How does swipeandhired work?

You set your target roles, salary floor and locations once. swipeandhired scores matching postings against your profile, drafts tailored application materials with AI, and either lets you swipe to apply, one tap at a time, or runs fully on autopilot. Every application is tracked in your dashboard.

Which ATS platforms does swipeandhired support?

All of them. swipeandhired applies on every applicant tracking system (ATS) employers use, including Workday, SmartRecruiters, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Lever, Ashby, Taleo, SuccessFactors, Oracle Cloud and Jobvite, and on a company's own careers page when it uses none of them. You can also bring any posting yourself by link or pasted text.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Anytime, in one click from the billing portal in Settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period. No retention calls, no dark patterns.

Is my data used for training AI models?

No. Your resume and application data are processed only to run the service for you, matching, drafting, and submitting applications. We never sell your data. If you bring your own AI provider key, requests go directly to your provider under their terms.

About ALAIKA

At ALAIKA, our vision is to build the future of Financial Services with three brands under one roof — Advisory (Strategy Consulting), Capital (Private Equity), Building (Company Builder). Right now, we are in the midst of building our trojan horse ALAIKA Advisory.

The ambition: building the leading Financial-Services-specific entrepreneurial holding — Fortune 500 access, PE discipline, Silicon Valley technology-depth and thinking. Three networks that compound and multiply.

One industry. Financial Services. Nothing else.

One focus. The intersection of business and technology — across Strategic Transformations, AI & Data Intelligence, and Cybersecurity.

One goal. Being the go-to partner for the world's leading Fortune 500 financial services companies — and the ones we might help build into that.

Founded in October 2022 by Johanna von Geyr (build-up and led Financial Services Practice for a NASDAQ-listed strategy consultancy) and Harald Braunstein (serial entrepreneur with exits incl. IPO), we bring together deep functional domain expertise and networks in global Financial Services, with a proven track record in building, scaling, and investing in leading software product companies.

The role and what you will work on

Advise. Take on the most pressing strategic and technology challenges of the world’s leading financial services companies — across Strategy, Data & AI, and Cyber, with deep Financial Servicesdomain expertise as your anchor . You are the guiding thought leader for your clients’ topics before the problem is fully defined.

Own. Own client holding groups end-to-end — the relationships, the revenue, the team, the outcomes. You do not own pieces or projects; you own accounts.

Lead. Run project teams and large key initiatives. Set the standard for your team — challenge them, develop them, raise their game. Multiply the output of everyone around you — not just your own.

Sell. Own the full sales process end-to-end, independent of deal size. Open new buying centers. Originate mandates. Turn one client into three. Your pipeline is your business — and you run it like one.

Connect. Industry-shaping relationships. C-suite at the leading Financial Services firms. Your network walks in with you, extends with the role, and becomes the platform for everything the practice does next.

Grow. Sharpen the rare profile the market is short on — analytical mastermind, data & AI expert, entrepreneurial dealmaker. The partner promotion for you is not a question of IF. It is a question of WHEN.

Build. We are scaling, with real building left to do — IP, processes, go-to-market, strategy. You are a strategic partner in shaping what ALAIKA becomes . That is not a slogan — it is your Tuesday.

When you are a fit

“Show me an athlete who did well academically. An athlete because they know what it takes to win and they have had to experience loss.”

— Kenneth C. Griffin, Founder of Citadel

You will work alongside intrinsically driven people chasing an uncapped career — people who do "what it takes". You fear "being one more number stuck in middle management".

Book-smart. Strong academic foundation. Think in structures, not gut feel.

Street-smart. Read the room fast. Prioritise ruthlessly. Grasp commercial reality.

People-smart. Communicate with precision — clear, direct, persuasive. Build trust across functions and seniority.

Athlete performance mindset. High aspirations. Grit. Learn faster than the environment changes.

Entrepreneurial guts. You have built something, owned something, or bet on yourself at some point — and it shows in how you operate. P&L is not an abstraction. Ambiguity is not a problem. Youmove.

What you bring

Background. Outstanding degree in an analytical field from a top-tier university, or a track record that speaks for itself.

Track Record. A track record of building a leading practice at a strategic consultancy or major Financial Services firm.

Senior Network. Established C-Level and Tier 1-3 relationships across financial services. Your network walks in with you.

Sales Track Record. Proven ability to originate and close mandates at €2m+ scale. You have built a book before.

Leadership. You have hired, developed, and graduated, as well as made the hard calls on people. You understand that it is your task to build the best sports team — not a family.

Analytical edge. Data-driven by default. Leverage data to drive decisions, not just decorate slides and / or make sure your team does not.

Languages. Fluent in English and German. Additional languages are a plus.
