Molly YllomProduct Designer + Brand Director · Client · Sep 2026

I came to Jonathan the way a lot of people probably do: frustrated. I'm a senior art director, and I'd sent dozens of applications for remote roles with US companies and gotten almost nothing back but silence, not even a reason.

Jonathan replied right away... He didn't send a canned answer; he asked what I actually needed, then gave me a personalized walkthrough, showing me exactly what a recruiter sees in my resume and what he'd change. In a few minutes, he turned something that felt like a black box into something I could actually act on.

What stayed with me just as much was his honesty. When something wasn't the right fit, he told me straight instead of keeping the door half open. That's rare, and it's why I trust his read.

If you're serious about understanding how you're really being seen, and how to fix it, work with Jonathan.

My job search before Jonathan: I did all the research. These resume experts can't tell me anything Google or my friends won't.

My job search after one call with Jonathan: I stand very corrected. There are so many things I need to fix up.

I thought I was doing everything right despite not having any luck getting noticed or interviewed. I justified it to myself as I'm just unlucky, it's the ATS's fault, the recruiter's not doing a good check of my resumes, etc. After speaking to Jonathan for just an hour, I came out of it with so many things I can improve. Some, I was doing well but could make even better with what taught me. Others, I didn't even realized I needed to do. Google and a few months of trial an error just can't beat the 20+ years experience Jonathan has with the recruitment in the market, its trends, and the tech industry.

I feel a lot more confident about future job searches and getting noticed by recruiters and definitely much more hopeful in this rough job market.

Alyssa HumlhanzProduct Design Leader · Client · Mar 2025

I had the privilege of working with Jonathan as my career coach during a pivotal moment in my career. After a surprise layoff, I found myself struggling with confidence and clarity about my next steps. From our very first conversation, Jonathan created a supportive space where I felt heard and understood. He helped me rebuild my confidence and, more importantly, identify my "North Star" — a clear vision of what I wanted in my career and why it mattered.

Jonathan's guidance went far beyond mindset. He provided practical, actionable advice that helped me sharpen my interview skills, refine my personal brand, and approach every opportunity with renewed purpose. Thanks to his support, I not only made it through the finish line of interviews but ultimately secured an exciting offer.

If you're looking for a motivating career coach who brings positive energy, insight, and real results, I can't recommend Jonathan highly enough. He helped me turn a challenging chapter into a transformative one.

Joseph BarrFull Stack Engineer · Client · Apr 2024

Jonathan took time out of his schedule to help me in my job search. His advice helped me nail my interview and land a job. He has a caring heart that I have rarely seen in my career.

Chanchal ToorClinical AI Evaluation & Healthcare Operations · Client · Apr 2025

Jonathan is a wonderful resource for job seekers in today's competitive landscape. His program aimed at tech professionals is thorough, interactive, and covers all bases from application to interviews. Jonathan brought his experience in tech and recruiting to the fore and his classes were designed around interviewing skills, mock interviews, and Q&A sessions. As part of Jonathan's clientele, all sessions were recorded and available for viewing later, which was immensely helpful as I was able to review discussions at a later time.

Jonathan helped me refine my interview pitch and his mock interviews were extremely helpful in overcoming my nerves. He also gave constructive feedback on my communication skills, all of which helped me immensely. I would recommend Jonathan in a heartbeat!

Nathan McKaskleSenior Platform Engineer · Client · Feb 2024

Jonathan does an incredible job of hacking the resume. He starts from what recruiters and hiring managers look for, how long they spend on a resume, and where they focus. He explains the new ATS systems and the formats they require. Then he helps break down each section into action items for improvement and helps you develop an entire resume strategy in order to score that interview and get your foot in the door. I can already feel my foot in there and I've only just begun. He's got a lot more services for people who need interview help, to get you past that place where you're stuck. Give him a try!

Armando Manjarres, EA, MSA, MBAEnrolled Agent · Client · Nov 2025

Jonathan is one of the sharpest and most insightful recruiters I've worked with. His feedback on my resume was precise, honest, and rooted in a real understanding of what top-tier firms look for. He didn't just point out gaps—he explained the "why" behind them and helped me see how to position my experience for senior-level opportunities. His blend of professionalism, industry knowledge, and genuine willingness to help sets him apart. Anyone looking for a recruiter who truly elevates your career approach would be lucky to work with him.

Renzo RicoData Scientist · Client · Apr 2026

Jonathan exceeded my expectations by putting me in touch with someone relevant to my situation and providing specific feedback that helped me with my job search.

He was super helpful, and his content is actually interesting from a job seeker's perspective! Definitely recommend him.

Joe AlvarezSRE Cloud Engineering Manager · Client · Feb 2024

I highly recommend Jonathan for anyone seeking an effective and understanding professional to work with. Having collaborated with him, I can confidently say that he not only "gets it" but also has a remarkable ability to connect through shared experiences and stories. Jonathan's extensive background of being "in the trenches" equips him with a unique perspective on both the positives and negatives that arise in various situations.

What sets Jonathan apart is his relatability and genuine understanding of where you're coming from. He takes the time to delve into your circumstances and his own, viewing them through both lenses to craft a customized strategy that truly works. Jonathan's follow-up and consistent check-ins demonstrate his commitment and genuine care, qualities that are increasingly rare to find.

Those whom I've referred to Jonathan have consistently expressed gratitude, highlighting the positive impact he has made on their professional journeys. Give him a chance, and you'll undoubtedly join the ranks of those thanking both him and me for the valuable connection and support he provides.

About

A coach who's been there.

I've spent 20 years in software, at startups and Fortune 500 companies. I've hired software engineers for over 15 years, and I've been the candidate who didn't get the call.

I know what recruiters and hiring managers scan for in the first 10 seconds, and what makes them stop reading.

So I didn't hand clients a template. I sat with each one, understood what they were going for, and rebuilt their story around it. Everything was done by me. Nothing went to a ghostwriter or an AI tool.

Did you write resumes for clients?

No. I showed clients exactly what to change and why. They made the edits.

That way they could explain every line on it in an interview.

Did you use ChatGPT or a ghostwriter?

No. I worked with every client myself, 1:1.

A lot of the resumes I saw were written with ChatGPT, and they weren't getting interviews. They read the same as everyone else's.

Did clients already have jobs?

Many of them did. They wanted a better role, more pay, or a better company. The same approach worked whether they were employed or not.

Thank you

It's been a privilege.

Thank you to everyone I've worked with. I'm proud of every interview and offer you landed. Good luck out there.
