Thirty people are in jobs found this way.
Not 'job seekers'. A logistics coordinator whose warehouse closed. A woman coming back after three years with children who thinks the gap disqualifies her. A developer on a visa clock. A graduate who has sent 180 applications and has stopped opening the replies. They arrive humiliated, and the humiliation is the thing to handle first.
It is never one hour, it is every evening. The same CV goes to a hundred adverts with the company name swapped in the letter. Nothing comes back, so they send more. Volume replaces thought, thought would have replaced volume, and the loop tightens until they cannot look at it any more.
- Reading an advert in full and extracting what it actually asks for — including the requirement buried in paragraph four
- Matching those requirements against a fixed record of what you have genuinely done
- Producing the tailored CV and letter, evidence by evidence
- Tracking every application, its stage, and when a follow-up is due
- Building the interview prep pack from that specific advert
- Spotting a repost, an agency phantom, or a duplicate
- Whether this job is worth wanting
- How to talk about the gap, the firing, the visa
- What you will and will not claim about yourself
- Whether to take the offer
- The evidence bank
- The first session is not software. We sit and write down everything you have actually done, with numbers, in your own words. Usually two to four hours, and it is the hardest part. Nothing enters the system that does not come out of this bank.
- The advert reader
- Paste a URL or a PDF. It returns the real requirements, split into hard and soft, what the advert reveals about the team, and a plain-language paragraph on what this job actually is.
- The match pass
- Every requirement gets one of three marks: evidenced, adjacent, or absent. Absent stays absent. It never invents a bridge.
- The tracker
- One row per application: role, date, source, stage, follow-up due, outcome, and what was learned. After thirty applications this is the most useful thing you own, because the patterns appear — which sectors answer, which channels are dead, which claims produce interviews.
- The prep pack
- Generated per interview from the advert plus the bank: likely questions, your own examples mapped to each one, and questions to ask back.
The tool refuses to exaggerate your experience.
This is not a setting. If a requirement is absent, it says absent and offers you the choice: skip the application, or address the gap honestly in the letter. I have been asked to soften this. I do not.
It is the reason the thirty people who got jobs kept the jobs — nothing was promised in the room that could not be delivered on Monday. It also does not decide where to apply. It ranks and filters; you choose.
Not applications sent — that number goes down, usually by 70%. Interviews per hundred applications, time from advert to submitted application (target: under 25 minutes), and follow-ups actually sent.
When you do not have a job-search problem, you have a career decision you are avoiding — you know the field is wrong and are applying inside it anyway. No tool fixes that, and building one is a way of helping you stall.
The evidence bank hurts. Everything after it is fifteen minutes an application.
I had sent one hundred and eighty applications and stopped opening the replies. The first session was not software at all, it was four hours of him asking me what I had actually done and writing it down, and I found that harder than any interview. After that I applied to eleven jobs in six weeks instead of forty, and three of them called me. What I noticed most was that the tool would not let me claim something I could not back up — I asked it to soften one line about a system I had barely touched and it simply said no.
I was out for three years with my children and I was sure the gap was the reason nobody answered. He did not tell me the gap was fine, which I appreciated, he told me it was a paragraph and we wrote the paragraph. The tracker was the thing I did not expect to matter and it mattered most, because after twenty applications I could see that one whole sector never replied and I stopped wasting my evenings there.
Tell me what your week looks like.
I'll tell you honestly which parts you can hand over — and which you can't.
