can really improve its services , is to receive your feedback and views on our own service and that of others.

A new 'Have Your Say' feature has been introduced to the SRS website. It is an idea promoting the fact we are keen to hear you r experiences regarding employers, agencies, resettlement training and general news stories. We know that our users have strong views about all manner of subjects, so now is your chance to have your say and make the SRS team aware of issues that matter to you.

SRS CV Profile Service Launched .
A number of our clients have expressed an interest in being able to  see brief CV profiles of SRS  candidates .  

The new SRS CV Profile service was launched a few weeks ago and is already proving to be popular with clients and candidates alike.

What is the SRS CV Profile Service about?

The SRS CV Profile Service is a service where SRS clients are able to quickly see CV profiles of selected registered users. Clients can view the profiles and select which candidate they would like to receive a full CV for, and potentially call forward for interview.

The SRS CV Profile Service is an excellent method for clients to proactively source suitable candidates for their vacancies. Instead of posting their jobs and waiting on the response, clients are able to take advantage of the many hundreds of CV's posted by SRS candidates actively seeking new opportunities.
