From the other side of the table

Somebody wrote down
why you didn't get the job.

You are the only person who never reads it.

A dossier is the file they keep on you. This one is yours. We build it first, from your record and the job you're going for, so you walk in already knowing what it probably says.

The secret

Every serious hiring decision
produces a written assessment of you.

Candidate assessmentConfidential
Read on the candidate

Strong technical foundation. Presents well. Struggled to separate what she owned from what her team owned.

Committee view

Two members read the same answer as a lack of ownership. Recommend proceeding with the other shortlisted candidate.

What would have changed it

One concrete example, with named counterparties and a sequence.

Not circulated to the candidate

One sentence in this report cost her the job.

It went to everyone in the room. It never went to her. She still doesn't know which sentence it was.

What interviews really test

They weren't better than you.
They knew what the interviewers were judging.

What they actually judge

How clearly you can explain what you did, when people push on the details.

What everybody thinks they judge

Whether you'd be good at the job. Everyone assumes it does. It doesn't.

The gap between those two can be closed. It's a way of answering questions, and it can be learned. Most people never learn it, because nobody has ever shown them the document it produces.

Who this is for

If one of these sounds like you,
keep reading.

01Final round, no reasonYou made it to the last stage, and nobody told you the real reason it stopped there.
02Up for a promotionAnd more people are involved in the decision than you're used to.
03Years at one companyYou no longer know how you look to employers outside it.
04Approached about something biggerAnd you're not sure you're ready.
05One line on your recordThe one you hope nobody asks about. They will.
06Nothing's wrong, exactlyYou'd just like to stop reconstructing your career from memory.

We never place you and take no fee from any employer. There's no other side to this.

What you get

What holds up, and what they'll push on.

What holds up

Grew the team from two people to nineteen, across three markets.

Made the business case, not just delivered the work.

Names of people who can confirm it.

What they'll push on

"Led" versus "managed" will be tested. The interviewer has run teams this size, and will probe it fast.

Success inside one company isn't yet proof it transfers.

The three month role. They will ask.

Nobody enjoys reading the second list. That's exactly why it's there.

Before a person sees you

Software reads you before people do.
Give it something good.

01The applicant tracking system
02The LinkedIn ranking
03The recruiter's AI
04The summary a committee pasted you into

Build the file once. All four read the best version of you. This is the reason to build one when you're not even interviewing.

Not only interviews

Promotions are decided on paper.
Not in the meeting.

Write it down the week it happens

When you're up for a promotion, someone builds a case for you, and the case is made of specifics. What you handled, when, and what came of it.

Keep the details the week they happen. Six months later they're gone.

Why keep it when you're not job hunting

Because the next step usually arrives while you're busy doing the current job. A promotion case, a recruiter's call, a reorganization. All of them go better with a record already in hand.

You can't rebuild a year of work from memory.

Why it's different

How we write your file:
three simple rules.

Facts and opinions never mix

First we write what you did. Only then, what it means.

Nothing goes in without proof

Every line needs a date, a number, or a person who can back it up.

Strengths are honest about their limits

Great at one company doesn't automatically mean great at the next. Your file says how far each strength travels.

This isn't interview coaching. It's the evidence that makes every interview easier.

What it tracks

Six things we track.

It all comes down to the gap between what your history proves and what it only implies.

01EvidenceWhat you actually did, tied to a document, a number, or a person who can confirm it.
02InterpretationWhat that probably says about you, kept separate, so it's visible which parts are fact and which are a reading of it.
03TransferabilityWhere the evidence carries and where it doesn't. Succeeding inside one company isn't the same as proving it somewhere else, and a committee knows the difference.
04GapsWhat's claimed but not yet proven, written as something testable, with three to five ways to close it inside ninety days.
05LearningWhat changed your mind or your behaviour, kept alongside the earlier version rather than replacing it. Nobody has ever written this down about themselves.
06TrajectoryWhat's becoming more true over time. It starts empty, and it's why the file is worth more in year three than on the day you built it.

Ten minutes a week

Stop rebuilding your career
from memory.

What did you do that somebody else couldn't have done. What did it prove. What did you get wrong. And what can you still not demonstrate.

Firms keep a record like this. Nobody has ever kept one for a person.

Who really decides

The person who interviews you
rarely decides.

Out in the field

A recruiter or hiring manager meets you, forms a view, and writes it down. That document travels to people you'll never meet.

In the room

Committees, partners and boards decide from the write up, long after the conversation is over. Your file is built for exactly that reader.

Ownership

Nobody sees it but you.

Private

No employer, no recruiter, nobody. Ever.

Yours to take or delete

Export the whole thing whenever you like. Or wipe it. Your call.

We never place you

We take no fee from any employer, ever. There's no other side to this.

What you won't get

No retainers. No package sessions. No ghostwritten answers. And no telling you what you want to hear.

What it costs

Pay for the file once.
Add help only when you need it.

Three ways to buy. Pick the one that matches your moment.

Start here · The File
$79
The first read

An honest read on where you stand, before it costs you anything. It's not a personality test and it's not a rewritten resume. Credited in full if you add interview help for a real job within 30 days, so you never pay twice.

The moment: passed over, never told why
When a role is live · The Role
$149
One fee, per role

Point it at the job you're actually going for. What the interviewers care about, the four questions you're dreading, and the stories to have ready. Includes building the file.

The moment: an interview is on the calendar
Keep it alive · The Record
$290 / year
Members add a role for $119

Write wins down the week they happen, while the details are still fresh. Your record carries between jobs, and interview help is there whenever the next conversation starts.

The moment: something just happened

The Record is the only one you can't backfill later. Miss the week and the week is gone.

One hour with an executive coach runs four to seven hundred dollars, and ends when the hour does. For $149 you get the whole interview process, first phone screen to final offer, and the file stays yours.

Who built it

We're the ones from the
other side of the table.

Twenty five years of writing hiring assessments turned into a method. Facts first, proof required, strengths honest about their limits.

The difference now: the file is for you, not about you.

They're going to write a file about you. OneDossier lets you see it first.

Your career deserves a better record than memory.
