Eighteen years on the hiring side of the table. More than a hundred leaders hired. Thousands of resumes read in the seconds each one actually gets.
I'm Michael. I have spent eighteen years running searches, reading the stack, and deciding who gets the interview, and still do the hiring today. The Career Desk exists because of a pattern I could not unsee: qualified people losing to formatting. Their story got lost to the screening software first, then to the human scan, and nobody ever told them why the phone stayed quiet.
The eighteen years were spent as a director and VP across Sales, Finance, Marketing and Operations, at companies with more than 12,000 people. I built the teams, so I did the hiring: over a hundred leaders, and the panels that chose between finalists.

The templates are built to pass the software and the six-second scan. The rewriting and interview prep are done to the standard of someone who has reviewed thousands of resumes and run the panels. And the promise printed on every listing holds everywhere: if you get stuck, message us and we answer within a day.
