ABOUT THE JOB HACKERS NETWORK
I spent more than 20 years on the other side of the hiring table.
I hired and coached leaders, advised the people making hiring decisions, and saw firsthand how opportunities take shape long before a job description is posted.
Then I left corporate HR to help engineering leaders navigate that process for themselves.

Why I left a Fortune 500 HR career to build the Job Hackers Network. Two minutes.
OUR STORY
Â
I learned that the best career opportunities do not always begin with an open position
I spent more than 20 years in Fortune 500 HR leadership, including leading a global career development program at ADP that reached more than 60,000 associates.
Throughout my career, I worked with leaders on both sides of the hiring process. I saw how hiring decisions were made, how candidates were evaluated, and how relationships influenced which opportunities people could access.
But some of the most important lessons came from my own career.
At three different companies, I stepped into roles that didn't have a title before I arrived. There wasn't a job posting waiting for me. The was a business problem, a leader responsible for solving it, and an opportunity to demonstrate how I could help.
Those experiences changed how I thought about career development.
You don't always have to wait for the right position to open. Sometimes the opportunity begins with a conversation.
That belief also shaped my work at ADP.
IÂ created a program there called Inside First, designed to help employees whose positions were being eliminated find new opportunities within the company through strategic networking.
The program helped 85% of participating employees secure new internal roles within 30 days.
It demonstrated something I had seen throughout my career: when people understand their value and know how to connect it to an organization's needs, they can uncover opportunities that a conventional job search misses.
Eventually, I made the decision to leave corporate HR and bring what I had learned directly to the people navigating the market.
That's why I founded Job Hackers Network.
To give engineering and technical sales leaders the insight, relationships, and repeatable process to pursue opportunities that match their leadership value, not simply the positions available on a job board.
OUR APPROACH
Built from experience on the hiring side
The Job Hackers Method™ is grounded in more than 20 years of corporate HR leadership, hiring, and leadership development.
I understand how hiring leaders evaluate candidates, how business needs influence the roles organizations create, and why the right relationships can change which opportunities become available.
That perspective shapes everything I teach.
Your leadership value comes before your job search
Before reaching out to hiring leaders, you need to understand what makes you valuable to the organizations you want to join.
We use a structured assessment, evidence from your leadership experience, and a clear understanding of your target role to develop a value proposition you can communicate with confidence.
Your resume, LinkedIn profile, networking outreach, and interview answers all build from that foundation.
The goal isn't to make your experience sound more impressive, It's to make your leadership value easier for the right people to recognize.
AÂ repeatable process, supported by people who understand it
Knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it consistently.
The Job Hackers Method™ gives you a structured process, coaching, accountability, and AI tools to put the strategy into practice.
But there's another part of the experience that matters just as much: you don't have to navigate your next career move alone.
Your next opportunity starts with a different approach
At the Director and VP level, exploring your next opportunity can be surprisingly isolating.
You may not be ready to tell your boss. You may not want your team to know. And the colleagues you would normally turn to for advice may be part of the very organization you're considering leaving.
That leaves you making important career decisions without the befit of people who understand what you're navigating.
Job Hackers Network changes that.
Every week, you're surrounded by engineering leaders working through similar decisions.
You can practice your interviewing skills with peers who have made hiring decisions themselves. Test your leadership story before presenting it to a prospective employer. Learn from someone negotiating an offer, or help another member work through a challenge you've already faced.
You gain perspective from people who understand the responsibilities, expectations, and tradeoffs of leadership at your level.
And you become part of a professional network that continues to be relevant beyond your next job.
"Historically job searching is a journey you take by yourself. In this program it was a journey I took with a bunch of other engineering leaders. I got to see the challenges they see, and that framing helped me immensely."
—Chris Eide, Director of Engineering Ops at Nucleus Security
