You can't avoid the ATS.
But candidates can still showcase their impact story.
And those who hire, can dive-deep into candidate capability.

Hiring and job-hunting is broken. Whether applying or recruiting, the process has become a mechanical race to the bottom where true talent gets lost in the noise.
For Candidates: To beat the ATS, you’ve likely stripped your CV of its personality. In a sea of 700+ applicants, a flat, keyword-heavy document won't help you stand out to executives.
For Recruiters: Most CVs look identical. Relying on vague automated scores means you risk losing exceptional talent because they missed a keyword.
We bridge the gap between keywords and story. We support your job-specific CV with accompanying executive profiles designed to showcase your real capability, impact and story. That's something recruiters love and candidates value.
LittleBench: Empowering job-seekers to showcase their exceptional talent, personality, using your words, uplifted with professional "wow".
BigBench: Helping hiring teams benchmark candidates to find the perfect fit faster; and consultants to prove themselves against industry standards.

For candidates, ATS's often have a URL field where you can add a 'portfolio'. But unless you are a designer, you won't have one. Plus many of us either don't want, have time or know how to build a professional personal-branded website either.
And that's where things get stuck in a rut. Because job-hunting is about being proactive; reaching out to key executives to introduce yourself, even when no job is vacant. But to do that effectively, you need to be
memorable. You need that
wow-factor.
Our job is to help job-seekers showcase your exceptional talents and impact. We do that through LittleBench or BigBench.
And we're here for recruiters and hiring teams, helping them learn about who they're interviewing; benchmarking against peer-groups and industry standards. We do that using BigBench.
