Why this is different

01

Headhunter first. Coach second.

Most career advice comes from people who have never sourced a candidate. Dov spent 10 years on the other side of the table. He knows what hiring teams look for and what makes them ignore you.

02

You have a buddy

Every participant is paired with someone for the full experience. Your thinking partner, your accountability partner, your first audience. You will not go through this alone.

03

A private community, not a Facebook group

Your group lives on Heartbeat. Private, focused, professional. Chat, share progress, and continue conversations between sessions without the noise.

04

Fun work between sessions

Short tasks, prompts and resources dropped into Heartbeat every couple of days. Not heavy. But if you do them, you will get significantly more out of every live session.

05

AI as a thinking partner, not a shortcut

Every CV sounds the same right now because people are using AI generically. You will learn to use it in a way that brings more of you out, not less.

06

You build a system, not a CV

By the end you will have a personal knowledge base, a job evaluation script, and a tracker. Tools you keep and use long after the sessions end.

Four sessions. One system.

Each session is 90 minutes of live, practical work.

Who is this for?

For anyone actively looking for their next role, whether employed or between roles.

01

Feeling stuck

You know something needs to change. You just have not made the move yet. This experience will help you get clear before you even start applying.

02

Employed and looking

You are not desperate. You are strategic. You want to move up or move on, on your own terms.

03

Actively applying

You send CVs into the void. You get silence. You suspect the system is broken, and you are right.

04

AI? Not sure

You know AI can help. You just do not want to sound like everyone else who is also using it.

Dov Zavadskis

Dov has been on both sides of the table. When looking for a job in the UK, he chose fewer applications over mass applying. The feedback he consistently received: refreshingly authentic. It worked.

He then spent 10 years as a headhunter, finding hard-to-find talent across Europe for brands like Western Union, Adidas, and Expedia. He knows exactly what makes a recruiter stop scrolling.

Beginning in July 2023, Dov has been teaching businesses how to use generative AI through Befriend AI. This live cohort experience is where all three worlds come together.

What you will need

Four tools. Claude Pro is the only paid one. Total cost: around €18 for the first month.

Claude Pro

Your AI thinking partner. We will build your personal career knowledge base inside a Claude project from day one.

Wispr Flow

Voice-to-text that lets you think out loud. No more staring at a blank page trying to describe your own experience.

Airtable

Your job search tracker. Every application, stage and interaction logged and connected to Claude automatically.

Notion

For capturing notes, research, and useful content in one place. Your text-based second brain alongside the process.

FAQ

Is this a course or a live experience? +

It is a blend of both. Sessions happen live as a group. Between sessions, you get additional content and tasks on Heartbeat to go through in your own time. The more you put in, the more you get out.

What if I cannot attend all sessions? +

Show up to as many as you can. Recordings are available on Heartbeat for as long as you are part of the community.

What language are the sessions in? +

English. Future cohorts will offer language options.

Do I need Claude Pro before I join? +

Yes. You will need Claude Pro (~€18/month) and Wispr Flow (free first month via referral). Both are set up before Session One with guidance from Dov.

Can I use ChatGPT instead of Claude? +

Some exercises will work, but the experience is built around Claude. It works significantly better for what we are doing here.

Do I need to be an ALE member to join the trial? +

The trial cohort is exclusively for the Agile Lean Europe community. The public launch will be open to everyone. Know someone outside ALE who would benefit? Share their details and we will add them to the waiting list.

How does pay what you can work? +

You go through the full experience first. At the end, you decide what it was worth. The minimum is €1, so you are always in control. We ask for honest feedback and a testimonial in return.

I am not a tech person. Is this still for me? +

Absolutely. The goal is to explain everything in the simplest way possible, with no tech jargon. If you can type and talk, you are ready.

I have been out of the job market for a while. Is it too late? +

It is never too late. Sometimes all it takes is an extra nudge. That is what this experience is here for.

Will I have access to the recordings after the sessions? +

Yes. Recordings are available on Heartbeat for as long as you are part of the community. Unlike many courses that remove access over time, we keep everything available. Keep in mind that some AI-related content may evolve as tools change, but the core session recordings will remain yours.

What happens after the trial cohort? +

New cohorts will be planned with different dates and language options. You will be able to choose your experience tier and apply. It will not be free, but the quality of the experience will be the same.
