QR Codes come to ITCO

Wed, 25 May 2011 08:53:08 -0500

A QR code (short for Quick Response) is a specific matrix barcode, readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a sqaure pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL, or other data.

Although adoption in the United States has been slow, we here at iTalent Company recognize the innovative usefullness this technology presents for our clients. Therefore, we are now integrating QR codes on all of our clients resumes. The barcode will allow users to quickly link to a client's online portfolio or demo reel by simply scanning the code located on the bottom of each resume.

To use this feature you must have a camera phone equipped with QR reader application. Free apps can be found through the App Store or Android Market.
