How we work with AI

AI is already part of our everyday, helping us research, create and move faster, so we can put more energy into the work only humans can do.

What AI fluency means to us You don’t need to be technical or know any particular tools but you do need to get AI. For us, that means:

  • Curiosity: you already use AI in your work, and you’re always looking for smarter ways to use it.
  • Judgement: you know where AI adds real value, where it falls short, and when a task needs a human.
  • Ownership: you check what it gives you and stand behind the final result, whatever helped you get there.

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.
