  • Pragmatic Attitude: You can assess the trade-offs between different possibilities. You advocate for what you think is best and understand how all factors influence the final decision. You’re willing to try something new and can evaluate how well it worked.
  • AI Realist: You eagerly leverage agentic LLM-based tools when they provide value and know how to account for their limitations.
  • Continuous Learning: You’re curious and always increasing your knowledge base and skill set.
  • Agile Approach: You're no stranger to Agile/Scrum frameworks, thriving in rapid iteration cycles and fast-paced development environments. You know how to productively deal with uncertainty.
  • Educational Background and/or Hands-On Experience: You have at least a Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. Alternatively, you have deep and relevant hands-on expertise acquired on the job.

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.
