Why Level Up Exists
Built by elite recruiters.
Designed for those who are tired of guessing.
We’ve led hiring at LinkedIn, GoJek, Microsoft, Coty, Booking.com, BASF, and more. What we saw? Too many good people get overlooked — not for lack of talent, but lack of strategy. So we built Level Up to help you land the role you should be in.
Outcome Matters - Our Track Record.
We’ve helped many candidates land hiring conversations, interviews, and job offers at these companies and more—by getting the fundamentals right.
Real Talks. Real Fixes. No Guesswork.
Career workshops and real-world breakdowns built for busy professionals — sharp, practical, and designed to deliver results, not theory.

CV Workshop - Face to Face (2)
“Your CV must fit on one page.” You’ve probably heard it from career advisors, blogs, even job boards. For fresh graduates, it’s solid advice. But for mid-career or senior professionals, forcing everything into one page is one of the fastest ways to undersell yourself.
