Fictional demo data
Every applicant gets a human answer within five calendar days of applying, and every rejection comes with a reason. The clock starts the moment your application arrives, and you can watch it count down.
Morgan's application: answered on day 3. Fictional demo.
Candidates use AI to write their CVs. Employers use AI to filter them. Most people get turned down without speaking to anyone, and never find out whether their application was even opened.
It's worst for people who are better in person than on paper: someone who's done the work for twenty years, changed direction, trained overseas or is only just starting out. A PDF flattens all of it.
| The PDF CV | Your Pod |
|---|---|
| Keywords decide if a person reads it | A person listens. CV Pod never scores, ranks or judges anyone. |
| Anyone can claim anything | Verified identity, plus claims confirmed by people you've worked with |
| You never know if it was opened | You see every open, section view and listen, with a timestamp |
| Silence is the usual answer | A named answer within 5 days, with a reason if it's no |
| The employer keeps your file | You own it, choose who sees it and can switch it off any time |
Three short questions, the same for everyone. Up to a minute each, in your own voice. Skip any you like. Audio only, never video, with captions and a transcript you can check before anyone sees it.
One identity check puts a badge on your Pod. Employers never see your documents. You can apply while it's pending.
Ask a former colleague or supervisor to confirm one specific claim. They choose whether it's shown. Their contact details stay private.
Each application has its own timeline in UK time: when the employer opened your Pod, which sections they viewed, which answers they played. They never see where else you've applied.
You don't need a long history, a polished CV or anyone to vouch for you to start. Describe the work in your own words, including work done overseas, informal work and gaps you'd rather not explain.
Show what you can do now, not just the dates. Short spoken answers and a confirmed claim beat polished CV language.
Morgan Ellis, a fictional demo candidate, connects years of customer-facing work to care in their own voice, without a change of direction reading as a gap.
Describe qualifications accurately, including ones still being recognised. We never ask you to claim a UK equivalent you don't have.
A short history is fine. Tick "no formal employment yet", record your answers and share the proof you do have.
Never asked Your age · date of birth · graduation date · a photo of you
Like a job docket, both sides keep the same record. You give an employer your Pod and your attention. They give you a named decision and a reason, by a date you can see.
A guided first pass designed to take around 15 minutes: headline, work timeline, skills, three optional voice answers. It saves as you go.
Filter Birmingham jobs by trade, distance, pay and hours, and by each employer's Public Reply Record, with nothing matched behind the scenes.
See every open and listen. Get an interview invitation or a reasoned rejection within 5 days, from a named person.
Real duties, location, hours and a gross pay range. £99 for 30 days, and only Pods can apply, so PDFs and AI-written piles stay out.
Up to 20 applicants per job, oldest first. Hear each person and check their Vouches, with nothing scored or ranked.
Invite or decline each person individually, with a reason, within 5 days. Your reply record is public.
When a hirer decides, they keep the top copy. You get the carbon: who decided, why, when, and how many of your five days it took.
Before anything is sent, the named Hirer confirms they made the decision after reviewing your application. There's no bulk reject button, and a rejection can't be sent without a written reason.
"I made this decision after reviewing this application." Confirmed by the named Hirer, .
BrumCare Home Support would like to interview you.
"Your answers about helping people and both Vouches match what we need for community visits. We'd like to meet you."

Every eligible application counts, including ones nobody answered and ones the candidate withdrew. A late answer stays late.
Of the answers sent, how many came with a real explanation the candidate could read. Individual reasons are never published.
From application to completed answer, in calendar days. Figures appear only after 5 eligible applications; until then you'll see "Not enough data".
Instead of hundreds of identical AI-written applications, you get a capped, chronological list of verified people you can listen to. In return, you answer every one of them.
You pay nothing to create, own, share or apply with a Pod. You choose who sees it, and you can switch it off any time.
Build my free PodNo. Every voice question is optional, and you can create a Pod and apply without recording anything. If you do record, you hear it back and choose whether to share it.
No. Vouches help, but plenty of people have lost touch with old colleagues or have short histories. They're never a condition of applying.
That CV Pod checked you are who you say you are. Employers see the badge, never your documents. It isn't a right-to-work check, a qualification check or a rating.
After a 48-hour grace period it's recorded as a breach on their public reply record. If they answer later, it's marked late, and the breach still stands.
No. You pay for the post: £99 for 30 days, £149 for 45, or £249 a month for three active posts. All prices exclude VAT.
Yes, and you can send them an update, but a hold doesn't count as your answer and doesn't pause the 5-day clock.
Because a list order is a decision. Applications arrive oldest first so everyone gets the same chance to be heard. You can add up to three private workflow tags.
Yes, with the hiring employer's recorded authority, identifying both agency and employer. An agency can only submit a Pod with the candidate's explicit permission.
We're opening Birmingham sector by sector, as soon as each one has enough live Pod-only jobs to be worth your time. Leave your email and we'll send your link to start.
