Konkret, utan klyschor â vad som fungerar hos rekryterare.
Recruiters at Monzo, Revolut, Wise and Stripe scan developer CVs for three things at once: primary language/framework, recognisable employers, and concrete impact in numbers. Put your primary stack (language + framework + cloud) on line 1 of your profile â not in a skills tag at the bottom. Avoid "passionate about coding" and clichĂ©s like "team player"; UK recruiters see those a thousand times a day and filter them out aggressively.
Compare "Worked on refund service" with "Migrated refund service from monolith to event-driven microservice â reduced turnaround from 4h to 90s for 18M transactions/month". The second wins every time. Go through every bullet and ask: what changed measurably? Latency, throughput, error rate, team capacity, cost. If you don't have a number, describe the scope ("used daily by 200+ merchants").
Skill bars (rating yourself 4/5 in Excel â no recruiter takes that seriously). Icons next to email or phone. A photo (the UK convention is to omit photos, unlike many European markets). GitHub as a bare link without context â for every relevant project, mention the stack and what your role was. Hobby projects only if they're genuinely relevant to the role; otherwise cut them. Keep your CV to two pages maximum.
