Land Your Next Job Faster. Getting in front of decision-makers shouldn't be this hard.

We're the former placement engineers behind Silicon Valley's top career accelerators, and we've done this thousands of times. We're currently rolling out our standalone Career Representation™ pods in an Invite-Only Private Beta.

You could fire up LinkedIn Sales Navigator yourself and spend your evenings hunting down hiring managers one by one. Or you could let our team run that hunt for you, every single week, while you keep your evenings.

Calculate Lost Income

Pure Career Execution. Zero Bloat. Flat fees. We execute up to 100+ applications and network with decision-makers on your behalf every week. You just show up for the interviews.

You're not the problem. The system is.

Let's be real — job searching right now is soul-crushing. You tailor each resume. You rewrite the same cover letter. You refresh your inbox hoping for literally anything. And most of the time? Nothing.

You don't have 80 hours a month to fight algorithms. We do.

Doing this right means living inside LinkedIn Sales Navigator — hunting down the right hiring manager, tailoring a resume, tracking who replied — for 60-80 hours a month. If you have a job, you can't do this. If you don't, you burn out. We run that hunt at industrial scale, every week, so you don't have to.

Applying alone makes you look desperate. We change that.

Applying as an individual signals neediness. Applying through a Representative signals status and professional value. Stop applying alone. Start applying with leverage.

75% of resumes? Never seen by a human. We fix that.

Our ATS optimization and direct outreach ensure you bypass the digital trash can and land in front of a real person.

Our Origin

Built by Industry Insiders

We didn't start Career Representation™ by guessing what works. Our foundation was forged inside the IT and Cybersecurity placement pipelines of one of Silicon Valley's largest tech career accelerators. Operating directly under the founders at Pathrise, we were part of the backend execution network that built pipelines, ran proxy networking, and drove high-level placements.

But as the traditional Income Share Agreement (ISA) model collapsed under its own weight, we realized the backend execution was the only part that actually mattered. We left to build SBM. We're not here to give you more advice — you've had enough advice. We're here to do the actual grunt work: applications, outreach, follow-ups, so you can just focus on showing up and closing the deal.

Why We Are in Stealth

For years, our team acted as the "white-label" execution engine for massive career tech platforms. We did the heavy lifting; they took the credit (and the massive percentage of your salary).

We are currently operating a Private Beta of SBM to prove that direct, proxy-led execution is faster, cheaper, and more effective without the institutional bloat. We have zero marketing budget because 100% of our focus is on our active execution pods.

The Hidden Cost of "Waiting"

Every month you spend searching manually is a month of lost income. See exactly what your DIY approach is costing you.

  • Lost salary from delayed placement
  • Hours wasted on scrolling LinkedIn
  • Missed internal opportunities

We don't coach. We do the work you hate.

We're not here to give you more advice. You've had enough advice. Think of us as your Sales Navigator operator — we do the searching, the targeting, and the outreach; you just take the calls. Here's the architecture behind it.

01

Authority Positioning

We rebuild your resume and LinkedIn not just for keywords, but for authority. We position you as the prize, not the applicant.

02

Live Execution Dashboard

No black boxes. You get a live Google Sheet dashboard tracking every single application, email sent, and recruiter response in real-time. We don't ghost you. We don't black-box you. You see everything.

03

Dedicated Inbox Monitoring

We provision a dedicated job-search email and monitor the inbox daily. You never miss an interview request, phone screen, or recruiter reply.

04

The Execution Pod

You aren't alone. You have a dedicated Slack channel connecting you to your Execution Rep and Strategist. We're your execution team — not your coach. Async updates, zero fluff meetings.

Recruiters Aren't Your Agents. We Are.

Cross-Border Placement

Built for the US ⇄ Japan Talent Corridor

A large share of our IT and Cybersecurity placements sit at the intersection of Japan, the US, the UK, and Europe — professionals moving into multinational companies with a major footprint on both sides of the Pacific. Our team understands the hiring cycles, language, and expectations of both markets.

On-the-Job Support (OJS)

We don't stop at getting you your ideal job. Starting a new role can be daunting, especially in a technical or high-stakes field. That's why we offer a personalized On-the-Job Support program to help you navigate your new workplace, understand your responsibilities, and leverage available resources effectively.

For technical roles, that includes access to realistic, cloud-based practice labs that replicate your company's specific environment — tools, processes, baselines, policies, procedures, frameworks, and standards. Across every field we place into, OJS is built around the same goal: help you build confidence, sharpen your expertise, and contribute effectively from day one, while minimizing the risk of early on-the-job mistakes.

Role-Specific Practice

For technical roles, cloud-based labs modeled on your new employer's actual tools and processes.

