Before you decide

Questions A Careful Buyer Should Ask.

You assess risk for a living. These answers are written accordingly.

Seniority is exactly when search skill goes rusty. Your last real search may be a decade old, and the market that exists now, with automated screening, compressed shortlists and tighter compensation benchmarking, is not the one you last competed in. Today's job market has nothing to do with tenure and everything to do with strategy. It is the same reason strong performers in every field keep a coach, for the outside view applied with method. We consistently help people secure roles from $100kโ€“$350k.

No, and be careful with anyone who does. Hiring decisions sit with the employer, not with me. What is guaranteed is the specialization of the work: on the Progression and Accelerator programs, if your interview to application ratio does not improve by 50%, your resume and cover letter get rewritten at no extra cost. Beyond that, you are not working with a generalist, you are working with specialists. Everyone on our team has already climbed to the roles you are aiming for next. Our guarantee is that support continues until you are hired.

Yes. AML and financial crime is one element of our work, but the same method is used across risk, internal audit, compliance, regulatory affairs, finance and capital markets, IT, enterprise oversight, governance and advisory. If your work involves being assessed by a hiring panel inside a bank or a professional services firm, the approach applies. We are currently supporting people across all business units and functions within all three lines of defence (1LoDโ€“3LoD).

Yes. Clients are supported across Canada, the United States and Europe, and outcomes have been delivered in all three, 150+ placements, totalling $1.5M+ in raises. Sessions run by video and are supported by our proprietary systems, so your location matters far less than your target market does.

A resume service hands you a document and leaves. This is managed career advisory. The resume is one input. The rest is search strategy, insider role sourcing, interview preparation against real panel questions, networking that is planned rather than hoped for, and salary negotiation at the end, all tracked in the client portal and our proprietary system so nothing gets lost.

Less than most people expect, because the work is targeted rather than scattered. Sessions are booked around your schedule, including evenings, and the effort between sessions is focused on a short list of high value actions instead of mass applying. Most of the time saved comes from no longer chasing roles that were never going to convert. You will not need more than 90 minutes a week to execute our program KPIs.

Career Launch suits you if your materials are the bottleneck and you are close to ready. Career Progression adds a dedicated career search manager and deeper interview work for an active, serious search. Career Accelerator is for people who want unlimited access and want to move fast. If you are unsure, book the strategy call and you will get a straight recommendation, including being told if now is not the right time.
