  • Ability to research and interpret requirements, assess evidence and reach balanced, reasoned decisions and recommendations, exercising sound judgement and discretion.
  • Clear, accurate written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain requirements to non-specialists, influence colleagues and challenge constructively; a collaborative, service-focused approach.
  • Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and statutory deadlines, and recognise when senior or specialist advice is needed.

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.
