The problem your organisation is facing
Demand is up. Budgets are down. Your clients still need to find work.
Public investment in adult careers support has been cut by around 25% since 2009. At the same time the number of people needing employment support has never been higher.
The Department for Work and Pensions has operated with over 2,000 fewer work coaches than it estimated it needed. The pressure on frontline advisors is real and growing.
Three quarters of councils expect significant financial pressure in 2025 and 2026, and many face difficult decisions about which services to protect.
Your advisors are talented. They care deeply. But they are being asked to do more with less, every single year.
“The clients who suffer most are the ones with the hardest stories to tell. The parent home for seven years. The carer who just lost their loved one. The immigrant whose qualifications are not recognised. These people need more than a template. They need a translator. That is what Life2CV is.”
Not enough time
Each CV takes two to three hours with a human advisor. Most clients never get that time. They leave with a template that does not represent them.
Hard to show outcomes
Funders want measurable impact. Without data on what clients receive and what jobs they match to, proving value is difficult. Life2CV produces that data automatically.
Too many clients, too few staff
The demand is not going down. The headcount is not going up. Life2CV is the scalable layer that makes the maths work without burning out your team.
The platform
A career translation tool that does the hard work so your team can focus on the human work.
What your client does
They tell their story. In their own words. By typing or speaking. In three to five minutes. No CV experience needed. No job history required. Just their life, in plain language. Voice input works on any phone.
What Life2CV does
Three expert agents analyse the story, identify professional skills, search the live job market for the best matched roles, and generate a complete career package. CV, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, interview preparation, and business ideas. All specific to this person.
What your team gets
Time back. Every client arrives at their next session with a professional CV already in hand. Your advisors focus on strategy, confidence, and human connection. Not on translating a life story into bullet points.
Average time from life story submission to complete career package: under 60 seconds.
Our partners
Built for every organisation that helps people find their way back to work.
If your mission involves getting people into employment, we built this for you.
Job Centres and Employment Services
Your work coaches are stretched. Life2CV gives every claimant a professional career package on day one, freeing coaches to focus on placement, progression, and the people who need intensive support.
Charities and Third Sector Organisations
Clients arrive with complex histories and no CV at all. Life2CV turns a three minute conversation into a complete professional career package. Your team helps more people without burning out.
Local Councils and Economic Inclusion Teams
Life2CV gives council employment teams a scalable tool to support residents outside formal employment, without adding headcount. Full outcome reporting for commissioning requirements included.
Housing Associations
Embed Life2CV into tenancy support or financial inclusion programmes as a named benefit of living in your community. Your residents get professional career support on their own device at any time.
Colleges and Further Education Providers
Non traditional students. Adult learners. People returning after years away. Life2CV integrates into employability provision as a self serve tool every student can access independently.
Corporate Return to Work Programmes
Give your return to work cohort a professional career package built specifically around their non traditional background. They arrive at the programme ready and confident rather than overwhelmed.
How it works for partners
Simple to deploy. Immediate to use. Measurable from day one.
We set you up
Choose your deployment model. White label, co-branded, or partner referral. We configure the platform for your organisation in five working days.
Your clients use it
Clients access via your referral link, embedded widget, or branded portal. They complete the onboarding in their own time by typing or speaking. Results ready in under 60 seconds.
Your team picks up the conversation
Every client arrives at their next appointment with a skill map, job matches, and CV preview ready. Advisors open at strategy rather than starting from scratch.
You measure the impact
Your partner dashboard shows client volume, completion rates, job match data, and document activity. Export data for funder and commissioner reporting.

Every client on the Career Confident tier receives a complete career package. Not a template. Their actual story, translated into the language that gets them hired.

The financial argument
The most cost effective career support tool available to employment services in the UK.
£70–£255
Cost per CV with a human advisor
A qualified career coach charges £35 to £85 per hour. A proper CV session takes two to three hours. Most clients never get that level of support because the budget and time do not exist.
2,100
Fewer work coaches than needed, DWP estimate
The gap between demand and capacity is structural. Adding headcount is not realistic. A scalable digital tool is the only way to serve every client at the quality level they deserve.

The talent is there. The motivation is there. The problem is almost always the same. The person cannot find the words to describe what they have genuinely done and what they are genuinely capable of.
“Life2CV was built on a single belief. A person who has raised children, cared for family, rebuilt their life, or built skills outside a formal workplace is not unqualified. They are untranslated. We built the translator.”
Your organisation already believes this. Every conversation your advisors have every day is built on this belief. We built the tool that makes that belief scalable.
We put the risk on ourselves.
Every partnership agreement includes a 30 day no risk trial. Deploy Life2CV with up to 25 of your clients in the first 30 days. If your team does not believe it is delivering measurable value, you pay nothing and we part as friends.
We are confident enough to make that offer because we have seen what happens when someone sees their life translated into professional language for the first time. That moment changes people. It changes what they believe is possible. And that change is the foundation of every successful return to work.
Your team creates those moments every day. We want to help you create more of them.
Ready?
Your clients already have the skills. Let us help you show them.
Book a 30 minute demo with our partnerships team. We will show you exactly how Life2CV works, walk through the partner dashboard, and discuss which deployment model fits your organisation best. No obligation. No sales pressure. Just a conversation about whether this is the right tool for the people you serve.
