Your CV is lying to everyone — and everyone knows it

Every CV is a marketing document. We all write them the same way: round the numbers up, claim the team win as a personal one, drop the projects that didn’t land. Recruiters know this, so they discount everything by 30%. Candidates know recruiters discount, so they inflate more. It’s an honesty arms race nobody wins.

The result is a market where the loudest CV beats the most capable person. That’s bad for candidates who can actually do the work, and expensive for companies who hire the wrong one.

Proof beats polish

Shapi takes the opposite approach. Instead of helping you write a shinier CV, we verify what’s real: we contact references independently — you don’t choose what they say — and cross-check their answers against your claims. What survives that process is worth more than any bullet point.

When a hiring manager sees “$40M saved, confirmed by two independent referees,” that’s not a claim anymore. It’s evidence. And evidence is the only thing that ends the arms race.

Your skills are real. Let’s make them provable.
