Very much so Muddy,
Natalie is taking a brave and imaginative step. I don't think people are actually critising her or her idea, merely requesting info on the logistics, which as you can see she has found very useful.
This is not a double act by the way. CVs online has been about for years now... but I always felt it needed more input... not enough time in the day for me to do it to the level that it becomes the resource I wished for. Too many out of date CVs, too many people not needing work from it.. so it needs management... and like all things this will cost ... CVs Online will, like JIS BAJR Jobs be complementary NOT competitors - I wish this success, but lets not get lost in the world of 'good ideas'.
CVs Online. (version 2)
1) Put your CV on for free.
2) Each month you will be contacted and the CV updated.
3) The CV will contain data on if you are or are not available in any given month
4) Access to the CV list will be by subscription (say ?200 per year) for contractors.
5) You can update your own CV anytime
6) IF the feedback about a person shows they have made false claims etc they will be removed.
7) To employ a person from CVs Online, the same minimum pay (dependant on Grade and type of job applies... and Contractors paying less will be questioned and may then have access removed)
So its not really the same as Archpeople... no conflict there at all.
The big question on casual labour comes up in July... with the new legislation on short term contracts...
hope that sets your mind at rest.
Another day another WSI?
