  • Proficiency in collecting, organising and analysing qualitative and quantitative information from open sources.
  • An ability to identify emerging risks, track key indicators and contribute to structured risk assessments.
  • Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail, with the ability to distinguish evidence from assumptions and communicate uncertainty.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce concise, clearly structured analysis in English.
  • The ability to manage competing priorities and deliver accurate work within tight deadlines.
  • A collaborative approach and willingness to develop regional and methodological expertise through feedback and guidance.
  • A strong data analysis mindset.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint, alongside strong online research skills.
  • English language proficiency is essential.

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.
