FirstRole Get Your Portfolio
For Employers, Recruiters & Careers Teams

See the evidence before the interview

FirstRole helps candidates present the parts of themselves that CVs usually flatten: initiative, communication, experience, personality, and direction.

⏱

Reduce CV blind spots

A portfolio gives you a faster way to understand how a graduate thinks, what they have built, and how they present themselves professionally.

  • ✓ Better context around experience and activities
  • ✓ Easier to prepare stronger interview questions
  • ✓ More useful than another identical application attachment