Frameworks & Standards

Get oriented on the policies, baselines, and frameworks specific to your industry and role.

Day-One Confidence

Walk in ready to contribute, with fewer early missteps and a faster ramp-up.

OJS is provided at no charge and is entirely optional — use it if it's useful to you, skip it if it's not. It's designed to support a smooth transition and set you up for long-term success in your new role, whatever field you've placed into.

Frequently Asked Questions

Timeline: Can vary a ton depending on what roles are opening up, how many people are applying, and what our partner companies are looking for. It can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to lock things in. Hang tight while we work behind the scenes, and we'll keep you in the loop every step of the way! More interviews. Less burnout. That's the goal.

Active Career Representation is more than just finding your next job; it's a commitment to your long-term career growth. We'll help you secure your next role by acting as your execution arm.

Think of it like this: instead of you paying for LinkedIn Sales Navigator and spending hours a week searching it yourself, our team runs that search engine on your behalf — finding the decision-makers, tailoring the pitch, and making contact, all under your name as your authorized representative.

Specifically, your program includes:

  • Resume & LinkedIn Optimization: Tailored for Authority Positioning.
  • Dedicated Email & Inbox Monitoring: We provision and watch a dedicated email for you daily.
  • High-Volume Application Execution: 50 to 100+ applications per week, fully prepared and queued by us — a quick one-tap approval is all it takes on your end.
  • Managed Proxy Networking: Acting as your authorized representative, we perform direct outreach to hiring decision-makers on your behalf — and we identify ourselves as your representation, not as you.

We've successfully placed candidates through our internal efforts and strong working relationships with headhunters and recruiters. Most clients with reasonable expectations see a 50-80% success rate within the first one to three months, rising to 95% for clients who stay engaged over a full 6-month period.

Our approach works because we don't just "apply." Acting as your authorized representative — and identifying ourselves as such — we use Managed Proxy Networking to bypass the black hole of ATS systems and reach decision-makers directly on your behalf.

We work in 30-day execution cycles:

  • Week 1: Authority Positioning (Resume + LinkedIn overhaul).
  • Week 2+: Execution Engine activates. We prepare and queue 50-200+ applications/week. Where a platform's terms allow submission by an authorized representative, we handle it as your rep; where a platform requires the applicant to submit personally, you review and hit submit on your own account — either way, every attestation and EEOC disclosure is completed by you, not us.
  • Ongoing: We monitor your dedicated inbox for interview requests and handle networking follow-ups.
  • Interviews: Once you land interviews, we provide prep and negotiation support.

In practice, this replaces the hours you'd otherwise spend on LinkedIn Sales Navigator yourself — our team runs the searches, builds the target list, and executes outreach, so your only job is reviewing and showing up.

Execution Sample: Direct Outreach

Sample outreach message available upon request during your consultation.

Example of outreach sent on your behalf as your authorized representative — identified as such to the recipient — a standard staffing-industry practice known as Right to Represent.

Yes, and we provide it for you.

For ALL plans, we provision a dedicated job search email. This is critical for two reasons: it keeps your personal inbox clean, and it allows our team to monitor your inbox daily to ensure no interview request or recruiter message is ever missed. We act as your eyes and ears.

To be clear: this doesn't extend to legally protected disclosures. Self-identification and veteran status questions (EEOC/VEVRAA) are voluntary and personal to you, so we never pre-fill or complete those fields — not partially, not as a default you approve. You answer that section yourself, every time.

Yes. Once we secure you interviews, you'll work with our placement team or strategist. These sessions are tailored to the exact types of roles we are placing you in, helping you refine your answers and boost your confidence.

We operate on a strictly flat-fee model for all tiers. There is NO success fee or backend percentage taken from your salary. You simply pay the flat fee to cover your execution pod's infrastructure and labor, and you keep 100% of your signing bonus.

We start optimizing your profile in Week 1. By Week 2, we begin aggressive outreach. Most clients start seeing interview opportunities within 2-3 weeks of the campaign launching. The typical timeframe to secure a job offer averages between 1 to 3 months, though executive roles may take longer.

Guarantees: Let's be upfront: we guarantee execution, not employment. We guarantee we will do the work — 50, 100, or 200+ applications per week, plus direct outreach to decision-makers. We guarantee your resume and LinkedIn get rebuilt for authority. We guarantee we'll monitor your inbox daily so you never miss a recruiter. But we can't guarantee a job offer or how many interviews it generates — that's up to employers. What we can guarantee is that you won't waste 80 hours a month fighting algorithms alone, and that you'll have a team in your corner doing the work you'd rather not do.

Cancellations: Our service is month-to-month. You can pause or cancel at any time by emailing support. Refunds are available on a sliding scale only within the first 30 days of service.

