Stop applying. Start talking to the people who can hire you.
I research the companies that fit you, find the people who can hire you (the founder, the hiring manager, your peers, the investors who funded them), write every message, and load your tracker. Every tier gets the same work. You choose how many companies.
Same work at every tier. More companies as you go up.
Every tier gets the same seven deliverables and the same done-for-you work on each company. The difference is how many companies, and how much time with me.
Already invested in Launch? Your $4,500 comes off any tier above it — dollar for dollar.
That makes Jumpstart $2,000, Momentum $4,000, and the Accelerator $6,000. Launch is the front door, not a detour — nothing you spend there is spent twice.

Why Work With a Former Recruiter?
For 25 years, I was the recruiter hiring managers called. I know what they look for beyond the JD, why 80% of roles never get posted, and how to negotiate $50k-$100k more. This isn't theory; it's the playbook I used on the hiring side of the table.
The ROI of Speed
A traditional search takes 6 months. That's $100k+ in lost opportunity cost. Our accelerator targets 90 days. Saving 3 months + a 15% salary increase = First Year Value of $80k-$96k.

As executive recruiter
"I worked with Bill on a LinkedIn profile review during an active job search, and the value was in how methodical and practical his approach was. He helped me move beyond a résumé-style profile to one that clearly articulated outcomes, scope, and measurable impact rather than just responsibilities."

Every tier gets the same seven deliverables and the same done-for-you work. The difference is how many companies, and how much time with Bill.
The Accelerator is different.
This is the only tier built for senior professionals running all three income tracks simultaneously — W-2, fractional consulting, and advisory board roles — with Bill as your dedicated partner for all ten sessions.
You're not just looking for a job. You're building a portfolio career. The Accelerator is designed for exactly that — aggressive, parallel execution across every income track at once.
Every dollar you've already spent on TalentGuy products credits toward any coaching tier. Dollar for dollar. No expiration.
Not ready for coaching yet?
Start with the toolkit. Every dollar credits toward working directly with Bill when you're ready.

Or the other door
Every tier above is you running the motion.
There is one where I run it instead.
The Concierge
$12,500Ninety days · four seatsFor ninety days I run the outreach myself — the research, the named people inside every company you approve, and the messages, sent under my own name. You show up for the conversations.
A recruiter's client is the company — they are paid by the employer, and the employer is who they answer to. Here, the client is you. No fee reaches me from any employer, no percentage of your salary, and nothing that pays out only if you take a job.
Ten minutes a day
Approve a batch, glance at your profile views, tell me when somebody replies. That is your whole side of it.
Five ways in
Every approved company worked to the same depth — everyone inside it worth approaching, fixed in writing.
Launch credits in full
Start at Launch and move here later and the $4,500 comes off the setup fee, dollar for dollar. Nothing is charged twice, and nothing about starting small closes this door.
What you actually get, on paper
Two real deliverables, with the client de-identified. Every company on your approved list gets both.
A job board read as an org chart, the target role concluded from it, and named people across all five tracks.
The homework on one buyer, the sequencing, the branches, and the messages with the reasoning behind every line.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it too late to make this pivot at 52?
No. Your 20-plus years of domain expertise is the asset, not the liability. The market doesn't need another generalist who learned the function last year — it needs someone who has actually run it and can now pair that judgment with AI fluency. At 52, age stops being a problem the moment you position it as earned authority instead of a number on a resume.
I have a strong network and good credentials — won't recruiters just find me?
Recruiters fill roles that already exist, and at your level those roles increasingly never get posted. Your network opens doors, but it can't position you, and 'great credentials' is exactly what every other displaced senior professional is saying right now. What separates you isn't another resume — it's visibility and a named point of view that makes the right people come to you before a job is ever on the table.
I'm scared to leave the security of my W-2 for fractional work. How do I make that leap?
That fear is rational, but be honest about what just happened: the 'security' of a W-2 is the thing your layoff took away in a single meeting. Fractional work spreads your income across several clients instead of betting everything on one employer who can cut you without warning. You don't jump blind — you build the positioning, the pipeline, and the first conversations before you ever need them, so the practice is already moving when you go.
