Seasoned Experts in Recruiting, Resumes, LinkedIn Profiles, and Job Search Strategy
Most job seekers fail to realize how tiny mistakes and unintentional red flags in their resume can ruin their chances of landing an interview. Especially in an ultra-competitive job market where every job posting is receiving hundreds of applicants. How is your resume going to stand out? This problem is NOT being solved by AI. Unfortunately, AI is only making the problem much worse. AI automation platforms are bombarding applicant tracking systems with exponentially more resumes. At the same time, AI screening platforms are determining relevancy scores and only recommending candidates with perfect resumes. HR departments & hiring managers are focusing their time interviewing those candidates and ignoring all other applicants. Even if a company is still using legacy HR systems without relevancy scoring capabilities, 70-80% of resumes are eliminated in the grid view of applicant tracking systems and grid view screens depend on the accuracy of parsing technologies. Sadly, even the best parsing technologies are routinely inaccurate so using the proper formatting is key. The remaining 20-30% of resumes are reviewed, but typically by a busy HR person with overly critical eyes that only spend 3-5 seconds reviewing each resume before deciding to pursue or reject. You have to make sure the audience can quickly find the key items they are seeking and avoid all the common red flags or you'll find yourself stuck in the resume black hole. It is now more important than ever to optimize your resume and LinkedIn profile to avoid the resume black hole. Before you apply to another job, schedule an appointment and let's make sure your resume and LinkedIn profile are both HR Approved.

Customer Surveys
The service was outstanding!
"The service was outstanding! It's great to get insights from an actual recruiter who can help you stand out in today's very competitive job market. The ATS-friendly resume was an unexpected bonus, and the tips on how to distinguish your resume from others were very much appreciated. The LinkedIn advice was also top notch. I never thought to include an impact statement in my LinkedIn banner, and I certainly didn't expect to receive some sample banners that I could use. That was above and beyond what I expected. In a nutshell, you get a lot of wisdom and guidance for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Blake to anyone who's looking for career and resume coaching." -Imran
It was a game changer
"I wanted to thank you again for giving me the wonderful résumé tips, that started companies calling me for job interviews. It was a game changer. You suggested that I combine two jobs into one because one company was acquired three months after I started, and I was laid off 10 months after we were acquired, so it looked like I was a job hopper. Which I'm not. I’m very happy where I’ve landed now, but I wish you the very best of success and will always be grateful for that wonderful tip." -Nikki

Your word-smithing has worked wonders
"This looks great, thank you for all of the helpful info in addition to the resume revamp. Your word-smithing has worked wonders for me. I printed this out and showed it to my wife and she was quite impressed as well." -Dan
After your assistance, I ended up getting four bites
"On the job front, it's been excellent for me recently. I went about 6 months with only a few nibbles, but after your assistance, I ended up getting four bites. Since then, I made it to the final round with three companies almost simultaneously and have decided to accept an offer to become a CISO for a FinTech company. Really great opportunity that I couldn't turn down." -Neilson
Would highly recommend
"Blake is great at doing these services and has done so for over a decade as a professional recruiter, etc. He not only did an extensive overhaul of my resume, but he asked me lots of underlying questions beforehand in order to tailor my resume to the correct audience. He also gave me great advice and pointers on how to individually tailor my resume when applying to specific jobs or industries, etc. Would highly recommend others to go through the service, especially if you haven't had a professional review in some time." -Daniel
