What our clients are saying
Nikki Davis
Product Manager
"Julian's thoughtful listening and feedback shifted the way I approached my job search. It was immensely helpful to see myself through the eyes of an experienced recruiter and even better to be gently challenged to pause and consider what my lack of enthusiasm was indicating about a particular path. If you want hard truths and compassionate insights delivered by a curious mind, look no further than Julian."
Phoebe Maio
Senior Product Manager
“Had a fantastic chat with one of the best recruiters - Julian, who not only shared great job market insights but also gave me incredible resume advice. He shed so much light on what I'm after and what the job scene is like nowadays. Everyone on the job search should get this kind of insight - it really makes you feel more prepared and clued in!”
Elliot Hay
Director of Product Management
I enjoyed working with Julian and couldn't be more impressed with his approach. He was warm, welcoming, and genuinely curious about my career aspirations. Through his guidance, I became confident about the types of roles that would be the best fit for me.
One of his most valuable insights was pointing out my strong interest in B2B SaaS, especially productivity tools. This was an actual aha moment for me and helped me narrow my job search.
Julian's positive energy and genuine passion for helping others shine through in every interaction. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for career guidance or coaching.
Nick Norena
Sr. Product Manager
“I met Julian through the Never Search Alone community where he gives an incredible amount of his time and knowledge helping job seekers find their true fit as candidates in the job market.
Before I received an offer, I spoke with Julian about my own candidacy, and he elegantly balanced making quick and impactful changes live (ex. We updated my resume format to better suit application tracking systems) with a conversation about how I showed up in my own life as a candidate. After I received an offer, Julian helped me navigate my options and prepare to get over the finish line and into a role that I was excited about.
Mehershad Dahmubed
Group Product Manager
“I had the pleasure and opportunity to connect with Julian through the NSA method where he offered his help to be part of the recruiter listening tour given his expertise. We were able to quickly connect and I could immediately tell that Julian is a listener and a connector. He expressed his passion for helping people connect with the right types of opportunities and helping build the right team culture. Julian also reviewed my resume and was able to give a couple key pointers by asking relevant questions to my career trajectory; changes that I have since incorporated into my resume. I would definitely recommend tapping Julian as you seek your next opportunity. He is the type of our recruiter you want to work with.
Lali Devaki
Head of Recruitment
Julian and I were connected when I was interviewing for a Head of Talent Acquisition role with a B2B SaaS startup that I was very excited about. This opportunity came to me while I was 38 weeks pregnant with my second child, and I hadn't interviewed for 4 years. I brought concerns to Julian about feeling like I don't belong, and insecurities if my recruitment skills would still be pertinent after having two children & running my own agency.
Julian gave me exactly what I needed out of the call - a space to talk through my feelings and enhancing my confidence. The energy Julian brings to recruiting conversations is authentic, refreshing, and frankly, exactly what I needed.
Brianna Kotlow, MSc.
Head of Consumer Technical Insights
Julian has navigated with me not only a career change, but strategic management negotiations and cross-industry executive networking as well. Julian brings with him strong and enthusiastic energy that got me excited about my challenges and encouraged my agency. He will go to the depths of what is holding you back in your context, transforming your long held psychological wounds into strengths..all the way to the surface level, providing the resume/pitch recommendations that land the plane.
Christina Guerrier
Program Director
I am thrilled with Julian's coaching service! I gained clarity on my market fit and got targeted advice to hone my skills for my aspirational role. Julian also offered tips on approaching negotiations to ensure my career development was prioritized—all within a 30-minute session! I highly recommend Julian as an effective and actionable career development coach!
