Once Hugo.First in line.

ACE is where your Hugo years keep working for you. Your history, QA record and skills travel with you, so matched roles reach you before anyone else, a short course can open the next one, and every record you earn carries a code an employer can check without asking you.

01 / Not a CV. A record.

Hugo already knows your work. You shouldn't have to prove it twice.

Every shift, queue, QA score and skill you built at Hugo stays on your record. When a role fits, one tap says you're interested, and your history is the application.

Cover lettersRe-proving what Hugo knowsSilence after applyingChasing references
03 / Work

See exactly why a role fits, and how to close the gap.

Every role shows the requirements you already meet from your Hugo record, and a direct path to the rest: take the assessment, finish a course, or correct your history.

  • Alumni first. Roles open to alumni before anyone else, and rehires can skip assessments they've already passed.
  • Interest is the application. Your history goes with it. No CV, no interview to re-prove what Hugo already knows.
  • Terms up front. Pay, hours, schedule, contract and training, visible before you say yes.

Your time. Your terms.

Tell ACE when you can work, and the right roles find you. Preferred hours rank you higher, possible hours still count. Tap the grid to try it.

  • One switch. Open, open from a date, or not available. Step back anytime and keep your profile, records and notices.
  • Exceptions. Add exam weeks, travel or family time so schedulers don't book you then.
  • Snooze. Pause work notifications for a holiday or a busy month. You stay in searches.
  • Keep it fresh. Matches favour recently confirmed availability, and one tap says nothing's changed.
05 / Hugo Academy

Learn in an evening.
Get hired on it.

06 / Records

Proof that travels. Privacy that stays.

Everything Hugo can confirm about you, in one place. Each record carries a code an employer can check without asking you, and you decide what they see.

  • You approve first. When an employer asks Hugo to verify your employment, the request comes to you before anything is shared.
  • Only the essentials. Dates, role and hub. QA scores, exit reason and pay are never shared.
  • Full visibility. Every time someone opens a shared link or receives a verification, it's logged with the date.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need a CV to apply?+

No. Pressing "I'm interested" is your application, and your Hugo history goes with it. The talent team sees your verified skills, QA record and availability instead of a CV.

What if my Hugo record is wrong?+

Request a correction from your profile. Once it's approved, your eligibility for every role is re-checked automatically.

What can an employer see when they verify me?+

Only what you approve: dates, role and hub. QA scores, exit reason and pay are never shared, and every check is listed on your Records page with the date.

I'm busy right now. Do I lose my place?+

No. Set yourself to "Not available" and you're hidden from searches but keep your profile, records and notices. Or snooze notifications and stay in searches. Switch back anytime.

What if I'm not selected?+

You'll always hear. Every "not selected" comes with a message that closes the loop, and similar roles come back most quarters. Keep your availability current and you'll hear first.
