Short story about Tokbox and iStockCV collaboration:

Tokbox is the tool that we have added on our platform iStockCV and is currently developed in Silicon Valley (California).

Ron Hose founded TokBox around the principle that video communications should be as easy as possible, and available wherever people want to communicate. Tokbox is backed by impressive investors : Bain Capital Ventures, Sequoia Capital et Youniversity Ventures (one of the founders of YouTube, Jawed Karim).

We warmly thank Deidre Caldbeck (VP of Business Development), Melih (developer) and Damon (community Evangelis) for the collaboration with iStockCV team. Great support guys!

In 2009, we will continue to collaborate with Tokbox team for a better customization. We invite you to test it and send us all your comments.
Tokbox could also be used independently of iStockCV. We trully believe that video conversation is part of the future of the web — we invite you to join now and use it with your relations.

Advanced search engine for candidates

Companies have already a powerful search engine in order to find the right candidate.

However candidates were only able to search for companies. (See below)

Since today candidates can perform a search for job offers (included event invitations).  (See below)

The same search engine is available on the home page — and you don’t need to be registered to istockcv. (See below). However, if you want to apply, interact with the company : you will of course need to sign up/ log in.

Tx @Nicolas for this improvement :)

Feedback button : shout!

Receiving feedback is essential in order to improve our web-application. Today users can post comments at any time on any page very easily thanks to UserVoice. Unfortunately, this feature is in english only. (However, UserVoice plans to internationalize it)

How does it work?

1. If you take a look on the right side of your current page, you will see a red button “Feedback”. Just click on it.

2. An overlay (a.k.a gray shadow) appears with a box (showed as below):

3. Leave your comment (on the right side) or submit an idea (left side).

Thanks @Uservoice team for that feature ;) Its simplicity makes it awesome!

Export your CV

People have asked us  for months to export their CV. It is now possible to export CVs to PDF.

As we said before, the CV is a skill based CV which is better for young profiles. Moreover, we have optimized the layout so most of the CVs can fit on 1 page only (e.g. for students and recent graduates).

Check it out :  go to my public profile and click on the right “export this CV”.
