LONDON, April 6 /PRNewswire/ --

- Best Match Functionality Helps Clients to Source Right Candidates

The IT Job Board (http://www.theitjobboard.co.uk) - the biggest IT
jobs site in the UK(1), has launched a CV Database. The system, which was
designed in-house, will provide The IT Job Board's clients with access to
over 100,000 candidate CV's across Europe.

Clients are able to search for candidates using a combination
of skills, phrases and location search terms, along with other criteria, such
as qualifications, and availability. Once a list of candidates is retrieved,
they can view or download a CV, save the search criteria, create email
shortlists, and set up email alerts.

A key differentiator of The IT Job Board's CV Database is the
'Best Match' functionality. Best Match is a profiling tool that enables The
IT Job Board to analyse and score CVs, in order to match similar ones on the
system.

Alex Farrell, managing director of The IT Job Board,
commented: "The Best Match technology can drastically reduce the time it
takes an employer to find relevant CV's. They simply source a candidate they
like, and use the system to search for other similar applicants.

"We provide Best Match technology across all our job boards,
and have had real success with it. We therefore chose to implement the
product within the newly launched CV Database and believe it will act as a
real point of market differentiation."

Farrell added: "Today, candidates in the IT sector often
prefer to be head-hunted by employers, as opposed to applying blindly to
recruitment agency adverts. And, in these difficult economic times, clients
also tend to look for the most cost effective route in order to find
potential employees. Historical surveys have highlighted that the average 
cost per head can be heavily reduced using an online CV Database."
