How it works

Your resume, LinkedIn, and overall narrative shape how you’re perceived as a candidate and if that story isn’t clear, you risk blending in with equally qualified applicants. Our Candidate Evaluation is an insider-led diagnostic that assesses how you’re currently showing up in the market and why you may not be getting the traction you expect. Through a structured review of your materials and a focused strategy session, we identify messaging gaps, clarify your Most Hireable Skills, and evaluate alignment with your target roles. The result is a clear understanding of how you’re perceived and a strategic path to position yourself more effectively as a Top of the Stack candidate. What You Get: The Candidate Evaluation includes two focused touch-points. Candidate Evaluation Session (1 hour): Before the session, you’ll submit materials like your resume, LinkedIn profile, and target roles. You'll outline your career trajectory, the roles you’re targeting, and the signals you’re currently receiving from the market. We assess how your candidacy currently appears to recruiters and hiring managers, including: Your professional brand narrative, your Most Hireable Skills, messaging gaps in your resume and LinkedIn, & alignment between your experience and your target roles. You’ll receive direct feedback on what’s working, what’s not, and how to reposition yourself more effectively. After the session, you’ll receive a written summary of your evaluation and strategic recommendations. Strategic Follow-Up (30 min): Within the following month or two, you can schedule a follow-up session to review progress, discuss recruiter feedback, and refine your positioning as your search evolves. Why Start Here: The Candidate Evaluation is the foundation for everything that follows. Many clients begin here before adding on services like our Resume Revitalization or LinkedIn Optimization, ensuring those assets reflect your clear and strategic candidate narrative. You'll leave your Candidate Evaluation session with clarity on: - How your candidacy is currently perceived - What truly differentiates you - How to position yourself more strategically in the market
