I have had 2 sessions with coach Meredith Benedict, and she was fantastic!! Very specific with her advice that allowed me to update my resume and Linked in profile, and prepare for an interview. She was fast and specific, and very very helpful. Highly recommend her.

Placement's dashboard + coaching service has been a great resource during my career transition. Massive shout-out to Meredith Benedict. She's experienced, thoughtful, and has opened my eyes to how helpful a coach's support can be.

The team at Placement is a go to resource for me when it comes to career advancement and exploring new opportunities. Couldn't recommend them enough!

I'm writing this 5-star review for James Conti, my career coach and mentor, who assisted me in landing two job offers in machine learning after a slew of meaningful interview calls from the competitive Bay Area and market. Stuckness is something that happens all the time. For the first time, a situation arose in which I recognized the value of hiring a career coach. It took some time to overcome my fear of seeking help because it made me feel foolish that I had no reason to be concerned and that I would eventually figure it out on my own. James Conti has an uncanny ability to connect with his clients on a personal level before unleashing their full potential. Seeking a second opinion helped me rediscover my identity and reclaim my self-worth. James and I worked together on four occasions this year. Their organization and customer focus were excellent. He  even offered advice on how to write an effective resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter, follow up emails and build up profile. During the last 2.5 months, I got my dream job and went in the direction I wanted to go.  James is compassionate, dedicated to his work, and well-versed in his field. James is an excellent addition to any team. Working with him will teach you more about your personality and professional goals, as well as provide insight into potential problem-solving strategies. He'll open your eyes to new possibilities and shift your viewpoint. Thankful for James.

Placement is great! I worked with a coach on job search strategy, interview prep, and negotiations. The job search strategy session was helpful in deciding which roles and companies align with my values and career aspirations. My goal to level up in the next role became clear and I now go into interviews with a framework that squashes imposter syndrome. Will continue to use Placement as my career coach!

Not what I was expecting! My coach did not even take the time to review my resume prior to our meeting. Lack of preparation in a coaching session like this leads to disappointment. She tried to convince me she knew what she was talking about but it was evident she did not. I don't think I will use her again. I left feeling down and disappointed. Not the feeling I was expecting at the end of our session. I don't mind honesty but when it comes from a place of unpreparedness it feels devaluating.

I found the resources and coaching invaluable during my job search. Placement and my coach helped me see that interviewing is a skill I can train like any other. The support I received helped me land a job that I am thrilled about.

I signed up for Placement Pro because I was looking for outstanding professional help. I had recently experience a layoff from a boutique consulting firm and, as part of my severance, had received some assistance from another job transition company. This other company's coaching and support felt a bit too "boilerplate" to address my particular questions. I started working with Mark Gasche in June 2021 and learned a lot right at the outset. Mark listened to my questions and concerns closely, asked a number of clarifying follow-up questions, and provided honest, reflective feedback based on his experience and depth of expertise in career counseling. He encouraged me to look for opportunities in industry-specific management consulting, and helped me tighten up my answers to interview FAQs. When I began to consider how I would negotiate forthcoming offers, Mark responded very quickly to my Chat messages and walked me through a number of ways to respond to the job titles and compensation levels of the offers. Eventually I received two offers from highly respected consulting firms and, thanks to some careful negotiation, I was able to get an upgraded job title and an additional $40,000+ to my base salary. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome! I am so, so, so thankful to Mark and the broader Placement team for all their help in getting me to my next role.
