How Steve landed a Director of Cloud Infrastructure role in under 45 days, as a returning client

Steve is a second-time client. He used us two years earlier, and he came back to us out of work, after spending about five weeks searching on his own first. He landed a Director of Cloud Infrastructure and Security Operations role at Exceedance, an insurtech company, in under 45 days.

A returning client tells you something different

Steve did not need persuading that the method works, so his story has none of the usual is-this-real hesitation in it. What struck him this time was how much the service itself had changed.

“I probably did that for about five weeks before I reached out to you again. And this time around it was a very different experience, much more hands-on, much more engaged. That concierge approach that you’re taking now really made things easy. I had a very clear list of items that I needed to do.”

Two years of groundwork was already there

“That happened very quickly once I had the onboarding call. Within two or three days I think they had turned the resume around. We had a great foundation from the one that you all had created the first time around, two years ago. So there was just fine-tuning.”

He is honest that timing helped

I like that he said this, because it is exactly the kind of qualifier most testimonials quietly drop.

“A lot of it had to do with timing, honestly. As I started getting contacts back from the hiring managers or HR recruiters, it seemed as though PTO was a huge factor, because we were hitting it in that June window.”

The search in numbers

• About 5 weeks searching alone before returning to us
• Resume rebuilt within 2 to 3 days of onboarding
• Director of Cloud Infrastructure and Security Operations at Exceedance, in under 45 days
• Level: Director. Function: Platform and Infrastructure
