TragicTalent

The tragedy is the market

Applying is the hard part. We do it for you.

Upload your CV once. We find the jobs, fill in each employer's form from it and send it, within limits you set. What only you can answer, you answer once.

Free to try, no card. The first campaign is a dry run: everything written, nothing sent, until you switch sending on.

And it aims wider than you would.

Most people search the title on their last payslip. A CV usually supports four or five occupations: work already done under a different name. Tragic Talent reads yours and applies across them.

An example, from one engineer's CV. Yours come from yours, whatever the field.

  • Same work

    Software Developer

    The lane you are already in. Here because it should be, not because it is interesting.

  • Sideways

    Data Analyst

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

  • Sideways

    Solutions Architect

    System design, explained to people who do not code. Years of it sit on most CVs, unclaimed.

  • A step up

    Engineering Manager

    Mentoring, planning, running a team. Suggested only when the CV shows the evidence.

How it works

  1. Upload your CV

    One file, any common format. Read once for what you have actually done: skills, tools, years, responsibilities.

  2. Look at your lanes

    Each lane shows what you have and what is missing. You pick; a slider sets how far from your title to go.

  3. Set the limits

    Totals, per day, per company, minimum fit, a spend cap. The first campaign is a dry run: it prepares everything, sends nothing.

  4. Approve, or do not

    Queue applications for your approval, or let it send within your caps. One button stops everything.

What this will not do

Worth knowing before you upload anything, rather than after.

  • Most employers still need you at the last step

    Some hiring systems take direct submission. Most do not: we write the application, you send it through the employer's own apply link.

  • Nothing is sent until you switch it on

    A new campaign is a dry run: jobs found, applications written, nothing sent until you turn sending on.

  • Every application is written for the job

    The same CV a thousand times is noise. Each is written from your facts against the posting. Read any of them.

  • Your CV is yours

    Sent over TLS, encrypted at rest by our database provider, never sold. Delete it and everything built from it goes too, counted.

Start with a dry run.

Upload a CV, look at your lanes, read what would go out in your name. Nothing leaves until you say so.
