100+ placed · Career coaching
Get the job you really want.
I'm Joseph Collins. I've placed more than 100 people into roles at companies like Nebius, Barclays and Ctrl Alt. Now I coach candidates one-on-one — CV, interviews, and the parts of hiring no one tells you about.
No pitch. No pressure. Just a real conversation about your next move.
A quick hello from Joseph

Ctrl AltYou're not underqualified. You're under-prepared.
Most people lose offers for reasons they never see — a CV that doesn't land in 8 seconds, a story that rambles, a salary number said too quickly. I've sat on the other side of that table for years. Here's what we fix together:
- Why your CV gets passed over — and exactly how to rewrite it
- How to answer the questions interviewers actually weigh
- What to say when they ask about money (without leaving any on the table)
- How to read the room and ask the questions that get you hired
Who I am
A recruiter who actually sat on the other side of the table.
Hi, my name is Joseph and for the last several years I've worked inside hiring teams at companies like Nebius, Barclays and Ctrl Alt — running searches, sitting in debriefs, and seeing exactly why offers get made or pulled.
After placing 100+ people into roles they actually wanted, I started coaching the candidates I couldn't hire myself. Same playbook, on your side of the table.
No fluff, no scripts. Just the honest read on where you stand and what to do next.
How I help
CV Review
Your CV gets eight seconds. We rebuild it so the person on the other side instantly sees what you've done and why it matters for the role you want.
Interview Preparation
We pressure-test the company, the role, and the questions you're most likely to face — so you walk in clear-headed with answers that sound like you on a good day.
Mock Interviews
A real run-through with honest feedback. We catch the small things that lose offers — the rambling answer, the missed signal — before the real interview does.

Common questions
- Is the first call really free?
- Yes. 20 minutes, no pitch. If we're not a fit, I'll tell you — and often point you somewhere better.
- What kind of roles do you coach for?
- Mostly tech and finance — AI, engineering, GTM, banking, blockchain. Senior IC and leadership roles are where I have the strongest network and instinct.
- How long does it take?
- Some people need one CV session. Others work with me across a whole search. We'll figure out the right shape on the call.
- What does it cost?
- CV review starts at $99. End-to-end support — CV, interview prep and salary negotiation through to landing the offer — is $749, half up front and half when you land the role. Guaranteed: if end-to-end doesn't land you a salary increase of more than $5,000, you get a full refund.
