For twenty years I sat on the other side of the table — thousands of interviews, hundreds of hiring decisions, up to VP level. I’ll show you what employers really see in your resume, your LinkedIn and your interviews — and exactly what to change.

Sound familiar?
“I’m applying steadily and hearing nothing back — not even a rejection.”
“I know I can do the job. I can’t seem to say it in a way that lands.”
“I want to change direction, but every posting wants the exact title I don’t have.”
“I’ve been out for a while and I don't know how to frame the gap.”
“I make it to the final round, and that's where it stops.”
“They like me, then offer a role a level below what I had.”
In almost every case the problem isn't your experience. It's that the person screening you is reading it differently than you wrote it.
I look at your career the way the person hiring you does
20+ years in international recruiting and HR, from thirty‑person startups to IBM, and tens of thousands of resumes read. I’m not a coach who studied the hiring process. I ran it.
Hired to VP level. What's expected of a candidate changes at every level. I know where those lines fall — and how not to land a step below yours.
Six countries, three continents. The same experience reads differently in Toronto, Zurich and Buenos Aires. We translate yours into the language of one specific market.
15 years across Canada and the US. I scaled hiring at companies growing 400%+ in North America. I know who gets shortlisted and who gets cut in the first seven seconds.
Worked alongside business leaders. I saw the risk behind every decision to hire someone. Your job in an interview is to remove that risk before anyone names it.
I work in English, Russian and French.

Applying, but no replies
Resume & LinkedIn review
Why your profile isn’t converting into interviews — and what to change for the roles you’re targeting.
Strategy to Offer A 6‑ or 12‑week program for the full search — including a change of role, industry or country. Strategy, positioning, outreach, interviews and negotiation — worked through together. from $950 USD
Every format follows the same logic, so you know what you're paying for.
Before
You send your resume, LinkedIn and the roles or interview you're preparing for. I go through everything beforehand, so we start with substance, not introductions.
The work itself
Live or recorded, I look at your situation the way an employer does: how your level reads, where your value gets lost, what you'll need to explain. No templates — your material, your market.
After
Written takeaways within 1–3 business days, depending on the format. A full strategy comes with a 4–6 week plan; a live resume review includes a second look at your updated version.
What's next
Many clients come back for the next stage: a resume review after a strategy, a mock interview before a final round. Join Strategy to Offer within 14 days and your session fee is credited in full.
FAQ
No, and nobody honestly can. What I'm accountable for is that your positioning, your materials and your preparation match the market you're going after. The hiring decision belongs to the employer.
No. I show you exactly what to change and why, then review the result. A résumé written for you is one you can't defend in an interview.
I'm not an immigration advisor. I do know how employers in different countries handle sponsorship and relocation, and how to raise it in interviews and offer negotiations.
Twenty minutes. You describe the situation, I tell you what I see and which format makes sense. If none of them does, I'll say so.
English, Russian and French.
Not sure which one you need?
Twenty minutes on a call and we’ll figure out whether it’s a review, a strategy session or the full search. If it’s none of them, I’ll tell you that too.
