My name is Scott Anderson and I’m a full stack developer based in Melbourne, Australia. In my previous role as CTO I was sent a large number of CVs to review during the hiring process. While many showed great skills and experience, most of them were poorly presented with broken layouts, poor readability and their best attributes hidden by large slabs of text.

My goal in creating Sirius is to help people in tech create attractive online profiles that they can use as an alternative to a CV or as their personal “portfolio” page. It also allows you to export your profile to PDF, to apply for positions that still require this format.

Eventually, the plan is also to allow employers to conduct highly specific searches to find the talent they are looking for. On LinkedIn you tend to get spammed by recruiters recommending jobs that are largely unsuitable. With Sirius we want to enable employers to find the right people and contact them directly, reducing the recruiter spam that tech workers endure.
