"I don't know where I'd be without Placement. Actually, let me rephrase that: Without Placement and the Placement team, I would still be struggling to find a great job in a challenging job market."
"I've had my fair share of job search experiences and this is BY FAR the best one yet. I hadn't realized how much more I could improve my interview skills, CV, Linkedin etc. but Placement went above and beyond my expectations."
"I can't say enough good things about my experience with Placement. I have to admit I was skeptical upon discovering Placement but was routinely struck with how much each employee lives up the company's mission."
And these are just a few. Our team is absolutely obsessed with helping people land their dream jobs. 🤩

A career coach is an expert in your corner. Building your career is hard and there are so few voices out there who are truly on your side. When you hire a career coach, you are hiring a partner to help you break through obstacles and achieve your goals.
Your career coach is there to help you reflect, create plans, and hold you accountable for achieving your goals. They will also provide expert advice and feedback in areas you want to improve.
With your coach, you will go further than on your own.
Identifying which package is best for your career search depends on where you want to start and what you've accomplished so far. For early-career seekers and those making sizable career pivots, we recommend our most comprehensive Gold tier package, which will help guide you every step of the way. We recommend our most popular Silver package for more experienced professionals who wish to remain within their career vertical or are making minor pivots and horizontal moves. For passive job seekers who are simply exploring potential options, we recommend the Bronze package, which will get you up and running so that you can continue at your own pace.
No two sessions are exactly the same and will vary based on where you're at in your career journey. You are in full control of your sessions and the topics covered! Sessions are often situational, for example:
You aren't getting interviews and you're not sure why. What might the issue be?
You have a big interview coming up, how can you best prepare?
A company you were excited about didn't extend the offer. How do you stay motivated through hard times?
And many more. If you are not sure how to spend the time, your coach will work with you to figure out the highest priority topics to cover.
You will be asked a series of questions to assess your goals, where you feel you need help, and information about your job search. We will use that information to find three coaches who have expertise in working with people like you. Then, you will get to choose the coach that you think is the best fit for you.
Our goal is to get you talking to your coach as soon as possible! After paying for your coaching package, you will find time on your coach's schedule that works for you. Most clients have their first meeting within 3 days.
If you aren't able to find a time with your selected coach, no problem! We will happily help you find a different coach with availability that matches your own.
In the unlikely case that none of our coaches have availability that works for you, you can receive a full refund.
You can choose to keep your camera off if you prefer. You are in full control of the session and your coach wants to make sure you are comfortable.
With that said, many employers will expect you to have your video on during the interview process. If you want feedback on things like body language and eye contact, you will need to turn your camera on for that section.
You will be able to message your coach through the Placement platform. You can ask your coach quick questions through messaging instead of waiting for a 1:1 session. If you ask a question that is better suited for a 1:1 session, your coach will let you know.
In general, you can expect your coach to respond once per day. Coaches are in 1:1 sessions with their clients (like you!) throughout the day and have scheduled times to respond to messages. Many of our coaches schedule time in the morning to respond to messages.
No problem. You can upgrade your package within 14 days of purchase. When you upgrade within 14 days, you will be charged the difference in price between your new package and the previous package.
No problem. After you purchase a coaching package, you can buy additional 1:1 sessions at the following rate:
25 minute 1:1 session: $99
50 minute 1:1 session: $175
You can buy extra, individual sessions with your coach after you purchase a package. However, we don't offer the ability to purchase only one session without a package.
You can receive a full refund for your package up before your first scheduled meeting. If you are dissatisfied with your coaching experience after your sessions have begun, please email hello@placement.com and our customer care team will work with you to make it right.
We believe that a strong resume starts with you. Your career coach won't write your resume, but they will connect you with resources to create a compelling resume and provide expert feedback along the way. They can provide guidance on things like formatting, what to include, and how to draft strong bullet points about your experiences.
We won't make you change it but there's always room for improvement. Job search deliverables are very subjective and open to a wide variety of opinions. There is no "one size fits all" resume template because no two career paths are the same and every hiring manager is looking for something different. If you're at the point where your deliverables have proven to work in the market and you're getting interviews, we can dive right in with where you're at. Though, even if that's the case, it never hurts to have another set of eyes on it!
It's never too late to start! We have guides, articles, and expert advice on how to create and optimize your profile to get the most from your career search. You coach can help you get up to speed.
