We Don't Do Free Sales Calls. We Do Strategy.

If you're looking into a reverse recruiting/job search service, this is what you need.

Most free consultations are really sales calls - and everyone knows it. We’d rather spend that time creating value by strategizing how to leverage your career capital to land you better opportunities and justify the compensation you deserve.

For $100, you’ll meet with an executive coach/advisor for a focused Career Capital Session dedicated to your positioning, market value, compensation, and smartest next move - not a sales pitch.

You’ll get our honest assessment, even if our recommendation is that you don’t need us.

If you continue with Ascend5, the $100 is credited in full.


Don't Just Find Your Next Job. Use It to Move Up.

Most job searches optimize for the next role. EXPEDITE® is designed to increase your level, compensation, and long-term trajectory.

Before we activate your market, we determine what your career capital is worth, where it can take you, and which next move best positions you for continued growth.

Because one level up can compound for years through higher salary, bonuses, equity, raises, and future offers.

Our largest recent client increase was $200,000 in combined base and bonus. Not typical — but an example of what can happen when someone's impact has outgrown their title or compensation.


Start With Your Career Capital Strategy

Before you hire us - or anyone else - you should know exactly what you're aiming for and why.

Your coach reviews your background before you meet. Together, we assess your experience, leadership scope, business impact, market positioning, compensation, and target level.

Why It Matters

Our EXPEDITE® clients have typically increased total compensation by $20K+ when moving into a new role.* And that increase can become the new baseline for future raises, bonuses, equity, and offers.

Your job search isn't just about what you earn next. It's about changing the trajectory of what you earn from here.

Individual results vary based on experience, market conditions, industry, geography, and role availability.

Built primarily for mid-level leaders and executives.
