For job seekers in Australia, New Zealand and the UK
Be seen by a person, not filtered by a machine. One link proves you're a real person, lets employers hear you in your own voice, shows proof of your work, and tells you when a human looked.

"I've spent 26 years on warehouse floors, starting on the dock and ending up supervising shifts. What I like best is making a busy day run smoothly."Transcript made automatically. The recording is what he said.
The problem
Candidates now use AI to write their CVs. Employers use AI to reject them. One job draws hundreds of identical applications, and most people are turned down without speaking to anyone. Nobody can tell who is real, and nobody has to answer.
What CV Pod is
Every Pod belongs to a verified person. Hear them in their own voice.
Verified real personThree short recordings and proof of their work, with a clear note on how each piece was backed.
Every employer promises a human decision within 7, 10 or 14 days. Their record is public.

Inside a Pod
Your Pod lives at cvpod.com/p/your-name. Make it once and send it anywhere, or apply to pod-only jobs with one click.
A quick ID photo and live selfie check gives you the "Verified real person" badge. Employers see the badge and your verified name. They never see your ID.
Three answers of about a minute each, on video or voice only, your choice. Each one is a live take with a few retries, so it's clearly you talking. A transcript appears beside each recording.
What have you actually done in your work? · Tell us about a problem you solved. · What do you want to do next?
Up to five pieces of proof: links, files or photos of real work. Mark each one self-declared, or send it to a former manager to confirm with one click. "Self-declared" never looks like "Confirmed".
Plain text, no PDF needed. Beside it, one honest toggle: "AI helped me write this", yes or no. AI help is fine, as long as it's disclosed. It never counts against you.

Sample Pod · prototype placeholder recordings
A confirmed item names the person who clicked, their role and the date. A self-declared item says exactly that, and it's perfectly honest. A Pod with no proof at all is still a valid Pod.
If a referee declines, employers just see "Self-declared". Only you are told.
How it works
Type your email and we send a sign-in link. No password to remember.
An ID photo and a live selfie, about three minutes. Employers only ever see the badge and your verified name.
About a minute each, video or voice only. You get three takes per question and can preview before you keep one.
Write it the way you'd say it. Add up to five pieces of proof and ask a former manager to confirm any of them.
Share cvpod.com/p/your-name anywhere, or apply to pod-only jobs with one click. You can check each employer's reply record first.
Receipts show which company opened your Pod, when, for how long, and which recordings they played. Pause or revoke any link, any time.
A business email and your ABN, NZBN or Companies House number. About two minutes.
Pick 7, 10 or 14 days. Every applicant gets a human decision within that window. It can't be changed once the post opens.
Pods appear in the order people applied, with no scores and no AI ordering. Filter by location, availability or verified proof.
Up to three questions per applicant. The Pod answers only with the candidate's own words, says plainly when it doesn't know, and asks them to record a reply.
Shortlist, Interview, or Decline with a reason picked from a list. No bulk decline, no auto-reject.
Percentage answered, average days to reply, jobs closed without a hire. Candidates read it before they apply.

CV Pod never scores or judges how you look or sound.
Who it's for
A keyword filter is least kind to these people, and a few minutes of listening is most generous. CV Pod is free for them, always.
Portraits show the kinds of people CV Pod is built for. Named people are fictional sample personas from our prototype.
Seen by a person
Silence is the worst part of job hunting. Your receipts show which company opened your Pod, when, for how long, and which answers they played. It's never paywalled, and nobody is ranked by it.
Make a separate link for each person you send it to, and your receipts will show exactly who looked. Pausing or revoking a link takes effect within 15 seconds.

For employers
Verified people with their voices and proof in front of you. Every applicant owed a human decision in 7, 10 or 14 days. A public record that proves you answer.
No scores. No match percentages. Nothing moves a card up the list, including payment.
Ask about what Graham has shared. The Pod repeats their words. It doesn't judge or guess.
Every decline is clicked by a person, with a reason from a list.
For referees
A former manager gets one email. They see your name and the single claim, then confirm it, fix the wording or decline. They never see your Pod.
Named as: former operations manager
"Ran dispatch for a 40-person warehouse team"Employers who view this Pod will see your name, your role and the date. They won't see your email.
This link works once and lasts 14 days.
Our ground rules
Each rule is backed by something the product actually does. Read how we keep them, and check for yourself.
How it's enforced: applicant lists are ordered only by when people applied. Software does three small jobs: it matches a selfie to an ID once, writes a transcript, and quotes your own words back.
How it's enforced: link controls and a receipt trail. Employers can't browse Pods. They see only people who applied or sent them a link.
How it's enforced: one person, one click, one of seven fixed reasons. No bulk decline, no auto-reject. You see who decided.
How it's enforced: every company page shows its numbers and its breaches. No one can edit or delete an entry, including CV Pod staff.
How it's enforced: the "AI helped me write this" yes/no sits beside your CV. It's disclosure only and never lowers anything.
Revoking a link can't take back what someone has already seen. The badge proves a real person at the time of the check, and we don't run deepfake detection. The reply record measures replying, not hiring fairness or workplace quality.
Pricing
Paying never buys ranking, placement, extra questions or a different reply record. CV Pod takes nothing from any hire.

No. Our verification provider checks your ID photo against a live selfie once. Employers only see the "Verified real person" badge and your verified name. The provider deletes the images within 24 hours.
No. Choose voice only for any answer. It gets exactly the same space and weight as video, and a transcript sits beside it either way.
Every pod-only job carries a pledge. If the employer misses it, a breach is written to their public record and stays there. They can still reply, and you can withdraw any time.
Yes. Shortlist, Interview and Decline are all human decisions that meet the pledge. A decline always comes with a reason from a fixed list.
