Senior IT Leaders Face a Different Kind of Search

You can’t search for executive-level roles the same way you searched as an individual contributor. The rules change as scope increases, expectations shift, and visibility matters more than effort.

⏺
No Time to Search

You’re managing teams, projects, and priorities. The problem is not motivation. It’s that a serious job search requires structure, consistency, and follow-through that is hard to sustain alone.

β—”
Outdated Tactics

What worked earlier in your career may not work now. At the senior level, applying online without a clear strategy often creates more activity than traction.

β—‰
Guessing What Works

Trying random approaches and hoping one sticks is expensive. Every week spent testing weak strategies is a week when better opportunities can quietly pass by.

β—Ž
Underselling Your Value

Many strong leaders are more qualified than their materials suggest. If your positioning is not aligned with the level you want, you can be overlooked long before anyone speaks with you.

There’s a Better Way.

Most senior-level searches break down because good candidates are left to manage a high-stakes process alone. You do not need more advice. You need a structured system and the right support behind it.

See How It Works
The Setup

Structured Execution, Not Just Advice

Most career services stop at guidance. They give you feedback, suggest changes, and send you back into the market to figure it out on your own.

This works differently. You get a structured process with real execution behind it, so your search moves forward with more clarity, better positioning, and less wasted effort.

You bring the leadership background. I help make sure the market sees it clearly and responds to it correctly.
You do not need to guess what matters. We focus on the right sequence, the right message, and the right actions.
You stay focused on high-value decisions. The process is designed to reduce friction, second-guessing, and backtracking.

6-Month Job Offer Guarantee

When you’re always improving, you can’t help but succeed.

More than any other type of leader, IT leaders understand that consistently performing Agile-based retrospectives weekly and making the necessary adjustments, you cannot do anything but gain velocity.

We use a highly structured job search process with clearly defined steps. We track your data, review which steps are getting the best results, then adjust the steps that don’t work while emphasizing the ones that do. Done weekly, how can you not get better results faster? Weaknesses are identified and corrected quickly, and strengths are leveraged regularly.

If, after actively participating in the process for 6 consecutive months, you have not received at least five interview opportunities aligned with your target roles (that you approved), we will continue searching for you at full speed (i.e. finding leads, making warm introductions, analyzing market trends to find hidden leads, applying to jobs for you, meeting with you weekly, preparing you for interviews) at no additional cost until you have received five interview opportunities or a job offer.

For the purposes of this guarantee, an interview means a formal conversation with a recruiter, hiring manager, or decision-maker about a specific role.

This guarantee is built around shared commitment. It applies when you stay engaged, respond in a timely way, and remain open to strategic adjustments based on what the market is telling us.

When you have a better process, you get better results, faster.

Who this is for

Senior IT leaders who want a more efficient, structured approach and process to find their next job. Whether you are a senior architect trying to break into leadership, or you are a senior director trying to move up to the C-suite, or if you’re already a C-level leader but want to find a better culture or an environment where you can make a bigger impact, we can help you get there.

What makes this different

Most services stop at advice. This combines recruiter-level strategy, execution support, and coaching so the search moves with more clarity and less wasted effort. Plus, it is exclusively designed for IT leaders.

What you need to do to qualify

Stay engaged. We will do as much for you as possible, but you must work with us. When we find job leads, you must approve them or provide feedback within 48 hours. You must meet with us (virtually via zoom or phone) at least twice per month, but preferably every week. You must allow us to help you prepare for your interviews with research and conversation. And you must remain flexible enough to adapt when the market gives us useful data to help you land the right job faster.

What this is not

This is not a mass-application service. It is a targeted, strategic search process designed for better opportunities, stronger positioning, and more meaningful traction. We will not be hurrying, rushing, flailing, or frantic to find your next role, we will purposeful and intentional in every step.

The Fine Print

Not meeting the commitments outlined in this guarantee will void the guarantee. Speed Up My Search reserves the right to void this guarantee if you prohibit our ability to deliver the expected results. This includes, but is not limited to, rejecting job opportunities that meet your pre-defined search parameters, not showing up to interviews, and not following our proven process that consistently gets results for our. If a job offer or the expected number of interviews is not secured during your 6-months of service, we will continue at no cost to run your search for an additional 6 service months or until the conditions of the guarantee are met.

A job offer is defined as an offer of employment from an employer to you, regardless of whether you accept it. An interview refers to a formal meeting with any individual involved in the hiring decision for a position or target company that you have approved, including but not limited to recruiters and hiring managers. Each interview counts towards the guarantee, irrespective of your attendance. Speed Up My Search maintains discretion regarding whether an interview qualifies for the guarantee.

Our Process

This is not a typical job search. This is a structured system designed to help IT leaders move with clarity, precision, and momentum from start to offer.

1
Define Your Personal Brand
We identify what actually sets you apart as a leader, the patterns in how you think, operate, and create impact that others at your level do not. This becomes your unfair advantage and the foundation for everything that follows.
2
Define Your Target Roles
We get specific about what you are pursuing. Titles, scope, compensation, and environment. This ensures your search is focused and aligned instead of reactive and scattered.
3
Align Your Resume, LinkedIn, and Messaging
Your materials are updated to reflect your positioning and target roles. This includes your resume, LinkedIn profile, and outreach messaging so the market sees you at the level you should be considered.
4
Execute the 7-Day Job Lead Pursuit Process
Every opportunity is pursued through a structured system. From qualification and research, to networking, applying, follow-ups, and direct outreach to hiring managers. This replaces guesswork with consistency and increases response rates significantly.
5
Advanced Interview Strategy
We prepare you to perform at a high level in interviews by anticipating questions, refining your responses, and helping you tailor your approach to each interviewer, including personality-based preparation using tools like DiSC.
6
Network Building and Leverage
We strengthen how you build, manage, and use your network so your search is supported by real relationships, not just applications.
7
Situational Coaching and Offer Strategy
You get real-time guidance throughout the process. Whether it’s following up, handling delays, responding to employers, or negotiating offers, we make sure each decision is handled strategically.
8
Onboarding and Positioning for Growth
Once you land the role, we shift to helping you succeed in it. This includes positioning yourself in the first 90 days to gain traction, increase visibility, and accelerate future opportunities.

Some leaders say they don’t have time to search for a new job. What they really don’t have is time to guess, backtrack, and test strategies while opportunities pass by. We help by replacing uncertainty with structure. Many of our clients haven’t put a resume together in 10+ years because they were always recruited!

IT leaders can’t search for new roles the same way they did as individual contributors.

  • Relationships matter more than resumes
  • Positioning matters more than volume
  • Targeting matters more than effort

The company hiring you wants to feel lucky to have found you. They want to announce, “Look who we got!” The “lucky break” that brought you together can be orchestrated intentionally. That’s why I built this system. It’s not just guidance, it’s structured execution and support.

Instead of doing everything yourself, you have support in:

  • identifying the right opportunities
  • positioning yourself effectively
  • executing applications and outreach
  • keeping your search focused and moving forward

You’re still involved, but you’re no longer carrying the load by yourself. Availability is limited, but there are still a few slots open right now!
