I hear it from both sides.
Highly qualified people are not getting through. Hiring teams say they cannot find good people. I work both sides of that gap. I translate your experience into something the right people actually hear, and I work with the hiring side to make their language clearer too. Finding a job is full-time. The system is broken. We control what we control.
48-hour first-draft turnaround. • 90-day open door for support. • 50 to 100 inquiries through LinkedIn every week. • 15 years translating experience into hires. • One recent client: 1,200% increase in LinkedIn profile views.
"Using Kate's feedback I cut away what wasn't working and honed my skills. Profile views jumped nearly 1,200%. I have a few promising prospects already in the works."

"What I got was far more than marketing support — I got a strategic partner. She thought like an operator. Brains, hustle, integrity."
George N., Noble Capital Advisors.
"Kate laid out a clear plan and supported me every step of the way. She isn't just a coach — she's a trusted partner and an invaluable resource."

You are not broken. Your signal is broken.
High-level expertise often gets lost in translation. We help leaders align their narrative across LinkedIn and interviews to fix the friction. (Corporate support also available).

Who This Is Not For
Positioned to Hire is a specialist studio for high-intent professionals. Our positioning methodology requires executive-level commitment and a strategic investment in your professional value story. We favor intentional depth over high-volume transactional tactics. Consequently, our work is not tailored for:
✕ Professionals seeking high-volume help
✕ Quick formatting or surface-level cleanup
✕ Non-strategic seekers or general career exploration
✕ Low-intent shoppers focused solely on investment
✕ Individuals requiring mass AI output projects

Common questions about our strategic partnership
Is this just executive resume writing?
A resume writer documents the past; a positioning strategist engineers the future. We build a clear value story that justifies your target compensation in the $150K–$250K+ range.
Who is your ideal partner?
We partner with high-intent U.S. professionals, from mid-career to executive levels, who are navigating market pivots or pursuing senior roles.
Do you help with industry pivots or federal-to-private searches?
Absolutely. Translating non-linear backgrounds into a clear value story is our specialty.
What is the Career Positioning Audit?
The Audit is a practical diagnosis of your professional narrative. We identify where recruiter friction occurs and provide a clear roadmap for your resume, LinkedIn, and interview story.
What is the investment for your services?
Most engagements range from $750 for a Career Positioning Audit to $3,500+ for full transformation. The scope depends on your career level and how much narrative rebuilding is required across your resume, LinkedIn, and interview story. We always recommend the smallest scope that actually builds hiring clarity. If an audit is enough, we will say so. If your career story needs a deeper rebuild, we will explain the strategy before moving forward.
Are your services available nationally?
Yes. While our strategy studio is based in Arizona, we serve professionals nationally. Our sessions are optimized for remote delivery, helping leaders across the U.S. achieve hiring clarity in complex markets.
How do we decide the right scope?
We start by identifying what is actually blocking traction. If a focused audit is enough, I will recommend that. If the issue requires a deeper resume, LinkedIn, or interview story rebuild, I will explain the strategy before you commit.
