Our CV tool creates a professional profile — even if you don't have Word or a PDF.

Why do you need a CV?

Clients want to know who they're bringing into their factory or workshop. A clear CV with roles, years of experience, certificates and languages speeds up the matching process enormously. No CV? No problem — our CV tool creates one with you in 5 minutes.

The CV tool: step by step

Step 1 — Personal details

Enter your name, phone, email, place of residence and date of birth. We don't ask for a photo (anti-discrimination).

Step 2 — Work experience

For each job: company, role, period (month/year), and 2–3 sentences about what you did. For example: "MIG/MAG welding on steel 4–20 mm, daily production of industrial frames, working to NEN-EN ISO 9606."

Step 3 — Certificates

Upload or tick: VCA Basis, VCA VOL, forklift certificate (TCVT), welding certificates (per process and material), reach truck, BHV, code 95, and so on. Valid until when? Enter the expiry date so we can help you renew in good time.

Step 4 — Languages & education

Which languages do you speak and at what level (A1 to C2)? Which education have you completed? Diplomas aren't necessary — your word is enough for most roles.

Tip: The more specific you are about machine types (Mazak, Trumpf, Mitsubishi etc.) and welding processes, the faster we find the right match.
