Nothing inventedevery claim comes from your record, and is yours to defend

The same career

Your record is not the problem. The way it is told may be.

A general CV describes a job. A reader deciding on a seat wants to know what you did in it. Here is one CIO, on the same facts, told both ways.

The opening

A general CVSeasoned IT professional with over 20 years of experience in ERP, infrastructure, cybersecurity and digital transformation.

Written for this seat

CIO who runs the estate of a nine-plant listed group, and spends less on it each year.

The reader knows the size of the seat from one line.

The work

A general CVManaged enterprise applications, infrastructure and IT vendors across the organisation.

Written for this seat

Switched off 140 of 390 applications, and ended 26 vendor contracts.

The reader can see the estate got smaller, and what that saved.

The board

A general CVPresented IT updates to senior management and the Audit Committee.

Written for this seat

Invitee to the Audit Committee on IT controls since 2019. No IT qualification in five audits.

The reader can see how far the board and the auditors trusted the estate.

A fictional CIO and fictional companies, shown to illustrate the service.

Choose a reader

One career. Four CIO mandates. Four different pages.

The record stays the same. The person reading it does not, and neither does what they look for first. Choose a reader, and watch the page change.

Why an executive search firm

We read these on the other side of the table.

Gladwin International has been an executive search firm since 2010. Its CIO practice, led by Anandh Shanmugaraj, has made 70+ CIO and IT Head placements across a decade-long practice. Knowing what a committee reads first is our everyday work.

Your record stays with us
It is used only to prepare your documents. It is not circulated to any hiring side.
Your limits are respected
Tell us the figures you are not free to share, and we leave them out.

What it does not do

It does not get you a role, and no one can promise one
It does not put you on a shortlist for our retained searches
It does not add achievements you do not have. Every claim must be yours to defend

Before you decide

The questions we are asked first

What should a CIO resume include?

A CIO resume should open with a line written for the seat you want, then lead with what that reader looks for first: the size of the estate, run cost against change cost, what you switched off, your outage and inspection record, and how people took to the systems. Lists of projects and vendors step back. A plant-heavy group and a bank’s IT Strategy Committee read the same career differently.

How much does a CIO resume or board profile cost?

One document is ₹30,000, with 3 revisions. 10 documents over 12 months are ₹75,000. Both are plus GST.

What is the difference between a CIO resume and a board profile?

A resume sells you for an executive role, so it leads with what you ran and delivered. A board profile is read for governance and judgement, so it leads with committees, your dealings with regulators and shareholders, and the calls you owned.

How does the 10-document pack work?

You have 12 months from purchase to use all 10. Bring us a role you are applying for and we prepare the document for it.

Can the pack include board profiles and decks?

Yes. Each of the documents can be a resume, a board profile or a consulting deck.

Who sees my record?

It is used only to prepare your documents. It is not circulated to any hiring side.

Does this get me a role?

No one can promise a role, and we do not. Buying a document does not put you on a shortlist for our retained searches.

One career, read by very different people.

₹30,000 a document, or ₹75,000 for 10, plus GST.
