Your experience is more than words on a CV.Validation proves what sits behind them.
Give your candidates an additional advantage.
When you're hiring a senior technology leader, the CV rarely tells the whole story.
“Led a major transformation.”
Fine. But how major?
What was at risk? What was the scale? What did they personally own? What changed because they were there?
In other words:
So what?
Job titles don't necessarily help. A CTO in one organisation can have a completely different level of responsibility from a CTO in another. Two candidates can use almost identical language on their CVs while having operated at very different levels of scale, complexity and accountability.
The Validated Technology Leadership Accreditation puts an experienced, independent technology leader behind the CV — assessing the scale, complexity and impact of what the candidate has actually achieved.
It gives recruiters something powerful when presenting a candidate:
Independent evidence that helps explain why this person really is as good as you're saying they are.
Add value for your candidates — and your firm
For the candidate, accreditation provides a professional credential they can display on their CV, résumé and LinkedIn profile and carry with them throughout their career.
For the recruiter or executive search firm, it creates another valuable component of your candidate proposition.
Rather than simply saying:
“We believe this is an exceptional technology leader.”
you can demonstrate that their professional experience has also been independently reviewed and validated by experienced technology leaders.
That can strengthen the candidate proposition while reinforcing the value your firm brings to both candidates and clients.
Behind The CV
A senior technology CV can be impressive.
But what really sits behind it?
CVs tell part of the story. Experience Validation reveals the real scale, complexity and impact.
We Investigate What Matters Most To You
Personal Contribution
Their specific contribution and leadership
Technical Competence
The depth and currency of their technology expertise
Scale & Complexity
The size, scope and level of challenge
Outcomes & Impact

Career Learning
How they've grown and what they take forward
Sometimes only another technologist knows what to ask.
Marlow Business School's validation process brings experienced technology leadership expertise into the assessment.
We look beyond what a candidate says they have done to understand the personal contribution, technology complexity, leadership responsibility, decisions, challenges, outcomes and learning behind their career.
The result is an independent professional assessment that can help provide greater confidence in the experience presented on a senior technology candidate's CV.
