  • Confidence owning outbound into the US market, you know how to engage US buyers, handle objections, and create real opportunities
  • A natural hunter mindset — you don’t wait for pipeline, you build it from scratch
  • Strong experience driving high-volume, high-impact outbound across calls, email, and social, with messaging that actually cuts through

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.
