Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe!
This service is perfect if you're clear about what you want and seek a knowledgeable partner to do the legwork of getting your Resume in front of decision makers.
Without a clear strategy or the right resources, it's difficult to gain traction as a job seeker. Likewise, applying to jobs on the internet is time consuming and stressful.
From C-Suite to entry, we help professionals of all experience levels, occupations, and industries. Simply tell us what you’re after and let us do the heavy lifting.
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 get to work on your recruiter agency submissions and talent network submissions. Then, it's off to the races searching and applying to jobs on your behalf.
All job search activity is recorded on a shared spreadsheet including jobs we've applied to, recruiting firms and companies we've sent your Resume to, and accounts we've created on your behalf.
Click the following link to learn more about the Job Concierge process.
Job Concierge is best described as a multi-week to multi-month engagement.
The timeline varies depending on your particular situation (no expiration date).
This allows for selectively targeting the perfect jobs to apply to. It may also call for rapidly submitting multiple applications in a matter of days. Whatever your particular needs are, let us know and we'll work to accommodate them.
Job application submissions are the key unique selling point of this service.
We selectively apply to individual job postings on your behalf. This involves finding great openings that align with your criteria, tweaking your Resume and Cover Letter for each job, and navigating each company's unique process for submitting an application.
We identify and send your Resume directly to multiple recruiting firms.
Sending your Resume to recruiting firms is a strategy for jump starting your search by connecting you with third-party recruiting firms looking for candidates like you.
We identify and send your Resume directly to multiple companies (company talent networks).
Joining a company's talent network is a strategy for expressing your interest in becoming an employee of that company (without actually applying to a job).
After one week without a response, we proactively follow-up on all job application submissions through a variety of methods.
We identify key decision makers within the organization and conduct outreach to ensure your application isn't lost in the shuffle.
Yes. Although we much prefer using a JobStars created Resume, you are not required to work with us on your Resume in order to use Job Concierge.
If you have an up-to-date Resume that is in good shape, we’re happy to use that.
If the words on your Resume are 'pretty good', but it needs some sprucing up, please consider our budget-friendly Resume Refresh (starting at $250) for giving your Resume a visual makeover.
We revisit your Resume and Cover Letter before each job application to enhance your chances of getting noticed by hiring managers and securing interviews.
This involves tailoring your documents as well as adding relevant keywords to improve your performance with applicant tracking systems.
Unfortunately, no. This service is exclusively for applying to private sector jobs (non-Federal).
Job Concierge includes full access to our entire library of exercises, guides, and worksheets which are free to download within the client 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 contex8t 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 on its own is highly useful for applying to jobs on your behalf.
However, it's important to acknowledge that a significant portion of job opportunities never make it to company websites and are instead part of the 'hidden market', requiring contact with actual recruiters and hiring managers.
Adding Resume Distribution to your Job Concierge package provides the added benefit of sending your Resume to thousands of individual 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 package 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 manual process of finding great jobs, tailoring your Resume for each role, and applying to jobs on your behalf is time consuming! It calls for many hours of screen time from a knowledgeable and skilled Job Concierge. As such, the rates are tiered based on the number of job application submissions chosen.
