Strategic Clarity
Strategic Approach
Understanding the market shift in executive hiring.
Why do I need positioning instead of just a better resume?
A resume is typically a list of historical duties. Positioning is a strategic narrative designed for a future outcome. Positioned to Hire helps you translate high-level impact into language that recruiters and hiring managers in the U.S. market understand immediately, ensuring you aren't filtered out before you can speak for yourself.
Who is your ideal client?
We specialize in supporting mid-career to executive professionals seeking roles in the $80K to $250K+ range. This includes people navigating layoffs, industry pivots, federal-to-private transitions, military-to-civilian moves, and professionals whose cross-functional backgrounds make them hard for recruiters to categorize.

How we build your career narrative.
What is included in LinkedIn Optimization?
It’s about being discoverable and authoritative. We optimize your profile for ATS-friendly keywords and recruiter search algorithms while crafting an 'About' section that reads like a strategic business value proposition rather than a bio. We focus on enhancing your visibility in a crowded, AI-assisted hiring market.
How do we start working together?
The best first step is a Career Positioning Audit or booking a Strategy Call. We don't believe in generic templates. Every engagement begins by identifying the core market problems you're facing—whether that’s a broad background that confuses recruiters or a job search that feels too reactive.
Reach & Continuity
Service availability across the U.S.
Do you only work with professionals in Arizona?
While based in Arizona, USA, Positioned to Hire is a standalone national service. We work remotely with experienced professionals across all 50 states, specializing in nationwide remote, hybrid, and federal job searches. Location doesn't limit our ability to clarify your value to recruiters.
What makes this different from a resume mill?
We are a specialist positioning studio. We don't use templates or produce high-volume filler content. Our founder, Kate Mayeski, leads a strategic partnership with each client to ensure the outcome isn't just a 'prettier' document, but a sharper tool for actual career ROI.
