The last job search you'll ever run

Every other tool helps you apply faster. ECAS decides what is worth applying to — then works your campaign overnight and asks you for ten minutes in the morning.

No forms. No CV. Two working days for an answer.

Ask Dana for an introduction at ADCB?

Who
Dana Khalil · Finance Director, ADCB
Your link
Two years together at Microsoft Gulf
Evidence
She has referred two hires this year

My read — Ask. Warm introductions at ADCB reach a first conversation roughly 3× faster than applications.

I follow up once in three days, then stop.
The difference

Everyone helps you apply faster. I tell you what not to apply to.

Roughly a fifth of advertised roles are never filled, and at your level you have perhaps forty serious applications in you — not four hundred. So before anything is written, I work out whether the opening is real, whether you can win it, and whether there is a way in.

Their group CFO has spoken publicly about settlement exposure — the exact problem your covenant restructuring solved at Microsoft Gulf.

Ask Dana for an introduction at ADCB?

Two years together at Microsoft Gulf. She is now Finance Director at ADCB, one level above the opening.

My read — Ask. Warm introductions at ADCB reach a first conversation roughly 3× faster than applications.

The route in

Applying is easy. Getting read is the job.

Every opening has three humans behind it: one who decides, one who screens, and one you already know. I find all three, then give you the shortest honest path — and name the route that would burn it.

YoutodayDana KhalilMicrosoft Gulf · 2 yearsHarvey Nasrowns the shortlistGroup CFOdecides

Ask Dana to introduce you to Harvey. He owns the shortlist, and a warm name from a former colleague gets read the same day. The message is drafted — two lines, yours to approve.

Don't write to the CFO first. 2% reply rate at this level, and it closes the warm route if it lands badly.

Your day

Ten minutes a day. Then you're done.

You will not be given a dashboard to manage or a backlog to clear. I work overnight and bring you only the things a person has to decide. Most mornings that is two or three. It is never more than five.

Where a platform forbids automation, I prepare and you execute. I will never claim to have sent something I didn't send.

I'll tell you when the plan is wrong.

A tool that only helps you execute will happily let you spend ninety days doing the wrong thing efficiently. I treat your campaign as an experiment on your own market, and report what it actually says — including when the answer is that your target is off.

Nothing is modelled — every figure is quoted from the log.Every action is timestamped and traceable, forever.If I get something wrong, you read it here first.

The problem is upstream of the interview, not at it.

What I'm changing
Stop applying to Group Finance Director. Nine attempts, no replies — that door is shut this quarter.Double the FP&A and commercial finance leadership roles, where half of your approaches get answered.Route everything through former colleagues first. It is ten times your cold rate.

You get asked twice a day. Not twenty.

The line is simple and it never moves: anything reversible, ECAS does. Anything that spends something of yours — a relationship, a reputation, a number — comes to you with the evidence attached and a recommendation stated plainly.

Apply with LinkedIn

Six seats, because a real operation cannot be run at scale. And no form: LinkedIn is the presence I would be working every day, so it is the only thing I ask you for.

A named operatorOne human who reads the same log you do, on a call every week.
Private by defaultYour campaign is yours. Nothing shared, nothing sold, nothing scraped from you.
Full audit trailEvery action taken on your behalf, timestamped, exportable.
One step · no forms6 seats left
What I readYour name, email, and profile photo — nothing else, and nothing is posted.
What I don't ask forNo forms, no name and email typed twice. Your CV and the rest come next, once you have a seat.
What happens nextYour operator reads the profile and replies within two working days, either way.

Read-only. Nothing is posted, followed or messaged — those permissions are granted later, per action, and revocable.
