George Gourley

I fell into DACH recruiting after finishing my maths degree at a top university. I stayed because I found an industry that I was passionate about. Then, I started building the things I wished existed: tools that score a CV the way I actually read it, a CRM that matches on meaning, and an ATS checker so job-seekers can see behind the curtain.

I stick to the tech niche, and I know it deeply.

From the very first conversation, he took the time to understand my background, career goals, and what I was truly looking for. He was incredibly supportive, transparent, and proactive — always keeping me updated and offering valuable insights that made a real difference.
