Why a general VA struggles with applications
A general virtual assistant can fill a form, but tailoring a CV to pass an applicant tracking system and reading a job description for what the employer really wants is specialist work.
PBridge's team does only this. For roles in Manchester, each application you approve gets a tailored CV, a matching cover letter and a complete portal submission.
Specialists, not generalists
Our team works on job applications all day, every day.
ATS-aware tailoring
Each CV is adjusted to the role's language and requirements.
Managed, not freelance
A team with quality checks, not one person you have to brief and manage.
Specialist, not general
Why a general virtual assistant struggles with applications
A general virtual assistant can fill in a form. Reading a job description for what the employer is really screening for, and rewriting a CV so an applicant tracking system and then a recruiter both see the match, is specialist work that a VA does in between other tasks.
Our team does only this, all day. For roles in Manchester, each application you approve gets a tailored CV, a matching cover letter and a complete portal submission.
Applications all day
The same team, the same work, every day. Nothing is learned on your account.
Nothing to manage
No briefing, no checking in. You approve roles; the team does the rest.
Checked before sending
A second person reviews each tailored CV before it goes.
How it works
You approve. We apply. Every week.

The Manchester market

Applying across United KingdomApplying in Manchester
What applies across the United Kingdom
Manchester has become the UK's second tech and digital hub, with MediaCity in Salford, a growing fintech and e-commerce scene, major employers such as the BBC, Booking.com, Autotrader and the Co-op, and large professional services and NHS organisations across Greater Manchester.
Salaries are below London but so are costs, and hybrid working is common, which widens the roles you can realistically take. We source across Manchester, Salford, Stockport and the wider conurbation, tailor your CV to each posting and submit only the applications you have approved.

Questions
Before you start
Anything else? Email support@pbridgeco.com and our team will come back to you.
Do I need to brief or manage anyone?
No. You set your targets once at onboarding and approve roles on your dashboard each week.
Can I ask for changes to how my CV is tailored?
Yes. Tell support what you want kept or changed and the next applications follow it.
Do I need to manage the assistant?
No. You approve roles on your dashboard; the team handles sourcing, tailoring and submission.
Do you only apply in Manchester?
No. We cover Manchester city centre, Salford Quays (MediaCity), Spinningfields and the rest of Manchester, and you can add any other location in the UK or abroad to your targets at any time.
Can you focus on employers that sponsor visas?
Yes. When you tell us you need sponsorship, we prioritise roles from employers on the UK register of licensed sponsors and flag them on your weekly list.
Do you apply through NHS Jobs and Civil Service Jobs?
Yes, where the role fits your profile. These portals ask for detailed supporting statements, which we tailor to the person specification for each role.
Will my CV follow UK conventions?
Yes. We rebuild it as a two-page UK CV with no photo or personal details, a short profile and results-focused experience.
Is it allowed to have someone apply for me?
Yes. Applications are made in your name, with your real experience and documents, and you approve every role before we apply. Employers hire you directly.
