  • 5+ years of program management experience in marketing, advertising, or consulting environments
  • Proven track record with programs where the agency acts as our clients’ “PMO” and is an integral part of their multi-vendor delivery system

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.
