  • Excellent interpersonal skills to deal effectively with diverse internal business contacts (e.g., marketing, operations, policy teams) and external partners.
  • Ability to perform make versus buy outsourcing analyses and to develop complex total cost of ownership models.
  • Ability to influence others and act as a cross-functional change agent within the team and the broader company.
  • High personal integrity and ethics.

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.
