In this episode of Pricing Heroes, we speak with Alex Halkin, Founder and CEO of Competera, returning to the show two years after his first appearance in 2024. In that conversation, Alex predicted a major shift toward AI-driven, contextual pricing in retail. Today, he revisits those predictions, assesses how the space has evolved, and shares what's coming next — from autonomous pricing decisions to four-dimensional optimisation models and algorithmic trading-style speed.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
