Why a Universal CV ?

Status is:

– Applicants to most corporate websites or job-boards need to fill in a candidate form to be

included in applicant s database or to apply for a specific job offer

– 80% of the requesting information on these sites are the same (Personal information, professional

experiences, studies/training background, language competencies, etc…),

– Filling in a form by a candidate takes him more than 15 minutes,

– In the case that it is possible to apply by email, all candidates don’t have the opportunity to

create a CV cause they don‟t have access to needed software, even free software (mainly because it is

linked to the opportunity to have a PC),

– « web » access mode is most neutral/(equal access) to apply for a job (in opposite to email mode

which imply to attach a word or PDF file) cause it is accessible from all “cyber café”,

– Discriminated candidates don’t send anymore their CVs cause they anticipated a negative

response.

– The lack of confidentiality from CVs databases available today curbs CVs hosting.

The Universal CV for candidates and job

How ?

● Specifying a Universal CV standard:

• Based on the standard managed by Europe = Europass CV,

• Based on open computer technologies, globally compatible and established: HR-XML

Which consequences ?

– Better ‘image’ for compatible enterprises as well as limiting loose of time

– Simplification of editing procedure: Only filling it once

– Simplification of management for the candidate (only one entry point)

– A „durable‟ relationship with candidates (even if there already have a job, they could easily update their CVU)

What do we guarantee to candidates ?

– Security of the process (attack, aspiration, etc.)

– Reliable service

– Confidentiality of data stored

– Ethic

Why a Universal CV - Summary

Ethic and Recruiting whish to put in place the Universal CV :

– Based on web compatible format – HR XML,

– Candidate CV is hosted on a secure server accessible online on the internet,

– The CV include 80% of the information requested by corporate websites or job-

boards,

– Corporate websites or job-boards forms are fill in automatically when a Universal

CV candidate apply,

– The CV can be exported in common format such as Word, Html, Pdf, etc (if

necessary),

– It presents information in a structured manner, equal (neutral) for ALL candidates

(to limit discrimination).

EIfEL Background for CVU project

European Association based in France with a similar mission/objective:

help to increase the use and best practice of technologies for life long learning and

employability

A leading action to respond to Bologne objectives,

« An ePortfolio for all citizens in 2010 ! »

(a Cv is a basic/simple form of an ePortfolio)

Which is related to several sub-actions:

– Communities building (Europortfolio: ePortfolio.eu, eLearning regions & cities,

key competencies…),

– Events organisation (ePortfolio conferences, eLearning regions & cities,

plugfests, CV interoperability seminar…),

– Internal research work on interoperability on different fields (e-Learning, HR,

Identity, Industrial web-services…)

– Participation in several european projects (EPICC, GEARS, MOSEP…),

– As well as to specifications and standardisation bodies in Europe and globally

(CEN ISSS, IEEE LTSC, Cedefop, HR-XML, Liberty Alliance, OpenID, AICC,

IMS…)

EIfEL Background for CVU project

EIfEL interoperability background work on digital identity and CV:

• EIfEL takes the lead of the HR-XML Europass working group (July 2006)

– Developed an HR-XML Europass CV / Europortfolio application profile (already

used by EuroCV.eu online service),

– Developed online web-services like CVTranscoder to increase and facilitate CV

interoperability:

» Support HR-XML formats (DE, FR, UK), Cedefop (EU), IMS ePortfolio (NL), hResume

micro-format (LinkedIn),

» Support europass Cedefop web service for classical document export (PDF, Word,

OpenOffice, HTML).

• Active participation to Concordia project to increase identity interoperability

(July 2007):

– Draft public ID-SIS HR Liberty (Sampo Kellomaki - Symlabs) :

» Based on the HR-XML Europass CV/Europortfolio Application profile,

» Interoperability between Entr‟Ouvert and Symlabs implementations demonstrated during

HCSIT 2007 Conference (DIP/HR-XML/eP) and ePortfolio plugfest, October 2007,

Maastricht.

» EIfEL become sponsor member of LA in February 2008 to finalise this new HR ID-SIS
