For job seekers

Hand recruiters your CV with one tap.

At a careers fair, an interview or a networking night, they tap your card — or scan the QR on it, if their phone has no NFC — and your CV, LinkedIn and contact details land on their phone before you have finished shaking hands. No paper CV to lose, no details to type.

New role, new CV, new number? Change it once. The card already knows.

What happens to a paper CV at a careers fair

It goes into a pile. By four o'clock the person on the stand has two hundred of them in a tote bag, and the ones that get read are the ones still on top. Nothing about the CV decides that — the order does.

A card changes which pile you are in, because there isn't one. They tap it, or scan the printed QR, and your CV, your LinkedIn and your portfolio are on their phone while you are still standing there. It is on the device they will actually be holding on the train home, rather than in a bag in a car boot.

It also removes the step that loses most people: nobody has to type your email address into anything. Every character somebody has to transcribe is a chance to get it wrong and a reason not to bother.

An illustrative fictional candidate, Sam Brook, meets a recruiter at a careers fair. The contact card and a large panel both carry working QR codes for Sam’s demo profile.
An illustration, not a photograph, and Sam Brook is invented. Both codes in it open the same live demo profile.

Your CV changes weekly. The card keeps up.

During a job hunt the CV is never finished. You tailor it for a role, you add the certificate that came through, you fix the thing a friend spotted. A printed card with a link on it is fixed at the moment it was printed; ours points at a code we resolve, so you update the destination and every card you have already handed out follows.

That includes the ones from a fair three weeks ago, which is usually when somebody actually gets round to looking.

The bit nobody mentions: your current employer

Job hunting while employed is the normal case and it makes people reasonably nervous about a public profile. You can run more than one profile on a single account — one for the job hunt with the CV and portfolio on it, one ordinary one with your work details — and choose which a given card points at. You can also switch a card off from the dashboard entirely, at any moment, and it stops opening anything.

None of that requires a new account or a second card. The privacy controls cover what is visible and what is not.

And when you get the job

The card does not become waste. Point it at your new work details and it is simply your contact card — same object, same code, different destination. That is worth saying because the obvious objection to buying a card for a job hunt is that the job hunt ends. What happens when your details change explains why that works.

Sam Brook’s fictional job-seeker kit includes a contact card and CV, each with a working QR code to the seeded job-seeker demo.
An illustration, not a photograph. The card and the printed CV carry the same code, so either one opens the profile.

What it costs

£24 for plastic, £35 for bamboo, £59 for metal — paid once, posted free in the UK, with no subscription. The profile, the QR and the analytics are free whether you buy a card or not, so you can build the profile tonight and share it by QR at the next fair before spending anything. Full pricing.

The bit that ages well

The card never changes. Where it points does.

This is the difference between a card you own and a card you are stuck with, and it is worth understanding before you buy anybody’s.

A cheap NFC card

The web address is written onto the chip itself. That is why it is cheap, and it works fine — right up until something changes.

  • New number? The card still points at the old page.
  • To fix it you need every card physically back in your hand.
  • Some sellers say “reprogrammable” — that means you re-encode each one yourself with a phone app.
  • Lost one? It carries on working for whoever picked it up.

One of ours

The chip carries a permanent code, and we decide what that code opens. The card is a key; the lock is ours to change.

  • New number, new role, new company — change it once, in a browser.
  • Every card you have ever handed out follows, including the ones you will never see again.
  • Point a card at a different profile entirely, whenever you like.
  • Lost one? Switch it off from your dashboard and it stops opening anything.

Which is why we can sell you a card and then never charge you again: the thing that keeps it working is not a subscription, it is that the destination was never on the chip. What happens when you change your number goes through all three arrangements in full.

Common questions

Is a card not a bit much for a graduate?

It is one card, bought once, and the thing it replaces is a stack of printed CVs that mostly get recycled. At a fair it is the difference between being in a pile and being on somebody's phone.

What if the recruiter's phone will not tap?

Every card has a printed QR as well as the chip, going to the same place. Older and locked-down work phones read the code with the camera.

Can I hide it from my current employer?

You can run a separate profile for the job hunt and point the card at that, and you can switch a card off from your dashboard at any time so it stops opening anything at all.

Does it still work after I have got a job?

Yes — point it at your new details and it becomes your ordinary contact card. The code stays the same; only the destination changes.

Cards for networking covers the same object outside a job hunt, and QR code sharing the scanning side.
