How Steve landed a Director of Cloud Infrastructure role in under 45 days, as a returning client

Steve is a second-time client. He had used us two years earlier, and came back out of work, having spent about five weeks searching on his own first. He landed a Director of Cloud Infrastructure and Security Operations role at Exceedance, an insurtech company, in under 45 days.

A returning client is a different kind of evidence

He did not need convincing that the method works, which removes the usual scepticism from the story entirely. What he noticed instead was that the service had changed.

“I probably did that for about five weeks before I reached out to you again. And this time around it was a very different experience, much more hands-on, much more engaged. That concierge approach that you’re taking now really made things easy. I had a very clear list of items that I needed to do.”

Starting from a foundation, not from scratch

“That happened very quickly once I had the onboarding call. Within two or three days I think they had turned the resume around. We had a great foundation from the one that you all had created the first time around, two years ago. So there was just fine-tuning.”

He is candid that timing helped

Included because it is the sort of qualifier a testimonial normally leaves out.

“A lot of it had to do with timing, honestly. As I started getting contacts back from the hiring managers or HR recruiters, it seemed as though PTO was a huge factor, because we were hitting it in that June window.”

• About 5 weeks searching alone before returning to us
