Perspectv distinguishes itself from conventional job boards and recruiters through several key features:

Personalised Matching: Instead of you wading through a sea of job listings, Perspectv takes the reins. Using the information in your profile, we curate job opportunities that align perfectly with your skills, experience, preferences, and even your personality. Consider us your personal job matchmaker!

Quality Emphasis: Traditional job boards can be swamped with generic postings and questionable jobs. At Perspectv, we prioritise quality over quantity. Our focus is on connecting you with the right opportunities, not just any opportunity.

Beyond the CV: Your Perspectv profile is more than a typical CV. It’s a dynamic and comprehensive portrayal of you. It showcases your skills, interests, preferences, and personality traits – not merely a list of jobs and qualifications.

Job Seeker Empowerment: Unlike many recruiters who primarily serve employers, we’re here to serve you – the job seeker. Our aim is to help you land your dream job, not just fill positions.

Accessibility and Convenience: With Perspectv, your profile remains visible to potential employers around the clock, regardless of their location.

Cost saving: Unlike traditional recruitment tools that come with steep costs, Perspectv offers an incredibly cost-effective solution. Our flat fee of £35 to unlock a candidate’s profile is a fraction of the recruitment fees charged by traditional agencies, which often range from 15-25% of the candidate’s first-year salary. 

Is there a way for me to enhance my profile ?

Absolutely! You can take steps to make your profile truly stand out:

  1. Keep it Updated: Regularly update your profile with your latest skills, experiences, and achievements. This ensures that potential employers see the most current and relevant information about you.

By following these tips, you can enhance your profile and make a lasting impression on potential employers. 

For Employers

Find the right candidates quickly and easily with Perspectv. Perspectv is a unique talent matching app that takes the hassle out of hiring. We ditch the middlemen and connect you directly with job seekers. There’s no more wading through heaps of irrelevant applications or dealing with slow, pricey recruitment agencies.

How is Perspectv different to Job Boards?

Perspectv distinguishes itself from Job Boards by transforming the recruitment landscape from chaos to clarity.

While Job Boards can often feel like bustling marketplaces with lots of noise and opportunity, we bring organisation to the table.

Our smart algorithms work behind the scenes, aligning job seekers with roles that perfectly match their experience, skills, and even their personality traits. Unlike the Job Boards that primarily focus on who’s available, our approach centers on finding the best fit in terms of capabilities, culture and potential contribution.

Survey Insight:

We’ve conducted extensive surveys among thousands of hiring managers, and their consensus about Job Boards is strikingly consistent – these platforms generate an overwhelming volume of applications, (sometimes over 1,000 per role) however 99% of the candidates are unsuitable for the role.

This not only causes frustration but also consumes valuable time that could be better utilised elsewhere. Time is a precious resource, particularly when it comes to pinpointing fitting candidates.

This is precisely where Perspectv steps in, streamlining the process and presenting you with candidates that genuinely match your requirements, saving you from the sea of irrelevant applications.

How is Perspectv different to Recruiters

Recruiters can help you find candidates, but they often rely on job boards themselves. They’re more interested in filling roles quickly than finding the best fit. That’s not our style. Perspectv uses technology to connect the right candidates to the right jobs. That means, no more sifting through hundreds of CV’s, no more middlemen, and certainly no more hefty recruitment fees.

Cost Comparison Example:

Let’s consider an example where a company is looking to hire for a role with an annual salary of £35,000. Traditional recruiters typically charge a commission of around 25% of the candidate’s first-year salary. This would result in a recruitment fee of £8,750.

On the other hand, using Perspectv, you would only pay a flat fee of £35 to unlock a candidate’s profile and connect directly with them. Even if you purchased 10 candidate profiles, that’s a remarkable difference compared to the hefty recruitment fee charged by traditional agencies.

In this scenario, using Perspectv would save you a significant amount of money –  making it a cost-effective alternative that doesn’t compromise on quality or efficiency.

How does Perspectv find candidates?

Perspectv employs a multi-faceted approach to sourcing candidates. We’re seamlessly connected to major job boards, which means that when you post a job with us, it gains visibility among a wide pool of potential candidates.

Now, here’s where we shine. Instead of letting you drown in a sea of applications, our clever algorithm steps in and sifts through every single application, making sure only the ones that truly fit your job get through. So, you get to skip the clutter and dive straight into reviewing the really good matches. 

Can I post jobs on Perspectv for free?

Absolutely! Posting jobs on Perspectv is completely free. You have the freedom to create and share as many job openings as you need. Whether you’re looking to fill a single position or multiple roles, Perspectv caters to your needs. You can even keep roles open to establish a steady flow of potential talent. Our aim is to provide a user-friendly and cost-effective platform for your hiring endeavors.

How does Perspectv’s pricing work?

Perspectv’s pricing model is designed to be straightforward and equitable. Here’s how it works: once we present you with a list of candidates that match your requirements, you have the freedom to select whom you’d like to engage with. For each candidate’s profile you choose to unlock, there’s a flat fee of £35. This approach ensures transparency and predictability, which sets it apart from more traditional and sometimes unpredictable recruitment costs.

On average, companies typically opt for around 6-10 candidate profiles per role. However, you have the flexibility to choose as many candidates as you deem suitable for your needs. It’s worth noting that even if you select numerous profiles, the overall cost is often still more economical compared to engaging a recruiter. This pricing structure underscores our commitment to providing cost-effective and competitive hiring solutions.

How does Perspectv make sure candidates match my culture?

Instead of just zeroing in on hard skills like most traditional recruitment methods, Perspectv takes a more rounded view. We think it’s just as important to understand who you are as a person, not just what’s on your resume.

Perspectv goes beyond the conventional focus solely on hard skills to ensure a cultural match between candidates and your organisation. We believe that understanding who you are as an individual is as vital as what’s listed on your resume.

Here’s the scoop: we delve into soft skills and personality traits, providing a deeper understanding of a candidate’s inclinations, coping mechanisms, and behavioral tendencies.

This approach serves to create a robust alignment between the candidate and your company culture, ensuring a harmonious fit. By factoring in these nuanced aspects, we increase the likelihood of a successful and lasting match between candidates and your workplace ethos.

Take note: Studies have shown that employees who align well with their company’s culture and environment are up to 25% more productive than those who do not. When employees feel a sense of belonging, their job satisfaction increases, leading to higher levels of engagement and commitment. This positive correlation between cultural fit and productivity highlights the significance of finding candidates who resonate with the organisation’s values and work atmosphere. 💪💪
