For professionals

The next role, without a second job of searching.

You already have a full-time job. Drop in your résumé and we work the search around it: roles that fit your level, recruiters in your field, speaking slots and awards that build your name — each prepared from your record and sent after your tap.

What you’re after

The goals we work on with you.

Move to a better role

A worked example

Example

A product manager with seven years in B2B software

An illustration, not a real person or a real posting

  1. 1Drops in

    A résumé and her LinkedIn profile, saved as a PDF.

  2. 2Profile

    Mid-level product manager, B2B software, based in Berlin; two launches with their results quoted word for word from the résumé.

  3. 3Goal

    A senior product role, remote within the EU, within four months, with a salary floor used only for filtering.

  4. 4This week's picks

    Three roles on company job boards, one specialist recruiter and one conference call for speakers.

  5. 5Prepared and submitted

    The three roles use each posting's own questions; she reviews the answers and taps Submit. The recruiter email goes out from her Gmail once she approves it.

  6. 6Handoff

    A fourth role is only on LinkedIn, so it arrives as a handoff: cover letter and answers in the order the form asks for them.

What you upload

Start with what you already have.

  • Résumé or CV

    The more specific your results, the better the matching.

  • LinkedIn profile as PDF

    LinkedIn can't be read automatically; its “Save to PDF” export works.

  • Performance records

    Reviews or a list of wins, if you want a promotion case.

  • Licences and certificates

    For licensed professions: healthcare, law, accounting, architecture, teaching, finance.

Every week

What happens while you get on with your life.

  • A short list of roles at your level, not a feed of hundreds
  • Follow-ups on applications and recruiter emails that haven't heard back
  • Replies sorted into interested, meeting, needs information or rejected
  • Milestones against your timeline, and a suggestion when the approach should change

Stays with you

The steps that are yours.

  • Interviews and take-home assignments
  • LinkedIn, Indeed and other platforms that forbid automation, prepared as handoffs
  • Exam registrations and their fees
  • The final salary conversation
Licensed professional? Add your licence and where it's valid. We use it to judge fit, and a licence number only goes into an application you've approved.

Questions

What people in your position ask.

Will my employer find out?

We only send what you approve, to the organisations you choose. Your profile is never published, and no recruiter hears from you unless you approved that email.

Do you apply to hundreds of jobs at once?

No. A few strong, tailored applications a week beat a hundred generic ones, and every submission needs your tap. Your weekly pace follows the plan you choose.

Start with what you have.

Drop in your documents, see what you can go after, and decide later. Free, and nothing is sent until you tap.
