Most job-search advice is written by people who have never made a hiring decision.I'm not one of them.For 25 years I worked on the other side of the hiring desk — building and leading the recruitment teams, technology and screening processes that decide who gets a call and who doesn't. I've watched, from the inside, exactly how a pile of 250 applications becomes a shortlist of six.Here's the uncomfortable truth: the average corporate job now attracts 250+ applicants, and roughly 3 out of 4 CVs are filtered out before a human ever reads them. Not because those people weren't good enough — because their application was never set up to be seen properly.Seen & Shortlisted fixes that. It's not a pretty template. It's the complete system for understanding how modern hiring actually works — the software, the recruiter, the interview — and setting yourself up to get through each stage.What's inside The Insider Playbook (12 chapters) — how hiring really works from the inside: how the screening software reads and ranks you in 2026 (and why the old "keyword-stuffing" advice now backfires), the recruiter's 7-second scan, how to find roles you actually have a shot at, and how to get found rather than just applying. 3 system-ready CV templates — Professional, Executive, and Career-Changer. Clean, single-column, built to pass through the software cleanly, with guidance written in. A matching cover letter template — with the short formula recruiters actually read. The AI Tailoring Prompt Pack — copy-and-paste prompts that tailor your CV and cover letter to any job in about 15 minutes, without sounding like a robot (and without inventing anything). The Interview Cheat Sheet — the STAR method, a story-bank checklist, and the "questions behind the questions" so you know what's really being asked. The Application Tracker — a simple spreadsheet with a live dashboard to keep your whole search organised. Why this is differentMost job-search products are made by designers. This one is built on 25 years of senior recruitment leadership — hiring at scale across multiple countries. It's current, too: it reflects how AI and screening systems actually work in 2026, not advice from five years ago that now works against you.Who it's forAnyone applying for jobs — whether you're early-career, mid-to-senior, or changing direction entirely. The Career-Changer template and the transferable-skills chapter are built specifically for people moving into a new field.An honest noteNo product can guarantee you a job — nothing honestly can. What this does is put the odds meaningfully more in your favour by helping the system and the recruiter actually see, understand and shortlist you.Regular price $49 — available now at $29.Instant download. Yours to keep and reuse for every application.FAQsWhat format is everything in? The Playbook, cheat sheet and free guide are PDFs. The CV and cover letter templates are Microsoft Word (.docx) files you can edit in Word or Google Docs. The tracker is an Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet that also opens in Google Sheets.Will the CV templates really get past the software? They're built to the formatting rules that let screening systems read you cleanly — single column, standard headings, no parsing-breaking graphics. No template can promise a perfect result with every system (they all work differently), but these are built to be read and ranked accurately.Do I need to pay for AI tools? No. The prompt pack works with the free versions of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot.Is this just for senior professionals? No — it's for all job seekers. There are templates and guidance for early-career, senior, and career-changer situations.Can I get a refund? Because it's an instant digital download, all sales are final — but if something's wrong with your files, message me and I'll sort it out.
