Apply for the jobs you did not know you could do.

The hard part is not sending applications. It is knowing what to apply for.

Most people search for the title on their last payslip, because it is the only one they are sure of. A CV usually supports four or five occupations, and the ones people miss are rarely a stretch - they are work already being done under a different name. Tragic Talent reads your CV against an occupational taxonomy and shows you the lanes, each one with the evidence for it and the gaps against it.

• Same work

  Software Developer

  The lane you are already in. It is here because it should be, not because it is the interesting part.

• Sideways

  Data Analyst

  The SQL, the reporting and the stakeholder work you already do, sold as the job rather than as a side effect of it.

• Sideways

  Solutions Architect

  System design and writing things down for people who do not code. Most engineers have five years of this and never claim it.

• A step up

  Engineering Manager

  Mentoring, planning and running a team. A step up is only suggested when the CV actually shows the evidence for it.

An example of the shape, from an engineer's CV. Yours are worked out from your own, whatever field it is in.

How it works

1. Upload your CV

   One file, any common format. It is read once to pull out what you have actually done - the skills, the tools, the years and the responsibilities.

2. Look at your lanes

   Occupations you are qualified for, each with what you already have for it and what you are missing. You choose which ones to apply in; a slider decides how far from your current title to go.

3. Set the limits

   How many in total, how many a day, how many per company, the lowest fit you will accept, and a spend cap. The first campaign is a dry run by default - it prepares every application and sends none.

4. Approve, or do not

   Applications can queue for your approval, fifty at a time, cleared with the keyboard in about a minute. Or switch that off and let it send within your caps. One button stops everything, immediately.

What this will not do

Worth knowing before you upload anything, rather than after.

• Most employers still need you at the last step

  Only some hiring systems can be submitted to directly today, and the rest is not "coming soon" - it is most of them. For those we do everything up to the send: the job, the fit, the tailored application, and a link that takes you to the form with it ready. They show up in one place with a count, not as a silent gap.

• Nothing is sent until you switch it on

  A new campaign is a dry run. It finds the jobs, writes the applications and shows you exactly what would have gone out, in your name, before any of it can.

• Every application is written for the job

  The same CV sent a thousand times is a thousand rejections. Each application is written from your facts against that posting, and you can read any of them.

• Your CV is yours

  Encrypted in transit and at rest, held in a database that isolates it to your account by itself rather than by our code remembering to, used only to find and write your applications, and never sold. Delete it and everything built from it goes in one operation, with a count of what went.
