    We craft career narratives that leverage clients’ unique blends of skills and experiences so they are the “unicorns” others seek

    We’re working on an automated process to make is easy to capture the information you share and streamline the process, but we’re not there yet.

  • We don’t focus on a generic list of skills and experiences but seek to DEMONSTRATE and EXPLAIN why your combination of skills and experiences best meet hiring managers’ needs

    We want to understand the client at a deeper level than their resume so we can recommend options that EXCITE clients, not just provide a potential paycheck (though that is important too!) In the survey we ask about skills clients most want to use in future gigs and what skills they DO NOT want to use.

    We ask people to rank priorities like impact, salary, growth potential, and we ask people about their favorite skills outside of work and what do people around them ask them for help in doing.

    The interview helps us understand what lights people up when they talk about times they’ve leverages skills in their work and it enables us to probe further into details and examples of success than an automated online service can.

    By exploring the entirety of what a client brings to the table we can create compelling stories of strengths that clients often don’t realize they have.

    t’s a rough market and we want clients to be reinvigorated and confident of what they can do and what they can be
