Done for you

We do the search. You make the decisions.

A good job search is dozens of hours of research, rewriting and form-filling. Hand it to an expert assistant who does it properly, and keep control of every decision that matters.

Your choice of approval

Approve every application yourself, or let your assistant approve roles that pass a detailed ATS and resume-fit score against your agreed criteria. You choose at onboarding and can switch at any time.

Your assistant does

  • Researches and shortlists relevant roles
  • Writes a fit note for every role
  • Tailors your resume and cover letter each time
  • Completes and submits the applications
  • Tracks everything and reports weekly

You do

  • Share your goals and non-negotiables
  • Approve your brief and profile
  • Approve applications, or set the criteria
  • Take the interviews

A recruiter working for you.

Most recruiters are paid by employers to fill roles. Reverse recruiting turns that around: you hire us to run your search, so our attention is on your goals, not someone else's vacancy.

Who pays
You, the candidate. Employers do not pay us.
What is included
Research, tailoring, applications, tracking and reports.
Who decides
Employers make hiring decisions. We never promise outcomes.

Our working commitments

  • Your criteria, written down

    Roles, locations, salary floor and exclusions are agreed in writing before the search begins.

  • Nothing invented

    Drafts only use experience you can evidence. Gaps are shown as gaps.

  • Visible activity

    Every application is recorded with what was sent, where and when.

  • Your approval, your way

    Approve every application yourself, or let your assistant approve roles that score well against your criteria.

Why people hand it over

A good search is a lot of careful, repetitive work.

The difficult part is rarely knowing what you want. It is finding the time to do the searching, form-filling and record-keeping well.

  • 01

    Searching takes hours and still misses things

    Roles are spread across boards, company sites and recruiters, each with different filters and alerts.

    How we respond: Your assistant searches all of them against one agreed brief and explains why each role made the shortlist.

  • 02

    The same form, again and again

    Every applicant tracking system asks for your history in a slightly different shape.

    How we respond: Your assistant completes and submits the applications for you, from your approved profile.

  • 03

    Tailoring every application is exhausting

    Rewriting a resume and cover letter for each role is slow, and versions quickly drift out of step.

    How we respond: Every application is tailored by your assistant from one master resume, with changes highlighted and facts kept intact.

  • 04

    Progress is hard to see

    Spreadsheets, inboxes and memory rarely add up to a clear picture of the search.

    How we respond: One activity record and a weekly report that keeps what happened separate from what we suggest.

How it works

Five steps. Most of them are ours.

At every stage it is clear what your assistant does and what you decide.

  1. STEP 1

    Define your goals

    A strategy conversation about where you want to go next, what you will and will not consider, and what your experience already proves.

    Your assistant
    Learns your career history and turns your resume and notes into one accurate master profile.
    You
    Check the profile and correct anything that is not quite right.
  2. STEP 2

    Agree criteria and exclusions

    Role titles, seniority, locations, remote preference, salary floor if you choose to share one, and employers you never want approached.

    Your assistant
    Writes your search brief and flags anything in it that pulls in different directions.
    You
    Sign off the brief and exclusion list. Change them at any time.
  3. STEP 3

    Prepare tailored applications

    For each shortlisted role, a tailored resume and cover letter that put your most relevant experience first.

    Your assistant
    Tailors your resume and cover letter for each role, and notes any requirement you do not meet.
    You
    See exactly what changed and why before anything is used.
  4. STEP 4

    Submit applications for you

    Your assistant completes the forms and submits each application, so you are not filling in the same details again and again.

    Your choice of approval

    Approve every application yourself, or let your assistant approve roles that pass a detailed ATS and resume-fit score against your agreed criteria. You choose at onboarding and can switch at any time.

    Your assistant
    Checks your exclusions and history, submits the application and records what was sent, where and when.
    You
    Approve applications under the authorization model agreed at onboarding.
  5. STEP 5

    Report and refine

    A clear weekly report that separates what happened from what your assistant suggests changing.

    Your assistant
    Reports on activity and responses, and proposes adjustments to the search.
    You
    Accept, reject or modify any proposed change.

What you see

Your whole search, at a glance.

You never wonder what is happening. Every role, every application and every response is in one place, prepared and kept up to date by your assistant.

Why a person

Done by people. Not by bots.

Auto-apply tools promise volume. A senior search needs judgment, so every step is done by your assistant.

Auto-apply tools

  • Large numbers of generic applications
  • The same resume sent to every employer
  • You still fix forms and chase updates
  • No one to talk to about your search

A YourNextRole assistant

  • Fewer roles, chosen against your brief
  • Every resume and cover letter tailored by a person
  • Forms completed and submitted for you
  • A named assistant and a weekly report

What your assistant does

Everything handled. Nothing invented.

Here is what your assistant does for you, what you give them and what you get back.

01

Your search brief

Your assistant gets to know your career, your goals and your non-negotiables, and writes them down as a brief you both work from.

