About Joel
I'm Joel — a recruiter, marketer, and career strategist with a calm, focused approach to helping people get hired. Over the past few years, I’ve filled 300+ compliance, risk, and operations roles across financial services. Along the way, I built a LinkedIn community of over 30,000 professionals by showing up with honesty, clarity, and real tools that work. I’m also the creator of The People’s Recruiter — a brand focused on making the job search more human and more effective, especially for people who feel overlooked or overwhelmed. Right now, I’m focused on showing job seekers how to use tools like ChatGPT and Claude to take control of their search. Whether you're struggling with resumes, tailoring applications, or prepping for interviews, I can help you build a system that saves time, sharpens your message, and gets you seen. If you're ready to stop sending résumés into the void and start standing out — I’ve got you.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I’ve seen too many talented people get ignored, overlooked, or discouraged — not because they weren’t good enough, but because they didn’t know how to play the game. I’ve been on the inside as a recruiter. I’ve seen what gets attention and what gets passed over. And I know that most job seekers are doing 80% of the work… just in the wrong direction. Coaching lets me close that gap. It lets me hand people the map I wish more folks had access to — especially those who don’t have insider connections or career privilege. And now with tools like ChatGPT and Claude, there’s no reason you should be out here applying blindly. I coach to give people a system, a voice, and a real shot at the roles they want. If I can make your job search feel smarter, faster, and more human — I’ve done my job.

My career has always been about connecting the right message with the right audience—and turning those connections into ticket sales." At The Attic Comedy Club, I’m the strategic mind behind transforming our weekly shows into sold-out events. By blending creativity, analytics, and a deep understanding of audience behavior, I’ve built a system that delivers measurable results—conversions that fill seats and drive revenue. How I Drive Results: Optimized Email Campaigns: Audience-focused emails that don’t just get opened—they sell tickets. Social Media That Converts: Managing YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Google with data-driven strategies that maximize reach and engagement. Example: Systematic testing cut ad costs by over 50% (from $0.30 CPC to $0.13) while boosting conversions to ticket sales. Google Business & SEO: Optimized content and targeted strategies increased organic search visibility by 71.7%, funneling audiences straight to ticket purchases. Content Production for Sales: From scroll-stopping graphics to engaging videos, I craft content that doesn’t just entertain—it converts. Show Production & Collaboration: I ensure our digital strategy aligns perfectly with The Attic’s brand of gritty, unforgettable comedy, creating buzz that translates directly into sold-out shows. What Makes It Work? A testing-first mindset: Establish baseline metrics. Optimize. Measure. Convert. Repeat.
