Frequently Asked Questions

Your current CV and a clear description of the work you want to do in the UAE: the kind of role, the responsibilities and the level you're aiming for. If you have job ads that are close to what you want, include 2–3 links. They help, but they don't need to be an exact match.

You'll complete payment first, then submit everything through a short form. After reviewing your materials, we may email you a few clarifying questions before we finish your diagnosis.

Yes. Pathfaro is also for people applying to UAE roles from overseas. We'll take your current location, visa situation and expected availability into account when reviewing your application.

Pathfaro is designed mainly for professional and corporate roles in the UAE. If you're in a highly specialised field, email us before ordering so we can confirm whether the service is suitable.

Each order covers one target direction. Closely related job titles count as one, for example Operations Manager and Business Operations Lead.

If you're torn between two clearly different directions, choose the one that matters most to you, or place a separate order for each.

AI can improve the wording. But it tends to agree with whatever you ask it, and it has never sat on the hiring side here. It can't tell you whether you're aiming at the right role, or how a UAE employer will read your CV next to dozens of others.

That's where we start. Pathfaro is built on over 10 years of HR and hiring experience, including screening, interviewing and headhunting for UAE companies.

No. Whether you get an interview depends on many things beyond your CV: who else applies, internal candidates, budgets and timing. No one can honestly guarantee that outcome.

What you get is an experienced view of your application and practical suggestions for your next steps, to help you make better decisions in your job search.

After. Once your payment is complete, you'll be taken straight to a short form to upload your CV and tell us about the work you want. Please use the same email address you paid with, so we can match your materials to your order.

You'll be taken to a short form to submit your CV and a few details. Once we have them, we start reviewing. Often we'll email you a few clarifying questions, so the diagnosis is specific to your situation. Once we have what we need, your diagnosis, action plan and revised CV arrive by email within 5 working days.

It starts once your payment is complete and we have everything we need. If we email you clarifying questions, it starts once you've answered them.

All purchases are final. Each diagnosis is prepared individually, so we don't offer refunds for dissatisfaction with the delivered work or for hiring outcomes.

If something in the delivered work doesn't feel right, use your revision request and follow-up question within 5 working days of delivery. Tell us what isn't working and we'll address it.

Every application is reviewed individually. Pathfaro is built on over 10 years of HR and hiring experience, including screening, interviewing and headhunting for UAE companies. What to address is decided from your CV, target role and job-search context, not from a template.

That's common, and it's part of the process. If we need more detail to make your diagnosis specific, we'll email you a short set of clarifying questions before completing the work.

Once we've started work based on the role you submitted, changing to a materially different direction is treated as a new order. If your intake hasn't been reviewed yet, contact us and we'll help sort it out.
