    Frequently Asked Questions

    Maybe! This service is perfect if you have a clear picture of what you want and seek a confidential partner to do the legwork of jump starting your job search.

    Without the proper time investment or the right resources, it's tough to gain traction as a job seeker. Likewise, finding and applying to quality jobs is a chore.

    Job Concierge is designed to compliment your existing job search, providing an extra push to help you stand out and secure the opportunities you’re after.

    From C-Suite to entry, we help professionals of all experience levels, occupations, and industries. Simply tell us what you’re after and we'll take action on your behalf.

    Job Concierge is a collaborative process where we apply to jobs on your behalf as well as send your Resume to recruiting firms and employers (companies).

    After placing your order, the process begins with an online introductory questionnaire followed by a telephone intake call to discuss your situation and job search goals.

    Next, we put together a list of recruiting firms and company talent networks to send your Resume to. After that, we begin searching for and applying to jobs on your behalf.

    We use premium tools including Jobscan for modifying your Resume before each application and LinkedIn to send a follow up message after every job application.

    All activity is recorded on a spreadsheet including jobs we've applied to, recruiting firms and companies we've sent your Resume to, and accounts we've created for you.

    Finding opportunities aligned with your specific criteria takes time. Job Concierge is open-ended; there's no set expiration date for when your credits must be used.

    The timeline is ultimately flexible and its duration varies depending on several factors including your level of urgency and selectiveness. You should budget a bare minimum of 1-2 months for the Job Concierge process to play out.

    Job application submissions are the key unique selling point of this service. We provide a fully managed service of applying to individual job postings on your behalf.

    This involves finding jobs aligned with your criteria, modifying your Resume and Cover Letter for each job (using Jobscan premium), navigating each company's unique application process, and following up on all submissions (using LinkedIn InMail).

    To improve your odds of success, we avoid using large job boards and only apply to jobs on first-party sites (individual company websites).

    We identify and send your Resume directly to multiple recruiting firms.

    Sending your Resume to recruiting firms is a useful strategy for connecting you with agencies that may have placement opportunities aligned with your background.

    This serves as an expression of interest in connecting with recruiters and positioning yourself as a placement-worthy candidate.

    We identify and send your Resume directly to multiple companies (in the form of talent network submissions).

    Joining a company's talent network is useful for expressing your interest in becoming an employee of that company (without actually applying to a job).

    This increases your visibility in the company's talent pipeline and positions you to potentially be contacted by internal recruiters at that company.

    We use Jobscan's premium service for analyzing and revising your Resume before each job application submission to ensure it's optimized for ATS.

    Based on Jobscan’s analysis, we make modifications to your Resume to incorporate relevant keywords and optimize alignment with the job posting.

    We promise you a minimum Jobscan match score of >75% for each job – which is considered a strong benchmark for performing well with ATS.

    Using LinkedIn InMail, we identify the key decision maker and send a follow up message after all job applications (approximately 7-14 days after initial submission).

    Follow up helps to ensure your submission isn't lost in the shuffle, reaffirms your interest, and may reveal insights about the status of your application.

    Unfortunately, no. This service is only meant for applying to private sector jobs.

    Job Concierge includes full access to our entire library of exercises, guides, and worksheets which are free to download within the customer portal.

    We send your Resume and accompanying Recruiter Letter to 500 to 2,000+ recipients at staffing and search firms across the country. Sending your Resume to recruiters is a fast, convenient, and pain-free way to jump start your job search.

    For example, we'll send your Resume to recruiters at well-known national search firms like Korn Ferry, Heidrick & Struggles, and Christian & Timbers as well as smaller firms (based on your industry, occupation, and experience level).

    Making contacts in the recruiting world is extremely valuable for job seekers. Of course, doing that on your own can be time-consuming and difficult. This service puts you in touch with 500 to 2,000+ recruiters with one click of a button.

    First, we develop a Recruiter Letter that accompanies your Resume during send-off. This letter is intended to communicate your qualifications, share the context of your situation, and capture interest from recruiters.

    Next, your Resume and Recruiter Letter are emailed to approximately 500 to 2,000+ individual recipients at staffing and search firms across the country (or PE / VC firms) based on relevancy as it pertains to your industry, occupation, and experience level.

    Finally, after sendoff you receive an MS Excel spreadsheet with a list of all the recipients and their contact information. This allows you to conduct follow-up with recruiters to capture their attention and take an interest in your situation.

    After your documents are distributed, those parties interested in learning more about you will reach out directly. This outreach is usually a telephone call or email correspondence to make contact and setup time for discussion.

    Resume Distribution is a one-time sendoff. Results vary from person to person depending on many factors. Please see the FAQs on the Resume Distribution page for more information.

    Job Concierge saves you time by submitting job applications on your behalf.

    However, applying to jobs isn't your only option. A significant portion of job openings never make it to a company's website and are instead part of the hidden job market, requiring contact with actual human beings (i.e. recruiters and hiring managers).

    Adding Resume Distribution to your Job Concierge package provides the added benefit of sending your Resume to hundreds upon thousands of recruiters.

    By combining Job Concierge with Resume Distribution, you gain access to recruiters who have extensive connections with companies of all sizes and industries. This broadens your reach and helps you explore avenues beyond traditional job postings.

    Yes. This service makes a great gift for loved ones and friends.

    Simply place your order here on the website and include the name and email address of your gift recipient into the 'order notes' at checkout.

    The rates are tiered based on the number of job application submissions chosen.

    Job Concierge Levels

    • Standard ($1,995) promises 12 job application submissions, 12 recruiter agency submissions, and 12 talent network submissions.
    • Advanced ($2,495) promises 18 job application submissions, 18 recruiter agency submissions, and 18 talent network submissions.
    • Elite ($2,995) promises 24 job application submissions, 24 recruiter agency submissions, and 24 talent network submissions.

