Coaching with a working tech recruiter
in LinkedIn Top VoiceI recruit for tech teams every week, and in our first session I share my screen and show you what your application runs into before a person reads it: the recruiter search for your target role and how the ATS (applicant tracking system) parses your CV. Then we fix it together, in the order that matters.
The 15-Minute Career Decision Review. Free. We'll work out which level fits, if any.
This is built for people who are
Moving from mid-level to senior and want to make the case with evidence, not hope
Switching into tech and need their experience read correctly
New to the ANZ market as international or relocating talent
Stepping into leadership and want to lead with a plan
Getting interviews but not offers, and can't find out why
Before I give you a single tip, I show you the machine
Most career advice is written by people guessing at what happens after you apply. I don't have to guess. So we start with the part most advice skips.
The ATS parse
What the software reduces your CV to before a human is involved. I score yours in Careersy AI on the call so you see it on your own CV, not a sample. This is an estimate of how that software reads it, not any employer's actual result.
The recruiter search
I run the search a recruiter would run for your target role, live, so you see whether you appear and where.
The “Open to Work” setting
How recruiters actually use it, and why I'll often suggest turning it on.
What happens after you apply
Why applying broadly to the same companies can work against you, and when a referral carries more weight than an application.
The Careersy method
Hiring moves toward whatever reduces risk for the person deciding. Most advice works on your substance. We work on your signal, so the people deciding can read you earlier and with less guesswork.
What the ATS and the recruiter search actually make of you today.
Your value in two sentences, then the CV, LinkedIn and interview answers built on them.
Fewer applications, more context: the right people, reached directly, with practice before each round.

Introductions, when they fit
Where I know someone at a company you're targeting and the fit is real, I make the introduction myself and coach you through the conversation. I make it when you're ready, not before, and only where I can vouch for you. It's part of Premium.
Your coaching hub
Every package comes with a private hub in Notion. I set it up when you start and you keep it after we finish.
- A recap page for every session, with the transcript and a summary
- Where you are now: your current stage and the one thing in flight
- Your standing plan, with progress marked
- The Resume Writing Method and LinkedIn Method guides
- Links to the tools you already have, including Careersy AI
Everything from your coaching sessions lives here. Each session gets its own page underneath this one, and your current plan stays at the top so there is one place to look.
Stage: LinkedIn profile rebuild, in flight.
The one thing in flight: Open to Work is off while you rebuild the profile. Five changes to make, then turn it back on and count the recruiter messages you get that week.

Who you'd be working with
I've been on the hiring side of ANZ tech for 13 years: agency recruitment for banks and household names, technology consulting, a fast-growing fintech, and now big tech. I started Careersy Coaching in 2021 because I kept watching capable people get cut for reasons nobody explained to them. I still recruit every week, so what I show you is what's happening to applications now, not what happened a decade ago.
