Whether you are a job seeker, a people leader, a recruiter, an executive coach or simply interested in talent, there is something here for you within the Hiring Insights Newsletter and on our podcast, launching later this month!
Who We Are
The thrill of chasing and securing a new job started for me while in law school. I vividly remember walking to the post office on a blustery winter day with a stack of 612 summer job applications I had drafted during a self-imposed break from classes. That’s right, 612 resumes and unique cover letters during my first semester in law school! As I picked up a few of the applications that had fallen victim to a gush of wind outside of the post office, I remember thinking that this is an intense approach to pursuing a summer job, but hopefully one that would give me an edge to the start of my career. It was that experience that sparked my interest in and passion for the job search process, and which ultimately led to my starting Top Talent Advocates.
During my various roles following graduate school, I heard countless stories from friends and colleagues about the difficulties they experienced in finding their next job or leadership role. Numerous people would tell me about their desire to find new and better positions, but struggled with the process of how to conduct a thorough and efficient search for their next role. I found myself helping to informally connect people to grow their networks, uncover job opportunities, and strategize about their compensation negotiations. My experience helping with these job searches, combined with my own job search experience, helped me identify an unmet need... the need for executives and attorneys to have an advocate during their job search. And thus, Top Talent Advocates was born.
As Top Talent Advocates has grown over the years, my work with executives and attorneys has allowed me to meet and learn from numerous leaders about the executive hiring process. Many of those insights and experiences will be shared through this newsletter and through the observations of my guests on the Hiring Insights Podcast (launching this month!). I love helping executives and attorneys secure new and better professional opportunities that enhance their job satisfaction and compensation. On average, our clients see an 18% increase in their total compensation because prior to our services, they didn't maximize their worth.
