Springwise have wrote an interesting article about a new video interview application. The website allows potential employers to interview candidates for potential employment. The service is called Ovia, the website is: http://www.oviahr.com/.

This is a quote from the website:
“OVIA is a video interviewing platform that makes your candidate filtering and selection process more efficient and personal. Recruitment is all about finding the right people, not just the right resumes. Use the power of competency based video selection to evaluate candidates faster and more effectively.”

I am working on the SEO for a site about Irish fine art prints called perquisites.

The new Google Chrome OS is an opertating system that is just for accessing the interenet. It is said to have a 7 second boot time and everything works through the browser, so everything is stored and runs online.  While not for everyone it does make sense for people who just want to use the internet with their laptop for example.

We all need some motivation some times. I have been watching some video lectures on the website www.ted.com, and on it a Tony Robbins talk.

So if you want a straight talking company that can work with you for your digital and web solutions then my companies response is so much better so talk to us.

Our company is updating stock box and packaging products website boxesdirect2u.co.uk we built the ecommerce website last year and after the shop has taken many successful orders we are planning to build the search rankings and improve the conversion rate of the website.

The site uses sagepay as the payment gateway which fits seamlessly into the website so that the customer does not have to go leave the website to pay and is reminded of the security on the website.
