Seventeen years of pharma recruiting, awake at three in the morning

I have been recruiting for seventeen years. Fourteen of those in pharma and CRO, nine of them inside Bayer AG, and the five before that at ICON and Syneos Health. Whatever I worked out in those years I wrote down somewhere: blog articles, my LinkedIn newsletter, the long posts.

That writing now sits on a server as more than 6,000 passages, and it answers questions.

Ask it why your application went quiet in week three. It will tell you what a Medical Science Liaison actually does between one hospital and the next, what your Arbeitszeugnis says about you underneath the polite grade, what a first-round CRA interview is really testing, and whether the last eighteen months of the postdoc still pay for themselves. It answers in German, English or Polish, whichever you write in.

What costs nothing

Asking. No account, no card, no subscription. Open the chat window on any page here and write in German, English or Polish. The first eight answers are free, and eight is enough for a real question: why a process went quiet, what a job title actually involves day to day, whether the move you keep turning over in your head holds up.

Once it gets closer to your own case, your CV, one specific posting, the interview on Tuesday, a conversation does more than a chat window can. That call is free too. If you would rather see the paid work first, the coaching programmes and the CV and LinkedIn rewrite sit on the home page with their prices.

How the answers happen

The mechanics are plain. It searches my archive first and writes afterwards, so the answer is assembled from sentences I published. It names the article and links it. Where my writing runs out it says so, researches on the web, and tells you which source it used. It has never once been impatient with a question.

Where a question needs your own documents in front of it, the assistant says so and points you at a conversation.

Optional: when it works on your own documents

Everything above stays free. There is also a subscription, and it is optional. It begins at the point where you want the persona to work on your own documents rather than explain how they work. It rewrites the bullet points in your CV by the rule I use with clients: result before responsibility, and a question back to you wherever a number is missing. Your cover letter gets one paragraph that answers why this employer, and nothing else.

• CV. Structure, order, which numbers belong in it, and which gap has to stay visible because you cannot evidence it.
• Cover letter. Written against the actual job, without the phrases every recruiter skips.
• LinkedIn profile. Headline, About section, every role, your skills in an order that makes sense, plus the settings recruiters see and your employer does not.
• Opportunity analysis. One posting held against your profile, with its scoring table and a clear answer on where you are strong and where it gets tight.
• Interview script. The questions that will come, answered from your own track record.
• Application plan. Four weeks, in the order I work in myself.

Where the rules come from

Those rules came out of my own client files from this year. Not one client sentence and not one client name sits on that server. Only the method.

Pricing for the optional subscription

€39 a month, three months minimum. €399 for a year, which saves you €69.

Withdrawal instructions: in the terms. After buying, you can withdraw from the contract here and cancel contracts here, both without a login.

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI persona free?

Yes. Asking costs nothing and needs no account and no card. The first eight answers are free. Only the worked version, where the persona rewrites your own CV, cover letter, LinkedIn profile or interview script, needs an access code, and that subscription is optional. A getting-to-know call with Andreas Schulz is free as well.

What does the optional subscription cost?

€39 a month with a minimum term of three months, or €399 a year. The annual plan saves €69 against twelve monthly payments. As a small business under Section 19 of the German VAT Act, I charge no VAT; these are final prices.

What does the subscription cover?

The coach works on your own documents: CV, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, a career opportunity analysis against one posting, and an interview script built from your own track record.

How is the subscription different from the free chat?

The chat window on every page answers pharma career questions from published articles, newsletters and posts, and it stays free. The subscription is what lets the coach work on your own documents, by the rules Andreas Schulz uses when he reworks them for a client.

How do I cancel?

On the page Cancel contracts here, linked at the bottom of every page, with no account, no access code and no reason required. With an access code you can also cancel on the account page. The monthly plan runs for at least three months and can then be cancelled to the end of any month. The annual plan runs for twelve months at first. After that it continues until you cancel and can be cancelled at any time with one month’s notice. Anything you paid in advance for the time after the end date is refunded pro rata.

Is a human answering?

No. The chat window is answered by an AI system, not by Andreas Schulz in person. That is the disclosure required under Article 50 of the EU AI Act. It does not replace a conversation with him.

How does access work?

An access code appears after payment. You enter it once in the chat window and your browser remembers it. There is no account, no password and no customer database on this site.

The arithmetic: twelve months at €39 is €468. The annual plan is €399. The difference is €69, about 15 percent.

Billing is in euro. Depending on your country, Stripe may offer payment in your local currency, at its own rate and with a 4 percent conversion fee. You can switch back to euro on the payment page.

Term and cancellation

The monthly plan costs €39 a month and runs for at least three months. After that you can cancel to the end of any month. The annual plan costs €399 for the first twelve months, paid in advance. After that it continues at the same price until you cancel, and you can cancel at any time with one month’s notice. Anything you paid in advance for the time after the end date is refunded pro rata.

You cancel on the page Cancel contracts here, with no account, no access code, no phone call and no reason required. With your access code you can also cancel on the account page. That holds for both plans, the €39 monthly one and the €399 annual one. To withdraw within the first fourteen days, use Withdraw from contract.

How access works

An access code appears after payment. You enter it once in the chat window and your browser remembers it. There is no account, no password and no customer database on this site. Payment and invoices run through Stripe.

What the coach does not do

It will not assess your severance agreement, tell you what the tax office will make of it, or decide whether you should resign. Those need me, or a lawyer. It says so instead of guessing.

And it is not me. It knows my craft. Your situation is the part I only learn once we have spoken.
