I had a strong profile but no idea where to start. Shawn gave me a clear, step-by-step strategy that made the process much less overwhelming. He’s an excellent teacher who knows how to break down complex parts of the application into actionable steps.

From my resume to my interview prep, Shawn's feedback was always spot-on. He knew exactly how to bring out the strengths in my background and helped me present myself authentically and strategically.

Shawn is a great coach! While recruiting for consulting sophomore and junior year, he cased with me consistently, and within weeks, I saw a marked improvement in both my confidence and structured problem solving skills. It goes without saying that he is great mentor and individual to work with.

Temi played a crucial role in my MBA application journey. She provided valuable support in every aspect, from crafting my story to refining my essays and highlighting my impactful experiences. I was continually amazed at how she could transform a simple narrative into a compelling and engaging story, and how she guided me to approach the interview with that storytelling method. Whether early in the morning or late at night, Temi was my go-to person whenever I felt overwhelmed, needed an extra set of eyes on my essays, or for interview preparation. She always responded to my calls, no matter the time. I can't imagine how I would have navigated this process without her support. Thanks to her guidance, I received offers from multiple programs.

This past October, I asked Emily to help edit some of my supplemental essays for my application to Brown University. Instantly, she provided me with crucial guidance, left edits on my essays, suggested more succinct ways to express myself, and taught me about what Brown looks for in a student. We exchanged emails back and forth and worked intensely on the application, and I believe it was her guidance which allowed me to be not only satisfied with my work, but optimistic about my applications. I’ve since been accepted to five Ivy-League Universities and am certain that it was Emily’s mentorship which created a framework for my applications, even beyond Brown. Emily showed me a way of looking at my writing so that even if the reader – such as an admissions officer – doesn’t know me at all, my points will still be clear. I believe Emily would be a wonderful coach for MBA applicants because she is a brilliant mentor, is eager and consistent to help others, and has specific and integral experience with the application process.

Ellin is amazing at her craft! Her strategy for helping clients gain admission into top MBA programs is unmatched and honestly should be studied, her success rate speaks for itself. She takes the time to understand each client’s unique story and helps craft compelling applications that stand out. She has personally helped me, my siblings, and several friends navigate the competitive admissions process, all with outstanding results, including scholarship offers. Her insight, encouragement, and professionalism make a stressful process feel achievable. I will continue to refer Ellin to anyone serious about getting into business school and securing funding. She’s truly the best in the game.

I’ve had the privilege of going through the recruiting process with Dalton not once, but twice—first at Jolt, and later at Pluralsight, both times for Senior Product Manager roles. From the very first conversation, it was clear that Dalton wasn’t just filling a role, he was genuinely invested in making sure it was the right fit for both sides. It felt like having an advocate on the inside, someone who was rooting for me to succeed and helping me navigate the process with transparency and encouragement. What set Dalton apart from other recruiters I’ve worked with in the past was his consistent follow-through and his human approach. He took the time to understand what I was looking for in a role and a company, and didn’t just push me through a funnel. Even after I was hired, Dalton checked in to make sure the experience matched the expectations we’d talked about. Since then, we’ve kept in touch—whether it’s helping each other with referrals or just staying connected professionally, Dalton has continued to show up as someone who cares about people, not just positions. If you’re looking for someone to coach you on how to break into recruiting or to sharpen your hiring skills, you’d be lucky to learn from someone as thoughtful, experienced, and people-centered as Dalton.

I had the opportunity to work with Jacob on a complex environmental impact assessment project, and his expertise was invaluable. He broke down intricate regulatory requirements into clear, actionable steps and provided insightful feedback on my analysis. Jacob’s patient, collaborative coaching style and deep subject-matter knowledge not only boosted my confidence but also helped me deliver more rigorous, polished work. I highly recommend him as a coach for anyone seeking to excel in environmental sciences or project management.

I highly recommend him as a coach for anyone looking to excel in environmental sciences or analytics.

Janet has been an amazing source of support throughout my business school application journey. She truly understands the challenges of the process and has been there for me whenever I felt overwhelmed or stuck. Her encouragement and guidance have made a significant difference.
