INDEPENDENT CAREER INTELLIGENCE

I research the job market. Then I act on what I find.

I investigate employers, hiring activity, and target roles against your professional background. The findings can become a sourced opportunity shortlist, role-specific application materials, or a managed job application campaign—depending on the work you commission.

You can request one defined deliverable or a broader assignment. We agree on the scope, price, and expected timeline before work begins.

Employer research · Résumés and positioning · Targeted applications

When a list of vacancies isn't enough

A posted job tells you a position has been advertised. It doesn't establish whether the employer is a sensible target, how your experience matches the role, or whether a different approach might be more effective.

I work primarily with experienced professionals, specialists, and people planning career transitions who need those questions investigated. Smaller, clearly defined assignments are available too.

What I can do for you

01

Job Market Research & Employer Intelligence

I investigate specific industries, locations, employers, and roles. I examine published openings, employer information, hiring signals, requirements, and potential opportunities that deserve further investigation.

Typical deliverables: a sourced employer shortlist, assessed opportunities, evidence and uncertainty notes, and recommended next actions.

02

Résumés, Cover Letters & Professional Positioning

I rebuild or tailor résumés and cover letters around your documented experience and the requirements of a target role. I also work on LinkedIn profiles, professional landing pages, and other career materials.

Typical deliverables: role-specific application documents, revised professional profiles, and clearly identified changes and supporting rationale where applicable.

03

Managed Job Applications

With your authorization, I research and select relevant positions, prepare role-specific materials, submit agreed applications, and track the work. This is a defined execution service, not bulk submission for its own sake.

Typical deliverables: a target-role list, submitted applications, an application tracker, and a record of actions taken.

04

Career Transition & Skills Roadmaps

When the target role is not yet a realistic match, I investigate what is missing: qualifications, practical experience, technical skills, market constraints, or positioning. I then map possible routes toward the objective.

Typical deliverables: a gap assessment, prioritized options, a development roadmap, and research references.

Specialized engagements include federal résumés, video résumés, executive positioning, and multi-market investigations.

What you receive should be usable—and checkable

An opportunity list without evidence is just another search result. I separate confirmed findings from signals and hypotheses, then explain why a particular employer or role deserves attention.

For example, an employer assessment can record:

EXAMPLE RESEARCH STRUCTURE — NOT A CLIENT CASE STUDY

Target
Employer, role, location, and date researched.
Sources
Relevant employer pages, job postings, or other public records.
Evidence status
Verified opening, observed hiring signal, or unconfirmed lead.
Candidate fit
Relevant experience, essential requirements, and material gaps.
Recommendation
Apply, investigate further, approach directly, monitor, or exclude.
Next action
The specific work required, with status and supporting references.

A hiring signal is not a job offer. A promising employer without an advertised vacancy is a lead, not a confirmed opening. I keep those distinctions visible rather than selling certainty where there is none.

From inquiry to delivery

01

Define the assignment

Describe your target role, industry, location, constraints, and what you need help with. Initial inquiries do not require you to send sensitive personal documents.

02

Agree on scope and price

I specify the proposed research or production work, deliverables, timetable, and fee in a written quotation. You approve it before work starts.

03

Research, produce, or execute

After secure intake, I perform the agreed work. Where applications are included, submissions and their status are recorded.

04

Deliver and close

You receive the agreed files and supporting records. After verified handover and any agreed review period, the dedicated processing environment is decommissioned under the applicable privacy procedures.

What does an engagement cost?

It depends on the work, not your job title alone. A single tailored document, an employer investigation, and a multi-week application campaign require different amounts of research and execution.

The Services page provides indicative budgets for representative assignments. Narrower work may cost less; extended or technically complex work may cost more. Every engagement receives its own written quotation before you commit.

Confidentiality is part of the service

Professional records can contain sensitive information. I use secure intake procedures and dedicated, single-client cloud working environments on AWS or Google Cloud for client processing work. These environments are not shared across client engagements.

After delivery and any agreed review period, the working environment is decommissioned and engagement-specific working data under my control is removed, subject to documented retention requirements. The Privacy Policy explains the limits of cloud deletion and records retained outside the working environment.

Enhanced confidential computing and separately prepared legal agreements are available by individual quotation where appropriate. Standard confidentiality is not an add-on.

Practical questions

Is this different from a recruiter or career coach?

Yes. I work for the client, not an employer filling vacancies. My work centers on researching the employment market, preparing evidence-based application materials, and executing commissioned tasks. I do not promise introductions to hiring managers or access to private vacancies.

Can you identify jobs that are not advertised?

Research can identify employers, hiring signals, and possible openings worth investigating beyond large job boards. An unadvertised opportunity is treated as a lead until there is evidence of an actual vacancy. I do not present speculative openings as confirmed jobs.

Can I commission only a résumé or only the research?

Yes. Services can be commissioned individually. You do not have to purchase a managed application campaign to request a document or a focused employer investigation.

How are prices determined?

The quote reflects the agreed deliverables, research depth, market complexity, application volume, and timetable. The indicative budgets on the Services page are examples, not fixed packages or minimum charges for all work.

Can you guarantee interviews or employment?

No. Hiring decisions are outside my control. I commit to the agreed work, its documentation, and delivery—not a result controlled by an employer.

How is my personal information handled?

Sensitive files are transferred through approved secure channels after the scope is agreed. Client processing uses an isolated working environment, and engagement-specific working copies are removed under the published retention and decommissioning procedures. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Tell me what you're trying to accomplish

Include the role or industry you're targeting, the relevant market or location, and whether you need research, application materials, managed applications, or something less conventional. A brief description is enough to start.

I'll assess the scope and explain what can be commissioned. No payment or sensitive document upload is required for an initial inquiry.

Do not attach or paste sensitive personal documents into the initial inquiry. Secure transfer instructions are provided if required.
