  • Proven ability to lead and manage technical customer engagements, including scoping, expectation setting, and successful delivery.
  • Experience in solution selling methodologies (e.g. MEDDPICC, SPIN, Challenger Sales) and how they apply to the technical sales cycle.
  • Experience building effective relationships with both technical stakeholders (developers, architects) and business leaders.

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.
