Roast uploads are coming next. Creating an account saves your spot.
Truth bomb loaded.
A sample roast screen. No real applicant CV is shown here.
Job title
“Marketing Ninja / Operations Guru”
Recruiters need the actual role before the superhero origin story.
Fix first
Lead with a clear target role and evidence.
How it works
No generic motivational poster. Just a clear sequence from the CV you have to the application you want to send.
01
Drop the current draft when uploads launch. PDF only—quick, simple, no public posting.
02
See what feels vague, dated or confusing before a recruiter has to decode it.
03
If you want the comeback, select a SA ATS rewrite package. No checkout is live yet.
The roast is never personal
A bad draft is fixable. The jokes are aimed at the habits keeping good candidates hidden—not at where you're from, what you studied or where you are in your career.

Too much info
Your ID number, full home address and star sign can sit this one out.

A load-shedding excuse is not an achievement bullet. Let’s find the real one.

Your CV stays yours
The future upload flow is designed so you can remove your CV. We never use real candidate CV data as marketing content, and nothing you upload is public by default.
