Launch · Getting you in front of hiring managers
Four sessions. One working motion.
Conversations with the people who can hire you — and the confidence to run the outreach yourself.
The Outcome
What you're buying is access.
A named list of the people who can actually hire you at companies that fit your background — and four working sessions building the motion that reaches them. That is the part you cannot manufacture on your own.
The change is simple to describe: you stop applying into silence and start having conversations with the people who decide. Everything below exists to produce that one shift.
Nobody struggles with this because the tools are hard. They struggle because putting yourself out in public feels exposing. I was scared the first time I posted too. So we don't do a walkthrough and hope. We sit on the same screen and do the real thing, on real people, until it stops feeling like a risk.
It is worth understanding why that works, because it is the whole point. Going direct skips two gates at once.
Gate One
The ATS queue
Almost everyone who wants that job is sitting in it, hoping the keywords line up. Going direct means you are not in it at all.
Gate Two
The fee nobody talks about
The other candidates who do reach that hiring manager directly arrive through an agency — with thirty or forty thousand dollars in placement fees attached. You arrive with none.
To the person who has to sign for the hire, that is not a small difference. Who do you think gets first preference?
None of this depends on a job being posted. The roles that fit you best are routinely filled before they are ever advertised, and at companies growing this fast a great many are created around the right person. That is why your target list is built from funded companies rather than open requisitions — and why our sessions focus on identifying the actual hiring manager and reaching them directly, not on optimizing another application into a queue.
An empty careers page is not a closed door — it is usually just an early one. And the companies where you already applied and heard nothing back are not out of play either. You went in the way everyone goes in.
Those are not closed doors. They were front doors. We go back in a different way.
The Method
Three pillars.
Pillar One
Positioning
So the right people can find you, and know what you are in six seconds. Headline, About, experience, and the proof that backs it.
Pillar Two
Content engagement
Top of funnel. Your name becomes familiar to the people you are about to reach out to — before you ever reach out.
Pillar Three
Direct access
The named decision-makers inside your target companies, and the outreach motion that actually gets to them.

The toolbox, the CRM, and me.
The toolbox — the Identity Shift Kit
Every piece is built from your record — your background, your numbers, your market. None of it is a template with your name dropped in. Built once, handed into your own Google Drive, yours to keep whether we work together again or not.
- Your LinkedIn presence rebuilt — headline, About, and experience written around outcomes See an example →
- The executive walking deck and your 30-60-90 plan See an example →
- Brand wrappers — executive bio, one-pager, recruiter brief, recruiter resume See an example →
- An ATS-clean resume See an example →
- Your Opportunity Map See an example →
- Your Executive SWOT See an example →
- TalentGuy AIOS — 23 AI skills that run the search See an example →
- The 12-module video course, yours for life
Your own CRM — built for you, yours to keep
Not a login to my portal — your own board, built around your target companies and your decision-makers, and handed to you like the rest of the toolbox. Every touch logged, every follow-up surfaced on the day it is due, and your outreach templates pre-built in the cockpit so you never start from a blank box. It is the same system I run my own business on, and it stays yours whether we work together again or not — still tracking your target companies and your interview stages long after the four sessions are done.

Me, for four sessions
This is the actual product. We build your Social Selling Index, grow your profile views and followers, warm the funnel through content engagement, then go outbound — lead generation from social plus direct outreach to your target companies, all on LinkedIn. Live, on a shared screen, with you doing the clicking. See an example →
That list is the toolbox, not the point. Every piece of it is custom-built for you — your record, your target market, your decision-makers — and it exists so the four sessions have something to run on. What you are actually paying for is the motion and the access.
How It Works
Four sessions. We do them together.
Your positioning locked — who you are to a buyer, in one sentence they can act on. Then the whole toolbox goes into your Drive. Built once, delivered, done.
Screen shared, live, on real people. We pull up an actual recent post from someone on your list, run it through the engagement skill, and you comment. Then we do it again with five more. Tomorrow morning the notifications land and you already know exactly what to do.
We work your market down to the prime targets off your Opportunity Map — roughly 12 companies and 15 named decision-makers, with their profiles, in your own list. A reasonable sample to kick you off. We also reboot the companies that went quiet on you, because a closed req was never a closed company.
You press send, with me right there, until it stops feeling like a risk. Connection requests using the note generator, then DMs where the profile is open. Real messages from your account to real people — not a demo. Then the CRM goes live.
Where You Land
Loaded and pointed.
At the end of the fourth session you are ready to get after it — a message that lands, a funnel warming up, a named list of people who can hire you, and the reps to reach them without flinching.
And when the replies start coming in, send them to me. Interview questions, follow-ups, what to say next.

The Investment
One number for the whole thing. Four working sessions, the toolbox into your Drive, your target list of named decision-makers, and the CRM live — plus me on the other end when the replies start coming in.
