About CareerLift - done-for-you job application service (CH)
Turnkey 'we apply for you' job search business for Switzerland: app, CRM, CV pip
What it is A turnkey done-for-you job application service for the Swiss (German-speaking) market. A client buys a credit of 12 applications, receives curated job proposals in waves, approves with one click - the operator writes and submits each application and coaches through interviews until the contract is signed. A second product line builds hand-made CV portfolios in 6 design worlds. Market demand (validated) • Price research across 9 Swiss providers: CV writers charge CHF 79-750 for a document only, interview coaches CHF 120-180/h, AI tools CHF 8-29/mo self-service. Nobody in Switzerland searches, applies AND coaches for young professionals - the same service sells for USD 1,500-4,000/month in the US. • Proof of method: the founder ran the exact process on his own job search - 32 applications, 8 interviews, 5 offers, contract signed in 3.5 weeks. • First signals: one pilot client in process, ten intro calls booked, inbound requests via LinkedIn Services Marketplace within two weeks, 405 LinkedIn post impressions in the first month. What is included • Brand (Swiss trademark filing in preparation), .ch domain + app subdomain, logo and visual assets • Marketing site: 11 pages, static HTML/CSS/JS on Vercel, booking flow for intro calls, terms and privacy tailored to the model • Client app: auth, onboarding with AI form-fill, job proposals with approve/decline, application tracker, credit display, appointments, documents, CV view. Stack: Supabase (Postgres, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions) + Vercel • Admin CRM with AI assistance: client files, wave curation, cover-letter generation, reference-letter requests, Stripe payment templates, demo mode for sales calls • CV pipeline: 6 portfolio designs as HTML masters, PDF rendering, editable Word versions, cover-letter templates • Transactional emails (invite, kickoff, appointment) as Edge Functions • Full German playbook: business model, pricing sheet, processes (CV creation, job search waves, interview coaching), workflows, outreach templates, 6 finished social carousels • Legal groundwork: documented boundary to licensed job placement under Swiss law (SECO guidelines reviewed), trademark search, data-protection basics • LinkedIn company page, Instagram account, Facebook assets Status Built over the summer, launched last month. Pre-revenue. Running costs: domain only (CHF 14.90/year), hosting on free tiers. No web analytics installed yet, so site traffic is unmeasured. Ideal buyer A CV writing service, career coach or HR professional in Switzerland/DACH who already has job-seeking clients and wants a second product line without six months of building - or an HR person / recruiter going independent who wants a ready-made side business (3-5 parallel clients, evenings/weekends). German is required for the market. Reason for selling The founder took a full-time role and cannot give the business the attention it needs. No debts, no obligations. Handover Asset sale - there is no legal entity. All accounts, repos, domain, trademark and content are transferred. 4-8 weeks of onboarding by the founder included. Demo of app and CRM after NDA. Asking USD 15,000 (negotiable, earn-out possible) - the price reflects replacement cost of the build, not revenue.
