Pepperline launch

The idea

  • Six small bowls of ground spices in a row
One spice, one dish

Each video starts with a single spice and ends with dinner on the table, so the range reads as six easy wins.

What happened

The suya spice video was shared most; people sent it to the person they wanted to cook it for them.

How it works

  1. 1

    Build it once

    Answer a few questions about your work. Folio turns them into a portfolio and a CV that follow the standards recruiters expect.

  2. 2

    Get it confirmed

    Ask a brand you worked with to confirm an entry. They confirm from a single-use link, and the entry shows who verified it.

  3. 3

    Get found

    Verified brands search the directory by skill, niche and location, and post opportunities matched to your profile.

Proof, not claims

Anyone can write “worked with” on a profile. On Folio a brand has to say so too.

When a brand confirms an entry, it carries “Verified by” with their name. Change the role or the brand afterwards and the confirmation is removed, so a verified entry always matches what the brand agreed to.

  • Your identity is checked before your profile can be found.
  • Brands prove they control their company's website and an official account before they can contact you.
  • Follower numbers you type in are labelled self-reported.

A CV from the same profile

Download a single-column CV in three templates, built to be read by people and by applicant tracking systems.

Paste a job description and Folio tailors a version to it. It reorders and rephrases what you have already written; it never invents a skill, a number or a role, and you see the original beside every change.

Free to build. Pro to publish.

Your content is yours on either plan. Pro puts your portfolio at its own public link and gives you the full designer.
