The posting

From their farms and factories in Nicaragua and Honduras, every cigar is guided from seed to smoke with patience, discipline, and a deep respect for nature. Today, present in over 80 countries worldwide, Plasencia continues to define excellence in premium cigars. Among its creations is the iconic Alma Collection, crafted to deliver a terroir-driven experience unlike any other. Plasencia also stands as the only premium cigar house to grow certified organic tobacco—cultivating without chemicals, preserving water, and restoring life to the soil so each harvest may thrive.

Five generations of stewardship continue to carry this legacy forward.

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.
