What are you after?

Deliverables *

Choose at least one thing for me to produce.

Want me to find roles for you?

First, who we're positioning

Enough to open your file and know what level we're pitching at.

Add your name so I can open a file.

Add an email I can send the pack to.

Your current title, or most recent.

Whatever version you have — it doesn't need tidying first. You can also email it over separately.

Leave blank if you'd rather send screenshots.

Your technical profile

Be specific and be complete. These are the exact terms recruiters and screening systems search on, and anything you leave out is invisible to them — there's no credit for modesty here.

Group them how a practitioner would — modelling, data, reporting, infrastructure. Include anything you've used in anger, even if you wouldn't call yourself expert.

The domain vocabulary of your field. This is usually what separates two otherwise identical CVs, and it's the part people most often forget to list.

Include in-progress ones. They count on LinkedIn, they count in an interview, and they tell me which gaps you're already closing.

Use CEFR levels (A1–C2) if you know them. For roles in non-English-speaking markets this is frequently the deciding factor between two similar candidates, so don't undersell a working level.

Where you want to work

Pick up to two. This changes CV conventions, what personal detail to include, and which employers can realistically hire you — so two is the useful limit before the positioning gets muddy.

Target countries * — choose up to 2

Choose at least one country.

The notes above are general information about how these routes work, drawn from published government sources. They aren't immigration advice about your own situation, and they change — sometimes mid-year. For anything turning on your specific circumstances, a registered immigration adviser or solicitor is the right person to ask. What I work on is the job-market side: how you're positioned, which employers are worth approaching, and how your CV reads in that country.

Roles you're aiming at

0 of 4 added

Add at least one role you're targeting.

How it's been going so far

Rough numbers are fine. These tell me where the process is breaking — no replies means the CV isn't getting read, replies but no interviews means the positioning is off. It's the fastest diagnostic there is.

What good actually looks like

Working pattern *

Recruiters filter hard on this, so it's worth being specific rather than saying you're open to anything.

Pick at least one working pattern.

Target salary

Worth being honest here rather than modest. Several visa routes have hard salary floors — if your target sits below one, that route closes regardless of how good your CV is, and I'd rather tell you now.

Company size

Not just preference — smaller employers sponsor visas far less often, so if you need sponsorship this narrows things considerably.

Company stage

I'll check whether these can actually sponsor you where that matters.

Work you're proud of

Up to four pieces of work. This is the part most people skip and it's the part that changes the result most — your strongest evidence is usually inside a project, not a job title, and it almost never makes it onto a CV on its own.

You asked for a visibility plan — so these double as case studies for your site. I've opened the fuller questions on each one. They take longer, but a case study needs a story, not just a result: what was at stake, what got in the way, what you'd do differently. That's what makes someone read to the end.

Add at least one piece of work — even a rough description helps.

Attach your CV to the same email if you haven't already. If you're sending LinkedIn screenshots instead of a link, full-page captures work best.
