About
I spent six years deciding who got hired. Now I prepare the people who want to be.
Most career advice is written by people who have never sat in a debrief and argued for or against a candidate. Everything here comes from having done exactly that, several thousand times.
Mission
Make the hiring bar legible.
Hiring is not a meritocracy of effort. It is a series of fast, imperfect judgements made by busy people using incomplete evidence. Candidates who understand that structure do dramatically better than candidates who simply work harder.
My work is to make that structure visible — what a screener looks for in nine seconds, how a debrief actually resolves, why a strong candidate loses to a clearer one — and then to rebuild your materials and your answers against it.
I keep the practice deliberately small. Every engagement is one-to-one, and I take a limited number of clients each month so that nothing is templated.
Values
How I work.
Evidence over encouragement
Comfort does not get you hired. I will tell you what a hiring manager will think and why, then we fix it.
Preparation compounds
One structured week of preparation consistently outperforms six months of unfocused applying.
Both sides of the table
Every recommendation comes from having actually made the hiring decision, not from observing it.
Discretion by default
Confidential searches stay confidential. Nothing you share is used as marketing material without permission.
Your turn
You are closer than the rejections make it feel.
Most people who come to me are not underqualified — they are simply telling the wrong story to the wrong rooms. That is fixable, usually faster than you expect. One honest conversation is often enough to see what has actually been standing in the way.
Bring the role you want. We will work backwards from it together.
