UseVerb

Talent stands out in seconds, saving you hours.
Job boards get you resumes, UseVerb finds you Talent. See who’s applying!

I believe we’ve all got something special inside.
Seeing is believing and if you go to the effort, you deserve a chance to be seen and heard. 

When it comes to job seeking and employing staff we’re all investing in our future, who we are, who they are and what magic can be done together.

Let me ask this..

When you first receive a resume application that you like, what’s the next thing you want to know?

If you’re like us, it’s “who is this person?” What do the look like, sound like? Will they be good for the team?

That’s where previously you would social stalk people.. 

The old way’s broken.

In authentic and AI writes the resumes now anyway.

UseVerb offers a brand new way

Allowing people who actually want to work to stand out, say “Hello!” And authentically introduce themselves. 

Introductions, not life stories UseVerb.com

Giving job seekers a chance to be seen and heard.

And employers the chance to meet everyone, with more information than a resume. 

Works with all hiring processes and jobs

We’ve not shrunk, we’ve collapsed the time to hire.

If you’re hiring or applying.. you must try UseVerb!

From 2003 and on into 2005, I was was lucky enough to be involved in a dynamic period of a West Australian Technology Success story. Initially engaged as a Jnr. electronic design engineer, I lasted a week, before on Friday afternoon Steve Rakoczy, the MD, asked me to review a Vietnamese tender. When I delivered results back inside the afternoon, I believe accurately, I started Monday in a fresh new office of my own upstairs! Thus the adventure began.

This was an exciting fast paced learn, apply, challenge - rise above period of my life. Completely new to this industry I flew out to Project Manage and Install and Commission a project in Singapore within the month. This was successfully delivered inside expectations.

As a Deloitte Tech 200 company, I was lucky to work with amazing teams, leading experts in the fields of electronics, software, international business and meteorology to name just a few.

Highlights included, many relationships made. Including a spot on 60 Minutes, representing Australian export to Eastern Europe, with my work in the area, fostering stronger bus. and gov. relationships between our countries. Another was being a presenter and Australian representative in a team of 5, in Australia's multi $B bid for China's airport expansion projects. I personally enjoyed a well timed stop over at Octoberfest in Munich on a layover :)

Background:

With a history in building good teams, I discovered they all had something special in common... great people.

So I revisited the fundamentals of recruiting and discovered something!

Thesis:
People don't hire resumes or cover letters, they hire people.

Seems simple right.. then how come Jobs ask you to submit a resume.. not say hello and introduce yourself?

at UseVerb we've changed the way people hire & apply for #jobs. 

AI has killed the resume, the cover letter and any hope of a personal written introduction. Authenticity & who you are count. 

For me, technology holds the power to transform and empower us.
But it's people who count, they make the difference and there is no substitute for hard work.

My strategy:
It's simple: be real, work hard, create value.


Over the past 27 years, I landed my dream jobs, dealt with rejection and grew to found my own companies, building great teams with amazing people.

But then; reaching for the stars…
I screwed up & lost it all. - It’s truly humbling to be broke, over qualified and well, starting again.

Recognized in a few cool awards inc. 40 Under 40 Business News Awards, E&Y Young Entrepreneur of the Year and Young Engineer of the Year..

I'm a robotics engineer, with a weirdly wired brain, that's social technical. Left & right hemisphered. I polarize, entertain, irritate - some love me, others hate me - I simply give & share.

We've all got something special inside.

Let's discover how to be it on the outside.
