Today, 22 June 2011, Rigmor Aasrud, the Norwegian Minister of Government Administration, Reform and Church Affairs, launched the Portable CV standard that will make it possible for job-seekers to transfer their CVs from one recruitment portal to another. The introduction of the new standard will mean that job-seekers no longer have to register their CVs over and over again in multiple job-seeker solutions.

“Many of us send out multiple job applications every time we change jobs, and we use the Internet to do so. Recent graduates in particular apply for a great many jobs. So I am delighted that job applicants no longer have to spend all their time filling in the same CV time and time again,” says Rigmor Aasrud.

The standard was created following a letter to the editor of the newspaper Aftenposten, written by Morten Sæthre, an active job-seeker, on 18 March last year.

The members of the work group are to incorporate the new standard in their job-seeking and CV systems on an ongoing basis over the coming year. The work group suppliers have included WebCruiter, Finn.no, JobbNorge, HR Manager, Lumesse and NAV.

Following completion of a competitive tender process, Telenor has selected WebCruiter’s recruitment solution. Telenor intends the solution to be used by all its companies in Norway.

WebCruiter’s solution professionalises Telenor’s entire recruitment process, and is part of a wider strategic effort to attract new competence to the company.

“The solution was selected because it contributes to improved quality assurance and better functionality, at the same time as the system is both operationally reliable and simple to use.

We look forward to meeting candidates in a more professional way throughout the recruitment process,” says Telenor’s project manager Marianne Stokke.

WebCruiter has been listed in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA 2010, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in EMEA. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over five years.

"We congratulate WebCruiter on being one of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in the region."
