My searches come first.
I place executives through retained searches that companies hire me to run.
-
If I'm running a search that fits you
I contact you.
You don't need to buy or apply for that to happen.
-
If I'm not
Advisory.
The intel, feedback, and direction to run your own search.
Buying advisory doesn't earn you a place in my searches, and it doesn't change how I evaluate you if one fits.

"Kate helped me turn a scattered resume into a powerful narrative. Two weeks later, I had three interviews lined up, and one of them became my dream role."
René Lassauzet, SVP Brand Creative"After our coaching sessions, I finally stopped underselling myself. I negotiated a 22% salary increase and felt genuinely confident walking into every conversation."

Is this career coaching?
No. It's a hiring-side read built on 20+ years and hundreds of leader placements across Design, Product, Marketing, Brand, and Creative.
How long does it take?
Your Brief is delivered 3 to 5 business days after you submit your intake. We then use the 60-minute session to work through it.
I'm not actively interviewing yet. Is this still useful?
Yes, and it's often the best time, before an important opportunity appears and not in the middle of a process.
Will you submit me to your searches or to employers?
I only put forward candidates for the searches my clients retain me to run. If one fits, I'll contact you. I don't submit your résumé or contact employers on your behalf as part of the Brief.
Does buying the Brief put me in line for your searches?
No. Advisory and search are separate. If I'm running a search that fits you, I'll reach out whether or not you've worked with me.
Do you use AI to build the Brief?
I use AI-assisted tools to compile research and assemble the draft. Every score, read, and recommendation is mine, and I review each section against what I know before it reaches you.
Is our work confidential?
Yes. Your search and materials are private client information and are not shared with your employer or professional network.
Does the Brief guarantee a role?
No. Hiring decisions involve factors neither of us controls. The Brief gives you an experienced view of your position before your next decision.
