Questions

How it works, honestly.

Straight answers about your page, the video introduction, what free includes and where the jobs come from. Anything we missed — write to [email protected].

Your page

What is a changemaker page?

A public profile at changemaker.cv/p/your-name — a living portfolio for people pursuing careers at international organizations: the UN system, development banks, EU institutions and INGOs. It holds what a two-page CV can't: projects with outcomes, an experience timeline, skills with levels, and a 90-second video introduction.

How do I create one?

Sign in with just your email — we send a magic link, there is no password. That opens your dashboard editor, where you fill in the sections you want: basics (name, title, headline, bio, location, photo, social links), projects and work with outcomes, your experience timeline, skills with levels, and the video introduction. When it reads right, flip the publish toggle and the page is live at your link.

Do I need a CV to start?

No. There is nothing to upload or import — you write the page directly in the editor. Most people keep their CV open for reference, but the page exists to say what the CV can't.

Can I unpublish my page?

Yes, any time, with the same toggle you used to publish. An unpublished page is private: visitors get a 404, not a notice that something is hidden.

Who owns the content?

You do. Everything you write and record is yours. We host and display it at your link only for as long as you choose to keep it published.

Can I choose my own link?

Yes. Your page lives at changemaker.cv/p/<slug>, and you choose the slug — the part after /p/ — in the editor. Most people use their name.

The video intro

Why a video introduction?

Because hiring panels meet hundreds of documents and very few people. Ninety seconds of you explaining who you are and what you work on does what no summary paragraph can — it makes you a person before the interview.

Why the 90-second cap?

A hard limit keeps it fair and watchable. Ninety seconds is enough for who you are, what you work on and what you're looking for — and short enough that a busy reviewer actually presses play.

Do I record in the browser or upload a file?

Either. You can record directly in the browser — no software, no editing suite — or upload a video you already have. The 90-second cap applies to both.

Can I replace my video?

Yes, as often as you like. Record or upload a new take and it replaces the old one on your page; your link never changes.

Where is my video hosted?

Videos are processed and streamed by Mux, a dedicated video platform, so your introduction starts quickly on any device and any connection — nothing for you to configure.

Free & premium

What's free, forever?

The page itself: all core sections (basics, projects, experience, skills), the 90-second video introduction, publishing and unpublishing, and your share link. Free is the product, not a teaser — and it stays free.

What does premium add?

The full dossier: featured case studies with rich detail pages and more depth per project, video applications — short tailored videos for individual applications, beyond the one intro — and page analytics as it ships. It costs €2.99 a month.

Why €2.99?

Because our costs are hosting, storage and video streaming — not a sales team. We would rather price premium like a coffee than gate careers behind a paywall.

When can I buy premium?

Shortly. Online checkout opens inside the dashboard soon — there is no way to pay today, and we won't pretend otherwise. Create your free page now and you'll see premium in your dashboard the moment it opens.

How do I cancel?

Any time, with no notice period. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the billing month, and your free page continues untouched. There are no trials or annual contracts to unwind.

Privacy & data

Who can see my page?

Only published pages are public. Before you first publish — and any time you switch publishing off — your page returns a 404 to everyone but you in the editor.

Will my page appear in search engines?

Published pages can be indexed by search engines — for a public portfolio, that is usually the point. If you unpublish, the page returns a 404 and engines drop it from results on their next crawl.

How do I delete my account and data?

Email [email protected] and we delete your account and everything in it. If you just want the page off the web immediately, unpublish it first — that takes one click. [email protected]

Where is my data hosted?

Your page content is stored on EU-hosted infrastructure. Videos are delivered through Mux's streaming network so they play quickly wherever the panel sits.

The jobs index

Where do the listings come from?

Official sources only — the organizations' own career sites and feeds. We never re-post from other boards. Every source we index is listed publicly on the coverage page, including the ones currently failing. See the coverage report

How often is the board updated?

Every source is checked at least daily — most several times a day. Listings that disappear from their source are marked as no longer listed rather than silently kept.

Why does a listing send me to another site?

Because applications belong on the official portal. Every listing links straight to the hiring organization's own application page — we never take applications ourselves, so your data goes only to the organization.

Is the jobs index really free?

Yes, entirely. Browsing and searching cost nothing, and there are no fees for candidates — ever. The jobs index stays free regardless of what happens with premium.

What if I find an error in a listing?

Email [email protected] with the link. Listings are ingested automatically from official feeds, so errors usually trace back to the source — either way, we'll check it and fix what's ours. [email protected]
