In the platform
Tracking the people you support, at a glance.
- The profiles of everyone you support, in one place.
- Video creations and updates, in real time.
- With PRO +, views by companies, with each person’s consent.
- Guides, tutorials and materials for your workshops.
The challenge
Showing what a CV doesn’t say.
Age, an unconventional career path, a gap in employment, an address, a disability: some details on a CV shape how it is read before the person even has a chance to speak.
Add to that the difficulty of talking about oneself, self-censorship in front of recruiters, and applications that are increasingly standardized in the age of AI. The 2’MAX gives people back their voice, in a reassuring, fair and supportive setting.
2 Minutes Max thus helps everyone, and especially people furthest from employment, to overcome CV bias.
The result of good support: candidates who present themselves with confidence.
People from all walks of life who prepared their pitch, then sent it to employers.
A 2’MAX is normally visible only to the recipients the candidate chooses. These candidates made an exception and agreed to share an excerpt.
Who it’s for
The people, and those who support them.
The people
- Young people looking for an internship, a work-study contract or a first job.
- Young people from priority urban neighborhoods (QPV).
- People far from employment, changing careers or with disabilities.
- Jobseekers.
The organizations
- Missions locales (local youth employment centers) and France Travail, the French public employment service.
- Second-chance schools and inclusion programs.
- Non-profits supporting people into employment.
- Apec, the French executive employment association, for managers and recent graduates.
Missions locales, Ladapt, Apec, NQT and EPIDE already use 2 Minutes Max, which is listed on France Travail’s Emploi Store.
Three uses
Practice, present yourself, be seen.
First and foremost, gain confidence: everyone can practice as many times as they need, without exposure.
- Gain confidence and practice. Attempts are unlimited and stay private: everyone keeps the take that feels like them and decides who to send it to.
- Help young people present themselves. Saying who you are, what you are looking for and why, in under 2 minutes: a concrete exercise that also prepares for the interview.
- Showcase profiles to companies. The person shares their 2’MAX with the recruiters of their choice, and you can put it forward to your partner companies.
Advisers, trainers, mentors and tutors follow the preparation from their professional workspace: they encourage, give feedback and highlight progress.
Workshops and coaching
Our team runs your workshops.
Group workshops and coaching, run by the 2 Minutes Max team, in person or online, on request.
- Group workshops: prepare your pitch and record your 2’MAX as a group, with the team’s advice.
- Coaching: one-to-one support to work on your presentation and gain confidence speaking.
- On request: on your premises or remotely, depending on your audience and your program.

An inclusive tool
Listening before judging.
When you click a 2’MAX, you are not interpreting a CV: you see neither the age, nor the address, nor the photo. You start by listening.
- More equal opportunity: every profile is heard for what it expresses.
- Concrete results: more self-confidence, less stress about how others see you.
- Suitable tools: CVs without photos, preparation with a coach or an employment adviser.
According to a study conducted in Canada, an application that includes a video increases the chances of getting an interview by 38%.

“I came in at the end of the process, when there was already a shortlist. Without the video, I am sure I would have been told it was closed.”
