Why a CV for this job?

94% of employers say their filters drop qualified candidates whose CV does not match the ad's exact criteria (Harvard Business School, 2021).

  • They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
  • It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
  • In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
  • Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

Our Platform Engineers combine a deep level of fundamental knowledge of how to deploy and maintain reliable and scalable systems, with a broad awareness of wider software engineering principles and experience with the latest DevOps tooling, both cloud and on-prem. We’re technology-agnostic and we’re open minded when it comes to your existing skillset.
