Notch helped Candid build a human-led AI powered CV platform, which generates high-quality, ATS-friendly CVs and cover letters for the employability sector, using Pydantic-AI/CopilotKit and OpenAI.
Candid is a UK-based company transforming employability support through ethical, human-led AI. It helps advisors create accurate, strengths-based, bias-aware CVs that reflect each person’s story and enable them to share it faster and more effectively.
Employability professionals aid people facing barriers to employment. Converting personal stories into CVs was slow, admin-heavy, and poorly served by generic AI. Caseworkers needed a bespoke and efficient tool to ensure that every participant’s story is heard and authentically represented.
A custom agentic AI system, trained by expert CV writers, that generates tailored CVs in minutes based on client personality, skills, and experience. It offers full editorial control, role-specific tweaks, and team dashboards for management visibility.
Aligning goals & ideas with stakeholders, and setting directions for explorations using Design thinking and Continuous discovery techniques.
A time-boxed POC, led by Notch’s VP of AI, brought together AI engineers, designers, and business analysts to explore ten focused scenarios.
A structured process, bringing together stakeholders, advisors, and designers to surface real user needs and translate the validated insights into a functional framework.
Creating a CV with Candid is simple and human‑centred. Caseworkers enter client details, and the platform generates a tailored CV with suggestions and instant rewording. CVs are adaptable for roles, and managers track CVs and profiles, saving time and improving employability.
