Reverse Recruiter | Land Interviews & Six Figure Offers | CV, LinkedIn

London, United Kingdom
$25 per hour
42 jobs
$10K+ total earnings

I handle the entire job search process for professionals at every level, from mid-career to senior executives targeting $150K to $350K+ roles. Most career services stop at the CV. I go further than anyone else in the industry. What you get: A CV built from scratch and tailored to every role you apply for, positioned to pass ATS screening and land in front of a human. Targeted applications submitted on your behalf through company sites, LinkedIn, and job boards. Direct email and LinkedIn outreach to hiring managers, recruiters, and decision makers. Follow up management so nothing falls through the cracks. A live tracker covering every application, contact, and interview stage. My background is in recruitment and sales, which means I know how to write outreach that gets responses, not templates that get ignored. I treat every application like a campaign, not a checkbox. What clients are seeing: Over £1M in combined salaries landed across my client base A client secured two offers, one exceeding $300K, after repositioning A Data Scientist secured two six figure offers after repositioning Clients typically have multiple interviews within 3 weeks A professional went from zero interviews to 7 responses in 2 weeks Currently supporting clients targeting roles across the UK, US, EU, UAE, and APAC How it works: Week one I build your targeting profile, refine your CV, and set up your tracker. From there it is a continuous cycle of sourcing, qualifying, applying, outreach, and follow up. You handle interviews and final conversations. I handle everything else. I can start immediately and most clients see traction within the first two to three weeks. If your results do not match your ability, the signal is off. Message me and I will tell you exactly what needs to change.

AI Talent Systems Builder | Tech Recruiter | SaaS | Start-up/Scale-up

Key Areas of Expertise (10+ years’ experience) • AI-Enabled Talent and People Infrastructure • Multi-Layer AI Agent Design and Workflow Automation • Start-up and Scale-up Operations • Executive Recruitment and Workforce Strategy • Embedding AI into HR Systems, Hiring Processes, and Evaluation Frameworks • Team Coaching and Capability Development I have over a decade of experience across operations, HR, and executive recruitment, working primarily with early-stage and scaling businesses. I partner with founders and leadership teams to build the structures, teams, and ways of working required to deliver against commercial goals. My focus is on turning strategy into execution. This involves defining operating models, clarifying ownership, and implementing practical frameworks such as SOPs, process maps, RACI, and decision-making structures. The objective is to remove ambiguity, increase pace, and enable teams to operate effectively as the business grows. A key differentiator in my work is the design and deployment of AI across talent and operations. I build multi-layered AI agent systems that integrate directly into workflows, supporting the full hiring and people lifecycle, from role definition and sourcing through to assessment, decision-making, and onboarding. This includes: - AI agents for sourcing, screening, and candidate engagement - Structured evaluation frameworks and AI-supported scorecards to improve consistency and hiring quality - Automated workflows across recruitment and HR to eliminate manual bottlenecks - Decision-support systems that enable faster, more informed hiring outcomes - AI embedded within HR environments to support performance tracking, documentation, and day-to-day operations The approach is always practical, integrating AI into existing environments so it is adopted, scalable, and aligned with business priorities rather than adding unnecessary complexity. Alongside this, I lead executive and GTM hiring as a strategic function rather than a transactional process. I work closely with leadership teams to define roles based on business priorities, build hiring roadmaps, and deliver targeted searches that balance capability, potential, and long-term alignment. I also focus heavily on team performance and leadership development. I support early GTM and operational teams operating in high-pressure environments, particularly where client relationships and revenue are at risk. This includes onboarding, coaching on complex client scenarios, strengthening commercial judgement, and improving consistency in execution. At leadership level, I help sharpen decision-making, accountability, and performance standards. In addition, I support individuals stepping into greater responsibility, helping them navigate complexity, improve judgement, and perform effectively under pressure. Overall, I work across people, operations, and AI-enabled systems, helping businesses build the structure, capability, and infrastructure needed to scale while maintaining control of execution.

I transform messy, confusing work histories into high-impact, ATS-optimized CVs that land interviews. Most job seekers fail to realize that human eyes don't read their CV first—Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) do. If a CV lacks the right structural layout or key industry keywords, it gets filtered out automatically. As a professional CV Writer and ATS Optimization Specialist, I bridge that gap to make sure your value proposition gets noticed by top recruiters and hiring managers. My approach combines resume psychology, strategic keyword mapping, and clean formatting to present your career history as a compelling narrative. Whether you are climbing the corporate ladder, shifting careers entirely, or re-entering the workforce, I tailor your professional branding to meet your industry’s precise demands. This case studies attached highlights how I transform highly informal, passive, and poorly structured work histories into corporate-ready, ATS-optimized CVs. The 'Before' version contains formatting errors and casual phrasing that would trigger automated rejection filters. The 'After' version uses professional action verbs, a clean single-column structure, and targeted keyword layout designed to pass software filters and attract top-tier recruiters. Services include: Bespoke CV & Resume Writing: Complete overhauls or built entirely from scratch. ATS Optimization & Keyword Integration: Ensuring your CV bypasses digital filters. Tailored Cover Letters: Persuasive narratives that hook a recruiter's interest. Structural Editing & Proofreading: Stripping away complex layouts that break ATS systems. I partner with motivated professionals who are ready to invest in their careers and secure their next big role. Let’s build a CV that opens doors for you.
