    Recruitment

    I have been looking for work for a couple of months now and every time I email my CV to the recruitment company for work, I wil get a email stating I must fax a cover letter, 3 page CV all relevant documents and a photo. I have already send the email with all the details, why must I fax it again , Is it to make money out of all the faxes they receive. I there anybody thats in recruitment that can explain this to me

    Thanks

    My wife has a recruitment agency - she also requests you fax a 3 page cv. From talking to her I gather that because she has a lot of people looking for jobs, the 3 page cv and the photograph are then punched/scanned into a database programme that she has linked to their computers. When they are then looking for people with those qualifications/criteria the computer links the two together - if suitable she then calls you in for an interview. Somewhere along the line she also does a credit check and a criminal check on the candidate. No she does not make money out of the faxes sent. Perhaps that company that does not accept the e mails - their programme can only pick up the info from the scanned fax !

    Thanks for the info. Wil your wife be able to assist me, as I need to move back to the Vaal triangle, and it is not always possible for me to fly to jhb just for 1 interview.
    Any advise will be appreciated

    I can only say that you should e mail her your cv. If she has anything suitable and you have the qualifications, she will get hold of you. Send me a pm and I will send you her e mail address.