We focus on high-paying roles ($100k+) across:

  • Tech & Engineering: AI, Cyber, Cloud, Software, Product.
  • Business & Finance: Sales, Ops, Accounting, Management.
  • Healthcare: Admin, Nursing, specialized roles.
  • Professional Services: Legal, HR, Marketing.

A significant portion of our IT and Cybersecurity placements are cross-border, connecting candidates with multinational companies operating across the US, Japan, the UK, and Europe. See our Global Reach section for more.

The Active Hunter is our core execution engine available only in the USA, UK, Canada, and EU. To qualify, you must have an active LinkedIn account and a completed SBM Profile.

You start with a one-time $99 flat fee. This covers your onboarding, ATS resume alignment, and your execution pod. If our team determines your profile is unplaceable in the current market, or if you fail to engage with our process, we will cancel your representation and refund your deposit in full to cut our losses.

Absolutely. We are your continuous career partner. Once you are placed, you can transition to our "Career Insurance" plan or simply pause and reactivate us when you are ready for your next move.

Pricing is dynamic for new clients, but once you subscribe, your rate is locked in as long as you remain active. If you pause, you can resume at your original rate.

We work with a diverse range of multinational clients across tech, pharma, and finance. Our Executive tier specifically targets confidential transitions and high-level opportunities for professionals with $200K+ target salaries.

We also specialize in the US ⇄ Japan corridor, targeting IT and Cybersecurity roles at major Japanese enterprises as well as US, UK, and European multinationals with a large Japan footprint. See our full Global Reach breakdown above.

Every client gets a dedicated email for us to manage. Proxy Networker and Executive clients also receive a Custom Domain (e.g., you@yourname.com) which boosts authority and deliverability when we contact executives on your behalf.

If we haven't secured a role, we reassess the strategy (roles, industry, resume). You can always transition between tiers, or simply cancel if you feel we aren't a fit. You only pay for the representation you received.

We use a dedicated Slack Channel for all communication. This gives you direct, asynchronous access to your Execution Rep and Strategist without the need for constant Zoom calls. You also have 24/7 access to your Live Execution Dashboard (Google Sheet) to see exactly what we are doing.

While we handle 90% of the manual labor, your "job" is to be the Closer. We require you to: 1) Respond to interview requests within 24-48 hours, 2) Keep us updated on your interview stages via Slack, and 3) Show up prepared for the calls we book for you.

If you secure a role through a personal connection or a previous application not initiated by our engine, you owe us nothing further. You can simply cancel your subscription. We only claim a "Win" for leads generated via our managed dashboard.

An introduction is any instance where our team connects you to a hiring manager or recruiter—whether via direct application, LinkedIn proxy outreach, or email. Every action is logged transparently on your Live Execution Dashboard so attribution is always clear.

You are the CEO of your career. If an offer doesn't align with your requirements, you have every right to decline it. We simply recalibrate our targeting and continue the execution engine until we find the role you are excited to sign for.

First, you create a free profile and upload your current resume. Second, you place your flat fee checkout. Immediately after your payment is processed, you will be prompted to schedule a quick kickoff call with a member of our Opportunity Sourcing Team.

During this call, their strategic insights will help map out your ATS resume rewrite, your LinkedIn profile revamp, and our networking execution strategy. This ensures our agents are perfectly aligned with your target roles before we start sending applications.

Cost: $20 one-time onboarding. This covers vetting, profile setup, and access to our project pipeline.

How we earn: We take a 10-15% success fee only when you secure a project through our network. You only pay when you win work.

What you get:

  • Access to enterprise consulting projects
  • Client onboarding, contracting, and invoicing handled by us
  • Network of former Big 4 and FAANG experts
  • Cross-referral opportunities
  • Partner community access (Slack, events, thought leadership)
  • Choose your engagements (remote, hybrid, or on-site)

Commitment: None. Choose the projects that fit your expertise and availability. Pause or leave anytime.

Who qualifies: Independent consultants and boutique firms with 5+ years in cybersecurity, IT auditing, or related fields.

Often, yes — Sales Navigator (or an equivalent) is one of several tools our team uses as your representative to identify hiring managers and decision-makers who match your target roles.

The difference is you're not the one paying for the license, learning the search filters, or spending your evenings scrolling it. We run those searches, build the target list, and handle the outreach under your name and with your approval as your authorized representative — you just review who responded.

Yes. Alongside our core US, UK, Canada, and EU coverage, a dedicated portion of our IT and Cybersecurity pipeline targets multinational companies operating in both Japan and the West — from major Japanese enterprises expanding globally to US, UK, and European firms with large Japan operations.

See the full breakdown in our Global Reach section above. If cross-border placement is your goal, mention it during your kickoff call so we can align your target list from day one.