You giveYour resume, LinkedIn profile and a strategy call
You getA written search brief and an accurate master profile

Control: You sign off the brief before the search starts.

02

Role research and shortlisting

Your assistant searches job boards, company career pages and recruiter listings so you do not have to.

You giveTarget titles, locations, working pattern, salary floor, exclusions
You getA shortlist of relevant roles, each with a reason it is there

Control: Flag any role that is wrong for you; the brief is updated.

03

Clear fit notes

Every shortlisted role comes with a short note: what the employer wants, where you clearly match and where you do not.

You giveThe job description and your profile
You get3 requirements met · 1 partly met · 1 not met

Control: You decide which roles go forward.

04

Tailored resumes and cover letters

Each application is tailored by a person who has read the role. Employers, dates, titles and qualifications are never changed.

You giveYour master resume and one shortlisted role
You getA tailored resume and cover letter, with every change highlighted

Control: Missing experience is noted as a gap, never invented.

05

Applications submitted for you

Your assistant completes the application forms and submits them, checking your exclusion list and history first.

You giveApproved application and your exclusion list
You getSubmitted, logged with date, version sent and employer

Control: Nothing goes to an employer you have excluded.

06

Weekly reports

A readable summary of what was done and what came back, with suggestions kept separate from the facts.

You giveA week of search activity
You getA report, a timeline and one suggested change for you

Control: Suggestions only take effect if you accept them.

What is included

  • Job research

    Your assistant finds relevant openings across job boards, company sites and recruiters, and shortlists the ones that fit your brief.

  • Resume and cover letter tailoring

    Tailored for every application from your real experience, with every change shown and every gap stated plainly.

  • Applications done for you

    Forms completed and applications submitted within your authorization, with a complete record of what was sent.

  • Weekly reporting

    A regular report and a named assistant who can explain what happened and why.

Client control

Your rules, written down.

The search runs on criteria you set explicitly. Change them whenever you like, and flag any match that is wrong so the criteria improve.

When a role has no salary listed

Many adverts do not include pay. Filtering can only use what is published, so instead of silently dropping these roles or pretending to know the figure, they are kept and clearly labelled “salary not listed” for you to decide. You can ask for them to be set aside instead.

Choosing an approach

Three ways to run a search. An honest comparison.

Each approach suits different people. Many professionals run an excellent search themselves; this comparison describes who does the work, not outcomes.

Doing it yourself

Who does the work
You do every step.
Your time
Highest. Searching, tailoring and tracking are all yours.
Human support
Whatever your network provides.
Applications
Written, tailored and submitted by you.
Visibility

Using job-search software

Who does the work
Software helps you do the steps faster.
Your time
Reduced, but you still operate the tool.
Human support
Usually product support rather than search support.
Applications
Templates you edit and submit yourself.
Visibility
Depends on the tool's tracker.

A done-for-you service

Who does the work
Your assistant does the steps, within limits you set.
Your time
Mainly reviewing, approving and interviewing.
Human support
A named assistant you can talk to about your search.
Applications
Tailored and submitted for you, with your approval or within your criteria.
Visibility
An activity record and a weekly report.

Is this right for you?

A good fit for some. Not for everyone.

We would rather tell you early if another approach would serve you better.

Likely to benefit

  • You are mid-career or senior and know broadly what you want next
  • Your time is the constraint, not your motivation
  • You want to stay in control of where you apply and what is said
  • You value discretion and a clear record of activity

Worth considering a different approach

  • You are exploring a complete career change and need coaching first
  • You prefer to write every application yourself
  • You are looking for a guaranteed outcome or placement
  • You are targeting a market we do not yet support

FAQ

Questions worth asking.

All questions
Who pays for the service?

You do. Reverse recruiting means the candidate is the client. We are not paid by employers to fill roles, so our job is to represent your interests in your search.

How much does it cost and how am I billed?

Pricing is tailored to each client. Choose up to 40 or up to 60 applications a week. On your free strategy call we discuss your seniority, target market and the support you need, then send a written quote. Quotes are in US dollars (USD). Billing is weekly, the minimum commitment is one week and there is no success fee. You pay nothing until you have agreed the quote.

Do you apply without my approval?

Only if you ask us to. At onboarding you choose: approve every application yourself, and your assistant waits for you, or let your assistant approve roles after a detailed ATS score and resume-fit score against each job and your agreed criteria. Either way nothing goes to an employer you have excluded, and you can switch at any time.

Who will work on my search?

A dedicated executive job search assistant who handles your search from start to finish and is your point of contact. You meet them at onboarding, and they stay with you for the whole search.

Could my resume end up overstating my experience?

No. Your assistant works only from your approved master profile. Employers, dates, titles and qualifications are never changed, missing experience is noted as a gap, and you see every change before an application is used.

Do you guarantee interviews or a job?

No. Hiring decisions are made by employers. We can make your search more focused, consistent and visible; we cannot promise an outcome, and you should be wary of anyone who does.
