Why should I join this program?

It's extremely difficult to proactively search for a job while you are working. And if you are not working and losing your salary weekly, then you could be losing quite a bit of income, especially if you are not optimizing efforts to cut your time in 1/2.

If you are waiting for a recruiter to pick you up, let's dissect what a recruiter really does. They work for companies, not the individual. If they happen to have an opportunity opening up and you are a good fit, then great. Otherwise, they are not proactively looking for you. This could really add to your time and cost $7K-$15K per month. So you are entrusting one person to find you a job, but they are looking at multiple candidates for 1 role.

Depending on our strategy, we show you how to target types of companies, staffing agencies, and search firms on your behalf through a personal email campaign that we show you step-by-step how to set up. This will greatly decrease your search time by months.

Our Competitors

There are not many companies that do this because most recruiters find it far easier to find multiple candidates for 1 role for a company vs finding multiple roles for 1 candidate. Therefore, the competition is not fierce. At Career5, we are dedicated to working with individuals and we partner with recruiting firms for companies that need candidates. Recruiters generally always work for companies. Reverse recruiters work for individuals. We truly enjoy this work because we get to know our clients and get them reacquainted with their unique value so they proactively land the roles that will help their career and salary trajectories, but more importantly, help them to continue to grow and make a positive impact in organizations.

There are other companies that offer similar services:

FindMyProfession (Costs are $2499, $3499, and $4999 per 4 weeks)- they are similar to Ascend5 but do not take a branded marketing and consultative strategy to this approach and are much more expensive.

Resume Spice ($799 to $1199 per/mo) - They only apply for you. They do not customize, align, keyword optimize, and network out around the roles. They do not reverse recruit. They do not coach. They do not initially revise and brand your resume with you.

The Barret Group- (Prices from $9,000 - $12,500 for Executive and C-Suite Jobs.)They do not apply to jobs or reverse recruit on your behalf. Each package is customized so pricing is not set or posted online.

Stewart, Cooper & Coon ($10,000- $15,000) - They focus on reputation management through articles and branding. They do not reverse recruit or apply for jobs.

Browning & Associates: (Prices from $12,500 - $17,500 for Executive and C-Suite Jobs). You pay even if they don't land a job. Custom quoting, email campaigns, and they don't apply for you. They coach.

Why is an authentic personal brand important?

Ultimately, your brand is your legacy. It is the way you are known today and how you will be remembered when you leave. It reflects who you are, which is more important than what you do. Your legacy is the most realistic representation of how you lived, behaved, and interacted with others, and how they felt about you. We work with all of our clients to build authentic brands!

"More than half of employers won't hire potential candidates without some sort of online presence today." - Career Builder
