Who This Program Is For

Designed for professionals with a strong foundation.

Built to Hire is designed for professionals who already have a strong foundation in their field but are struggling to navigate the hiring market strategically.

This program may be a good fit if you are:

  • applying consistently but not hearing back
  • getting interviews but struggling to convert them into offers
  • unsure how to position yourself competitively
  • trying to transition into a new area within tech
  • struggling to communicate the business impact of your work
  • relying too heavily on cold applications
  • looking for more structure, accountability, and strategic guidance

Built to Hire primarily supports professionals working at the intersection of business, technology, strategy, and operations.

This often includes professionals in:

  • data and analytics
  • product and UX
  • business operations and strategy
  • marketing and growth
  • customer success and account management
  • sales enablement and revenue operations
  • technical program and project management
  • and other tech-adjacent professional roles

What We Work On Together

Not just more applications.
A stronger strategy.

The focus of Built to Hire is not simply "applying to more jobs." It's about building a stronger and more intentional strategy around how you approach your next career move.

Areas we may work on include:

01

Career Clarity & Strategy

Clarifying the types of roles that best align with your experience, strengths, goals, and long-term direction.

02

Positioning & Market Alignment

Learning how to communicate your experience in a way that feels clear, strategic, and relevant to hiring teams.

03

Resume & LinkedIn Strategy

Improving how your experience is framed and tailored for your target roles.

04

Networking & Visibility

Building a more intentional networking strategy that reduces overreliance on cold applications.

05

Interview Preparation

Developing stronger behavioral storytelling, business impact communication, and interview strategy.

06

Strategic Execution & Accountability

Creating a more structured and measurable job search process with clear priorities and momentum.

What Support Looks Like

Strategy. Execution. Accountability.

Built to Hire combines strategic guidance, practical execution support, and ongoing accountability.

The goal is not just to give you information. It's to help you build a clearer and more intentional process while having ongoing strategic support along the way.

Support includes:

  • one-on-one alignment session
  • weekly coaching sessions
  • Slack support
  • resume and LinkedIn feedback
  • application strategy
  • KPI and job search tracking
  • practical resources and templates
  • networking guidance
  • recruiter-informed market insights

Why This Approach Is Different

Not capability. Strategy.

Many talented professionals struggle in the hiring market not because they lack capability, but because they:

  • target roles too broadly
  • undersell their impact
  • rely too heavily on applications
  • or approach the search without a structured strategy

Built to Hire was designed from the perspective of someone who has worked inside the recruiting process and understands how hiring decisions are actually made.

The focus is not on gimmicks, hacks, or mass applying. It's on helping you navigate the hiring market more strategically and communicate your value more effectively.
