In response to a thread on Nairaland referring to PushCV’s elite programme as a scheme, the startup has explained why it is asking users to pay to have their CVs rewritten by the company.
In an exclusive interview with Innovation Village, Odunayo Eweniyi, Co-Founder of PushCV, said the company is charging its users that are making use of its premium career services.
She said: “PushCV has 3 parties involved: the labor market, employers and PushCV itself. We provide value to job seekers by building them up and preparing them for employment. We charge them for career services. Employers trust PushCV to find the best fit for their vacancies from our pool of qualified and fully tested candidates.”
According to her, providing these services is the way the company is generating revenues.
She said: “We, as a company, make money from providing these services to job seekers. They are never charged for placement. What we charge for are the premium career services that we provide e,g CV rewriting and creation as well as taking some courses on our learning centre.
“Companies are charged for the provision of these candidates quickly and efficiently.
“In conclusion, we are a business. We make money from building employability; and all of our services are optional. Most of our revenue is from the companies that request for theses premium candidates.”
