The posting

Company Description

Organizations everywhere struggle under the crushing costs and complexities of “solutions” that

promise to simplify their lives. To create a better experience for their customers and employees. To

help them grow. Software is a choice that can make or break a business. Create better or worse

experiences. Propel or throttle growth. Business software has become a blocker instead of ways to

get work done.

There’s another option. Freshworks. With a fresh vision for how the world works.

At Freshworks, we build uncomplicated service software that delivers exceptional customer and

employee experiences. Our enterprise-grade solutions are powerful, yet easy to use, and quick to

deliver results. Our people-first approach to AI eliminates friction, making employees more effective

and organizations more productive. Over 72,000 companies, including Bridgestone, New Balance,

Nucor, S&P Global, and Sony Music, trust Freshworks’ customer experience (CX) and employee

experience (EX) software to fuel customer loyalty and service efficiency. And, over 4,500 Freshworks

employees make this possible, all around the world.

Fresh vision. Real impact. Come build it with us.

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.
