Landed Senior Engineer role at Amsterdam fintech
Adyen · Senior Software Engineer
Amsterdam, NL
“After 6 months of unsuccessful applications, I uploaded my CV to Coactivy and got matched to Adyen with a 91% score. The AI interview prep was the real game-changer — it generated exact questions Adyen asks and I went in fully prepared. Accepted the offer within 3 weeks.”
From redundancy to dream job in 5 weeks
Booking.com · Product Manager
Amsterdam, NL
“I was made redundant and felt completely lost. The AI coaching sessions helped me rebuild my confidence and clarify my strategy. The salary benchmarking tool showed I was worth 22% more than I'd been asking. Got the offer — and negotiated it up even further.”
Finance to tech transition — placed in 8 weeks
ASML · Business Analyst
Eindhoven, NL
“Switching industries felt impossible until I found Coactivy. The mentor I booked specialised in finance-to-tech transitions and helped me reframe my entire experience. Completing a skill assessment proved my analytical abilities to employers. Mock interviews with the AI were brutally honest and perfectly prepared me.”
First tech role after bootcamp — offer in 19 days
Coolblue · Junior Frontend Developer
Rotterdam, NL
“As a bootcamp graduate I assumed CS degree holders would always beat me. Coactivy's AI recommendations surfaced roles where a strong portfolio mattered more than credentials. The AI tailored my CV for each application, highlighting exactly the right projects. Job offer in under 3 weeks.”
Relocated from Germany and doubled my salary
Philips · Data Scientist
Eindhoven, NL
“The salary benchmarking tool showed me exactly what Data Scientists earn in the Netherlands versus Germany. Armed with market data I negotiated with confidence. Job alerts for Amsterdam and Eindhoven delivered relevant openings every morning. I had three interviews lined up within the first fortnight.”
40 rejections to 3 simultaneous offers
Spotify · UX Designer
Amsterdam, NL
“I'd applied to 40 companies with zero success. Coactivy's CV score revealed my ATS pass rate was just 34% — no wonder I wasn't getting calls. After rebuilding with the AI resume builder and tailoring each application, my ATS score reached 88%. Three offers followed in quick succession.”
Used insider connections to fast-track to final round
Shell · Digital Transformation Lead
The Hague, NL
“I spotted a Shell opening and immediately used Coactivy's insider connections feature to find a current employee in my target division. That warm introduction skipped two screening stages. Pair that with the company research tool giving me deep insight into Shell's strategy, and I walked into every interview fully prepared.”
Career program transformed my job search fundamentals
ING Bank · Agile Coach
Amsterdam, NL
“I enrolled in Coactivy's 8-week career accelerator while still employed. The structured program kept me accountable — one milestone per week. By week 5 I had a polished portfolio site and three referrals. By week 8 I had an offer from ING at a higher level than I'd targeted.”
Video practice eliminated my interview anxiety
Heineken · Supply Chain Manager
Amsterdam, NL
“I've always struggled with nerves in interviews. Coactivy's AI video practice let me rehearse realistic scenarios over and over until I felt genuinely comfortable on camera. The AI cover letter tool meant every application had a compelling, tailored opening. Heineken's recruiter specifically mentioned my cover letter stood out.”
Interview copilot gave me real-time confidence
KPMG · Risk Advisory Manager
Amsterdam, NL
“During a live video interview I used the interview copilot to receive discreet hints when I paused on a technical question about Basel III frameworks. It surfaced the key points I'd rehearsed in preparation. The combination of AI-matched job alerts and thorough interview preparation made every application count.”
