Advantages: Provided me with some very useful recruiter contacts Disadvantages: Can't think of any

All in all I felt I got good value from CVtrumpet as it provided me with some useful recruiter contacts, which in turn got me one interview with another to follow.

The service is provided to recruitment firms for free and the jobseeker pays for the service. When I emailed them, they said that by providing recruitment firms with CVs for free, they have been able to build an extensive network of recruiters across the UK numbering 8,271 as of August the 17th, '09.
I chose the package that was £42.55. This was for sending my CV to all recruiters that matched my profile once. I emailed them beforehand and they said that my profile matched 251 recruiters (I am a sales manager). I had the option to get the list of matching recruitment firms when joining online for an additional fee but decided to just get the sending service.
When I was joining, I could choose the recruitment firms my CV went to. First I chose my job level (MD/Director/Manager/Project Manager/Employee), then I chose the job type, there was about 80 to 100 of these and they include specific job types under these more general categories: Sales, Marketing, IT, Senior Management, Engineering, Operations, Finance and some others.
Next I chose the salary level, these went from £15,000 to £500,000. You're also asked whether you are looking for a permanent, contract, interim or temporary position as well as your location targets (it only covers the UK). You can also choose from a large number if industries also. Part time and graduate positions aren't mentioned on the form so these are likely to be not covered by the service.
I found the complete list of job functions and industries that they can help you in here (the page is actually for recruiters): http://www.cvtrumpet.co.uk/signup.php
I added my CV at around 8.30 in the morning and got an email to say that it was going out that afternoon a few hours later.
A few recruiters emailed that afternoon and some phoned. The next day I had a few more enquiries from recruiters looking for more information or to discuss a potential role.
I'm very happy with the service and would use again.
Advantages: Got my CV to a large number of recruiters quickly. It's fast and was effective for me. Disadvantages: While they have a free service (adding your CV to database) the CV forwarding is a pay-for service
CVtrumpet is a CV forwarding service. It forwards your CV to the inboxes of a large number of recruiters that match your salary, job type, industry and your level (Manager/Director/Specialist etc). Recruiters receive CVs for free and CVtrumpet state on their site that they have over 8,200 recruiters with them that receive CVs. A friend had used the service and recommended it. With the current market I was a little sceptical though as there doesn't ... ...I was looking last May. I decided to go for it and joined in less than 5 minutes. My CV was sent to 197 recruiters that matched my profile (out of the 8,200 in total). I was able to get the list of recruitment companies, registration was fairly quick and easy and my CV was sent out the next day (they send a confirmation email).
On the day my CV went out (and the day after) I received several responses from recruiters, both emails and phone calls, ...

Advantages: sends your CV to many search firms quickly Disadvantages: send Word docs only (instead of my nice PDF CV)
...you're not familiar with it, CVtrumpet sends your CV out to search firms/recruiters for you. It's just one form on which you add your CV and a profile, and they then send your CV on to recruiters that match your profile. In my case there were 159 recruiters that matched my profile. I know this as you can also get the list of search firms (but not contact details) as an optional extra that your CV is sent to.
My CV went out the next morning. Even ...
