THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE

The Numbers Don’t Lie

300+ applications land on every role within 48 hours (REC, 2025)
75% of CVs never reach human eyes — AI screens them out first (Stanford CV, 2025)
Traditional job searching is dead. Firing off applications and hoping for the best doesn’t cut it anymore. You need a system. You need strategy. You need someone who’s sat on the other side of that hiring desk and can tell you exactly how decisions are really made.
SEE HOW WE CAN HELP

You’re Not Imagining It. It Is Harder.

There’s a moment that happens in almost every job search. You refresh your inbox. Nothing. You check LinkedIn. Nothing. You convince yourself it’s timing. Or budgets. Or the market will pick up next quarter. Then three weeks pass. And the doubt creeps in. Let me say this clearly — you are not off the pace. The mechanics of hiring have changed. Volume has exploded. Judgement time has shrunk. Risk tolerance has tightened. That combination changes everything.

87% of companies now use AI in their recruitment process (Various industry studies, 2025)

WHAT WE DO

Career Coaching Built From the Inside of Recruitment

Most career coaches have never hired anyone. We have over 1,000 times. That’s the difference. Every session we run is built around the Stand Out, Get Hired methodology a proven system developed from 30 years of recruitment experience, refined through hundreds of coaching engagements, and backed by the same frameworks used in our book. We don’t give you motivational pep talks. We give you a Personal Value Proposition that positions you as the answer to a hiring problem. A CV that works in under six seconds. A LinkedIn profile that makes recruiters come to you. An outreach strategy that gets you into conversations with the people who actually make hiring decisions. This isn’t theory. This is what works.
Why Choose Us

Proven Frameworks. Real Results.

The Art of Three

Your career distilled into three clear signals — your superpower, your reputation, and your results pattern. Panels remember contrast, not paragraphs. Three anchors create that contrast.

Personal Value Proposition

Your professional identity in one powerful statement. Not a tagline a positioning tool that underpins your LinkedIn, your CV, and the first words out of your mouth in an interview.

The Five Second Rule

Recruiters scan a CV in five to six seconds before deciding to read or discard. Every material we build with you is designed to pass that test.

The 30/30 Power List

30 target companies. 30 relevant contacts. A structured outreach system that gets you into real conversations — not the application black hole.

The APPLY Framework

Our AI prompting system for job seekers. Use AI properly, keep it sounding like you, and make it a genuine advantage — not a shortcut that gets you caught out.

Outplacement Support for Teams
We run on-site workshops and virtual sessions for corporate teams and departing employees. Personal branding, networking strategy, outplacement support — the same SOGH methodology, delivered at team level. Whether it’s internal mobility, leadership development, or redundancy support we help your people present their value with confidence and clarity.
