Discover the market first
Explore the industries, players, contracts and projects shaping European institutional work, and find your future role while it is still being scoped.
For professionals
Your next role,
before it is posted
Read the European institutional market from the inside. Measure your profile against real requirements, close the gap that stands in the way, and engage on terms you set.
- Your CVOne canonical profile, owned by you and released deliberately.
- Your fitScored against actual requirements, with the gap named.
- Your rateArgued from framework pay bands, not guessed at.
The problem
By the time a role is advertised, most of it has already been decided.
Institutional hiring runs through frameworks, contracts and intermediaries. Talent is the only party in that chain without a view of the whole.
- Vacancies surface publicly once shortlists are already half-built.
- Five agencies reformat your CV into five versions, and none of them are yours.
- Nobody names the missing skill until it appears as a rejection.
- Your rate is set by people who know the contract better than you do.
SovTal reverses the information asymmetry. The contracts, the profiles they require and the bands they pay are visible to you — and your CV stays under your control.
Discover · Match · Engage
The same three movements, from where you are standing.
Match, and close the gap
Score your profile against real requirements. Where you fall short, take a tailored skill plan and become employable before the role opens.
Engage on your terms
Own and monetise your expertise: employment, expert advice, hackathons, open innovation, references. Meet peers in your domain and client account.
What you get
Everything here exists to move one thing: the balance of information between you and the people hiring you.
CV vault
One canonical profile you control. Release it to named parties, see who holds it, withdraw it when you choose.
Requirement match
Your profile scored against live and forthcoming framework profiles, with each unmet requirement listed by name.
Skill plans
Only the competencies you are missing. Assessments first, so you skip what you already know.
Rate transparency
Framework pay bands and the EU Pay Transparency Act, turned into an argument you can make in a negotiation.
Contract navigators
Read a framework the way a recruiter reads it: profiles, formats, evaluation criteria, timelines.
Peer circles
Talk to people on the same client account, in the same domain, in the same member state.
Four steps to being the obvious candidate
- 01
Build your profile once
Import an existing CV or start clean. It becomes the single version you own and maintain.
- 02
See where you stand
Match against the frameworks and profiles you care about. Fit and gaps come back itemised.
- 03
Close the gap
Take the assessment, then the short plan that follows from it. Weeks, not a degree.
- 04
Engage deliberately
Release your profile to the parties you choose, at a rate you can justify.

Questions, answered
What does it cost me?
Discovery, matching and your profile vault are free. You only pay if you use SovTal to sell expertise rather than to find work.
Who can see my CV?
Only the parties you release it to. You can see who holds a copy, and withdraw access at any point.
Do I have to leave my current agency?
No. SovTal is not an agency. It is where you keep the canonical version of your profile and read the market for yourself.
I am missing a required certification. Is that fatal?
Usually not, if you know early. That is the point of matching before publication: the gap is named while there is still time to close it.
It is your CV, your career, your rate. Own it.
Build the profile once, see the whole market, and decide what you release and to whom.
