Talent pool
Put your CV in front of employers.
Upload it once. Employers hiring on Ascend search the pool in plain language and contact you directly — no account, no password, and you can remove it at any time.
- We confirm by emailing the address on your CV
- No employer sees it until you confirm
- One link removes it, forever
Add your CV
PDF, Word (.docx) or plain text — up to 5MB.

How it works
Three things worth knowing before you upload.
- We read the email address on your CV and send a confirmation link to it — never to an address typed into this page. That is what stops anyone else uploading your CV and claiming it.
- Your CV is not in the pool, and no employer can see it, until you open that link. If you never do, we delete it within 48 hours.
- Every email we send carries a link that removes your CV completely. No account, no password, and no form to fill in.
Your data
What we keep, and what we throw away.
- Who can see my CV?
- Employers with an Ascend account, once you have confirmed. They see your experience and how to contact you. You can ask us which of them were shown your CV — we keep that record precisely so that we can answer.
- Do you keep the file I upload?
- No. We read the document, strip out the things an employer has no business deciding on — date of birth, sex, marital status, religion, photographs — and keep only the remaining text. The original file is never stored and cannot be downloaded by anyone.
- How do I remove it?
- Open the link at the bottom of any email we have sent you and confirm. It is deleted outright, not hidden or flagged, and employers stop finding it immediately.
- How long do you keep it?
- Two years from your last activity, and we write to you before that happens. An upload nobody confirms is deleted within 48 hours.
- Will you email me about anything else?
- No. We send you two things: the link that confirms your CV, and the link that removes it. No newsletters and no job alerts. Anything else comes from an employer, directly to you. Questions to [email protected].
