Cohort 5

Don't wake up wondering what to do every day. Know that you've got an engine of job search working for you. The problem:Tech hiring has changed dramatically. Mass layoffs, shrinking headcounts, and decreasing venture capital has changed the math. There are more candidates than ever competing for a small number of roles. The competition is intense. The solution:Since 2019, our strategies have helped tech professionals secure over $400,000,000 in job offers. These clear, actionable systems get people more interviews, help candidates pass those interviews with flying colors, and land people top-of-market offers, even in this rough market. 80% of our clients choose between multiple offers. Your instructor:Sherveen Mashayekhi, Founder &amp; CEO of Free Agency• Backed by Maveron, Resolute, Bloomberg Beta, &amp; more• Product leader and technologist with a decade in hiring tech• Advisor and coach to tech executives across NYC and SF Proven results:• Hundreds of placements every year in product, engineering, design, marketing, and more• $400M+ in total offers since 2019, with &gt;80% of clients picking between multiple offers• $15.35M raised from industry-leading investors, executives, and 30+ of our own clients Frustrated by low response rates? Learn how to triple replies and uncover opportunities before anyone else. No gimmicks and no referrals necessary. Struggling to tell your story? Master storytelling about your career at a fundamental level, preparing you for any question or context. Worried about the competition? Implement frameworks to do better research, understand employers, and intentionally stand out at every stage. Course content: Day 1: Lay the foundations (docs + systems)﻿• Templates for resumes, cover letters, cold emails, LinkedIn, + so much more• Systems and tools to use to make the job search painless and efficient• Behind-the-scenes of ATS, LinkedIn Recruiter, &amp; other employer systems Day 2: Flood your calendar with interviews﻿• Advanced job finding techniques, including Boolean &amp; semantic search﻿• Actionable steps to take after submitting an app to 3x your response rate﻿• Strategies and templates to get to know someone at any company (but for real) Day 3: Win over recruiters &amp; hiring managers﻿• Masterclass: Personal pitch and career storytelling (prev. client: "game-changing!")﻿• Repeatable methods for identifying and leveraging recruiter and HM incentives﻿• Win outside the room: templates and nuances for pre- and post-interview comms Day 4: Beat the competition in the interview cycle﻿• Advanced coaching to become stellar at panel rounds, exec chats, case studies, interview homework, etc.﻿• First-of-its-kind framework for interview debriefs + analysis, enabling in-cycle adjustments and "hero stories"﻿• Deep dives on behavioral questions, leadership, end-of-interview moments - be the unforgettable candidate Day 5: Negotiate like a pro and secure the role﻿• Framework: how to seal the deal - to be the #1 pick instead of #2 - and take discrete actions toward winning the job • Behind-the-scenes of compensation systems, databases, and formulas used by companies to calculate offers﻿• Systems and templates for understanding, evaluating, and negotiating an offer (incl. scripts) Plus...﻿• What's the deal with 'hidden jobs,' ATS keyword matching, referrals... get the truth!﻿• Methods of analogy and loop-storytelling, incl. ways to enhance recall + fit through thank you notes, emails, and phone calls • Analysis of all stakeholders and incentives inside an interview process • &amp; so much more Job search has fundamentally shifted. In 2021, a senior PM or an engineering VP was so scarce and hot in the market that it took just weeks for them to find a compelling job with a top-of-market salary. In 2024, a senior PM job receives hundreds of qualified applicants, and dozens who are specifically qualified within the particular sub-industry of the company in question. And so you&nbsp;need&nbsp;to stand out. You need to look different on LinkedIn and in an email inbox. You need to tell your story in a way that goes beyond the "academic right answer," and instead differentiates you from your next peer over. Because how else is a hiring panel supposed to decide to pick you instead of that next person? And where do former clients now work?Companies like Snapdocs, Airbnb, Mozilla, Spotify, Fastly, TikTok, theScore, Zoox, Zola, Cruise, HBO, Kajabi, Lyft, Meta, mParticle, GitHub, Roblox, Peloton, Verizon, Tesla, Notion, Asana, Drift, Instacraft, Reddit, Yelp, Google, American Express, Clover Health, Upwork, Sonder, Oura, Pepsi, Dropbox, SoFi, the NYT, Amazon, Square, Check, Addepar, Electronic Arts, Disney, MLB, Angi, Shortcut, Coinbase, Lob, Roku, Rho, Cash App, Zoom, Motion, Matterport, Twitch, Gong, Chargebee, Wonderschool, The Athletic, January, Newfront, DraftKings, Expedia, Zillow, Shopify, just to name a few.&nbsp;Seriously, this is just a quick few.
