  • The ability to write clear bug reports and communicate findings to technical and non-technical colleagues.
  • A methodical approach, good attention to detail and the judgement to prioritise issues by their impact on users.
  • Familiarity with test management or bug tracking tools, such as Jira.
  • A collaborative mindset and interest in improving the quality and accessibility of digital products.

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.
