Your job search, run like a campaign.
Before does the research, the timing and the writing. All you do is send.
Start each morning knowing exactly what to do.
Before picks up to three actions for the day, in order: a follow-up that's due, a reply to answer, a company that's just been in the news. Tick them off as you go.
- Three things, not thirty. The most important actions across your whole list.
- A weekly target. Five actions a week, with a ring that fills as you go.
- News on your companies. What happened, why it matters to you, and your window to act.
Know who's moving before they advertise.
Every weekday Before reads Gulf business and project news and matches it to your list. Each story comes with where the project is today and when someone in your field usually gets hired.
- Your window. Now, or a rough date, so you know whether to move today or keep watching.
- Sourced. Every item links to the original story.
- New on the market. Companies that aren't on your list yet but fit you, one tap to add.
Your list, and where each company stands.
Before builds your list from your CV and the answers you give. Keep the companies that fit, skip the ones that don't, and Before suggests more like the ones you keep.
- Needs you. Companies with something due today float to the top.
- A clear status for each. Not started, waiting, in conversation, call booked, offer.
- Companies like yours. Similar firms to keep or skip, so the list keeps growing.
The right person, and the message to send them.
Each company has its own page: the job title to look for, how to warm up first, and your Day 1, Day 7 and Day 14 notes, written for you by Before from your CV and the latest news.
- Who to contact. The best title for your level, with fallbacks if they don't reply.
- Written for you, in your voice. Before drafts every note. Answer three quick questions and they sound like you, not a template.
- Tracks itself. Tick off each note and Before tells you when the next one's due.
Not a job board. But you won't miss an ad either.
Before is built for the weeks before a job is posted. If one of your companies does advertise a role in your field, it shows on that company's page and in your morning briefing, so you can reach the hiring manager, not just apply.
- On the company page. Next to your messages and the news.
- Your field only. Same level, one up or one down.
- No noise. Only Gulf roles from the last seven days.
Tell Before what's changed, in plain words.
Say it the way you'd say it to a recruiter: "add Qatar", "I want to move into fintech", "drop the banks". Your profile and list update to match.
- Morning email. Today's actions and news on your companies at 7am, every weekday or three days a week.
- Your profile, editable. Sector, level, target countries and your strongest points.
- Works on any device. Your list follows you from phone to laptop.
Screens show two sample members, one in finance and one in construction. The companies and news are real; the people and their messages are examples.