    The price you see is the price you pay; no sales tax, hidden fees, or upcharges.

    The entire Job Concierge process is performed manually and is quite time consuming.

    From finding jobs that meet your criteria, to modifying your Resume and Cover Letter for each role, to applying on your behalf, to following up on every submission - it requires a significant investment of time, energy, and resources.

  • Recruiter List for entry through executive-level professionals. Unlike Resume Distribution - which sends your Resume directly to recruiters - this solution offers access to those same recruiters (without distributing your Resume). You receive a spreadsheet with the names, titles, agency, phone numbers, and email addresses for 500 to 2,000+ recruiters. Recruiter List is perfect for those who prefer a more discreet approach. Tap into the power of human connection by using this list to do your own outreach and connect with agency recruiters. *For those targeting the startup ecosystem, there's also a VC List with contacts at venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) firms (substitute for recruiters).

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Simple. We tap into a database of 42,000+ contacts at staffing and search firms across the country and narrow the field based on your industry and/or functional expertise. You receive an MS Excel spreadsheet with the names, titles, agency, phone numbers, and email addresses for 500 to 2,000+ recruiters nationwide. You may use the list to conduct your own outreach by selectively calling or emailing recruiters to introduce yourself and attempt to get on their radar.
    Many jobs are never published online. Instead, these roles are filled through headhunting and/or word-of-mouth referrals. Some refer to this phenomenon as the 'hidden job market'. Having a list of recruiters at your disposal is a beneficial resource if you're seeking to introduce yourself to recruiters at staffing and search firms.
    It depends on things like your background, qualifications, timing, and luck. It also depends on how effective and committed your outreach efforts are. If sending outbound emails or making phone calls to introduce yourself isn't your cup of tea - please consider Resume Distribution instead.
    Your Recruiter List features individual recruiters at various agencies nationwide. Many recruiters have relationships with clients across multiple markets. For instance, a recruiter in Omaha might have openings to fill in Chicago. Therefore, the recruiter's location is not representative of where they have vacancies. The important thing about your geographic preferences is to make them clear when you reach out to recruiters, so they understand where your search is focused.
    Firms like Korn FerryHeidrick & Struggles, and Christian & Timbers basically serve as an intermediary between employers and job seekers. These firms help companies find qualified employees to fill a variety of different roles.
    For those targeting the startup ecosystem, we offer a list of contacts at venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) firms (substitute for recruiters). VC & PE firms like 5 AM VenturesCVC Capital Partners, and Lexington Partners are on the cutting edge within the startup ecosystem in providing capital to startups and rapidly growing small businesses. The VC & PE option is best for C-Suite leaders as well as entrepreneurial-minded professionals that are specifically targeting opportunities in the startup ecosystem; such as running a portfolio company or joining a company's board.
    Yes. This service makes a great gift for loved ones and friends. Simply place your order here on the website and include the name and email address of your gift recipient into the 'order notes' at checkout.
  • Resume Customization

    Price range: $95.00 through $1,195.00

    Resume Customization for entry through executive-level professionals. This is our signature service for tailoring your Resume for specific job announcements. Using Jobscan premium, we customize your Resume to mirror the keywords outlined in the job posting(s) of your choosing. The end result is a hyper-targeted Resume that improves your keyword matching performance with applicant tracking systems (ATS) and boosts your odds of success when applying online. Use the dropdowns below the FAQs to add Rush Service.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Maybe! This service is perfect if you're applying to jobs online and want to improve your Resume's performance with ATS.

    We use Jobscan's premium optimization tool to automate the process of analyzing your Resume against the job description you're applying to.

    For each job announcement, we promise to deliver a minimum Jobscan optimization score of at least 75% (which is considered strong).

    Jobscan is a popular tool used for identifying key skills, keywords, and formatting improvements to increase your chances of passing through ATS.

    Think of it as a tool that evaluates your Resume alongside the job you’re targeting - then pinpoints exactly what you can improve to strengthen the match.

    Pictured (below) is a screenshot of a Jobscan scoring example:

    Jobscan Premium - Job Concierge Process - JobStars USA

    Resume Customization begins with an introductory questionnaire followed by a short intake call to discuss your needs. Once the intake is complete, you’ll provide job descriptions one-by-one (either by uploading a file or sharing a link).

    Next, we use Jobscan’s premium technology to analyze how well your current Resume aligns with the target job posting. Based on Jobscan's analysis, we make strategic customizations to improve alignment and optimize for keyword performance.

    We guarantee a minimum Jobscan match score of 75% or higher - which is considered a strong benchmark for performing well with ATS. Once your customized Resume is ready, it's uploaded into the customer portal and made ready for immediate use.

    There is no set timeline for using your Resume Customization credits. Your credits never expire and can be used at any time, for any job posting you'd like.

    Once you provide a job description that you want your Resume tailored for, we pledge to deliver on the following timelines:

    • 5 business days after providing your desired job announcement
    • 3 business days for customization revisions (per each round)

    Rush (+$50 per) significantly expedites the Resume Customization process.

    Under the normal timeline, your customized Resume is ready in 5 business days (draft revisions in 3 business days). Rush (60% faster!) delivers your customized Resume in 2 business days (draft revisions in 1 business day).

    After providing your Resume Customization draft with a Jobscan match score of 75% or higher, we're happy to entertain any edits or revisions you'd like.

    The process for making revisions typically involves downloading the document in MS Word and using track changes / comments to make markups.

    We aim to provide timely and thorough responses. Please allow up to 3 business days turnaround time for each set of draft revisions.

    The rates are tiered based on the number of Resume Customization credits selected.

    Resume Customization Packages

    • 1 Job ($95) = 1 job announcement of your choosing.
