The posting

Introduction

In just 10 years, Octopus Energy has evolved from a disruptive challenger into the UK’s largest energy retailer and a well-loved brand, serving more than 8 million customers. Our rapid expansion has been powered by consistently strong growth across diverse sales channels, the smooth integration of retailer acquisitions, and impressive customer retention.

We continue to lead and redefine the energy market through innovative time-of-use tariffs and data-driven commercial strategies that transform how customers engage with energy. We empower customers with dynamic pricing and "Intelligent" EV charging, rewarding them for shifting consumption to greener, cheaper periods.

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.
