August 18, 2008: Official opening : September 1st
It’s been an exciting Summer here at our office. First we want to thank all of our new users! You guys are awesome and we’re so thrilled to have you on board. We’ve had a ton of great feedback and questions and we want you all to know that we are listening and planning accordingly. We are working on bugs and new features just about 24/7.
Also, a big thank you at the geeks behind the scene :
- Nicolas Jacobeus and Jean-Baptiste Escoyez, the ruby on rails developers at Belighted.
- Florent Verschelde, the webmaster at Covert Pretige.
- Benjamin De Cock, the designer at Deaxon.
I'm stoked to announce the official launch on September 1st 2008. Our public launch includes a new feature for academic associations/students associations. Indeed, we will offer a free access to a company account-like for any academic associations or student associations. Students (and small-sized schools) have been asking us to have an "online cv/contacts management tool" . So we are glad to offer them a free opportunity. There will be a 3rd tab (a pink one :) on the home page sooner.
Till September 1st, we will have a lot of work to do, like updating the content on public pages and stabilize some features (e.g. pdf exportation). Hold on and stay tuned ;)
If you have any feature requests or you discover any bugs please send us an email at feedback@istockcv.com. You can find more information about our platform on our About page
A big thanks also to all the beta testers!

Nota bene : a big feature is coming out in Autumn
August 12, 2008: Export your CV in PDF
It is now possible to export CVs in PDF.
As we said before (see our blog post), 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”.

August 11, 2008: Your public profile is available
We are glad to announce that companies and candidates have now their public profile.
Take a look at those public profiles:
You can also customize your URL through your tab "settings" (for the companies) or "my account" (for the candidates)
