Pricing is fixed on the Services page in two families. Career Partnership runs from $550-$1,100 depending on strategizing depth, volume, interview support, and monthly execution. The current tiers are Standard at $550, Premium at $800, and Monthly Support at $1,100. Application Velocity runs from $120-$320 for faster criteria-based application sprints. Ongoing Career Partnership rounds may receive a 5-10% savings adjustment when a longer search makes sense.

No — and this is the biggest distinction. Recruiters are paid by employers to fill roles. I'm paid by you, the candidate, to run your search. There is no employer relationship, no commission, no "preferred client" influencing where I send you. The only objective is your next role.

For a senior professional with strong-fit target roles available in their market: 4-10 weeks to first offer is the typical range. Pivots (industry, function) take longer — 8-14 weeks. Confidential C-suite searches often run 12-20 weeks. Every quote includes a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.

Yes — every single application. Approval gates are non-negotiable. Clients approve shortlisted jobs online for maximum alignment before anything is submitted. You also have access to a live tracker showing every application, status, and recruiter conversation in real time.

Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone — especially for currently-employed senior professionals. We use quiet sourcing methods (no public "Open to Work" signals, no LinkedIn activity changes that broadcast a search), and outreach is gated through company ATS portals, not recruiter chatter. Most of my clients are currently employed.

Resume writing is a deliverable. Reverse recruitment is an operation. A resume writer hands you a document and wishes you luck. I run the search itself — sourcing roles, tailoring per application, submitting through the right channels, tracking responses, prepping you for interviews, supporting through negotiation. The resume is one input among many.

Pivots are a specialty. The challenge isn't usually experience — it's narrative and vocabulary. We do positioning work first, including a translation pass that reframes your existing experience in the target industry's language. Pivots take longer but the success rate is high when the framing is right.

No serious advisor guarantees outcomes — too many variables outside our control (market timing, hiring freezes, your own preferences). I do guarantee process: every shortlisted job approved by you online, every status visible in real time, every week with a written report. If the engagement isn't working, we have an honest conversation about why and adjust.

The first week of every engagement locks the search criteria: target roles, seniority, geography, compensation range, industries, ICP companies, exclusions, and red-line "won't apply" criteria. Each job is then scored against those criteria and against your resume/profile fit before it appears in the online approval tracker. You approve or pass the shortlisted jobs for maximum alignment before anything is submitted.

3-5 active engagements at any time. This is a deliberate cap to maintain the daily-touch quality the practice is built on. There is sometimes a short waitlist; if so, the scoping call will tell you when a slot opens.
