* Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to communicate professionally across all channels

* Reliable high-speed internet connection and a dedicated, professional home office setup

* Strong computer literacy, including proficiency with email platforms, calendar tools, and Microsoft Office or Google Workspace

Preferred Experience

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
