Meet Gordon

Gordon does the talking. I'm the recruiter behind him.

Gordon is an AI character. Every word he says comes from 27 years of placing engineers, and 15 years before that writing firmware myself.

Gordon handles the conversations. The logic is entirely mine.

Every word he says is backed by 15 years writing firmware myself and 27 years placing engineers. You are not talking to a generic algorithm. You are talking to 42 years of real industry experience.

Why Gordon

The same mistakes cost good engineers the interview.

Duties instead of results. Skills with no proof. The best work buried on page two. I read hundreds of engineering resumes a year and most candidates have no idea they are making these mistakes.

I cannot sit down with every engineer one on one, so Gordon says what I would say, the way a hiring manager actually thinks it. He is more direct than I am. He is also right.

Two ways forward

Choose public feedback or a private rewrite.

Get your resume roasted

Send it in and Gordon may read it on camera, anonymised, and tell you what he saw in the first six seconds. Free, public, direct.

Roast my resume

Have it fixed properly

From $349 USD

Skip the audience. I rewrite it privately for the roles you're targeting, built on what hiring managers in embedded, firmware, FPGA and robotics respond to.

Fix my resume
Resume roast

Send Gordon your resume.

Not every resume gets featured. Files are deleted once the episode is done. Want private feedback instead? Use the fix option above.

Is Gordon a real person?
No. Gordon is an AI character, and he says so on every profile. The advice is real and it is mine, from 27 years of hiring engineers.
Will people know it's my resume?
No. Before anything goes on screen, I remove your name, contact details, employer names and anything else that could identify you.
What if I don't want to be roasted in public?
Then choose the private fix. Nobody sees your resume except me.
Who is this for?
Engineers in embedded, firmware, hardware, FPGA, DSP and robotics. That's the world I've recruited in for 27 years.
