Tired of applying
into silence?

No — and you should walk away from anyone who does. What we guarantee is the work — in plain language, with no guarantee fine print: verified applications to scored openings, assets that represent you properly, every follow-up drafted on time, and a portal scoreboard that shows exactly where things stand — stage, last updated, and next step — updated daily, with an update even when there's no change. Outcomes depend on the market and the interview room; effort and honesty are ours to control, so those are what we promise.

Never. We don't ask for, hold, or store client credentials. Applications are prepared and submitted with you in the loop, in your own accounts — the studio assists and operates, you stay the account holder. Anything public under your name requires your explicit approval first.

You get the portal; you don't run an agent. Every client gets a private search portal — one page with your live scoreboard, every application in flight with its stage, last updated date, and next step, and the drafts waiting on your approval. If a week brings no change, you still hear that, plainly, instead of silence. Notifications work the same way: action-needed items reach you right away, the rest arrive as a digest you control in your portal. Behind it, a human operator runs the system for you: the scanning, scoring, writing, and filing happen on our side, and your job is the part only you can do — reviewing and approving what goes out under your name. No software to learn, no agent to babysit, and nothing is ever sent without your yes.

Relevance, approval, and verifiability. The tools optimize for applications sent — often to irrelevant roles, with guessed answers and generic resumes. We optimize for applications you'd be proud to defend in an interview. Every opening is scored against your criteria and deal-breakers before your name goes on it, every answer traces back to your real record, your resume is tailored from that record, a human reviews the work, nothing sends without your yes, and when an employer passes we learn from it instead of sending you the same wrong fit again. It's slower per application and dramatically faster to an actual offer conversation.

Your plan covers roles up to the top of its salary band — the under-$75K plan covers roles paying up to $75K, the $110K–$160K plan covers roles up to $160K, and so on. Roles above your band still show in your portal's Open Jobs board, clearly marked, so you can see what's up there — and moving up a tier raises your cap and opens them. It's a fairness rule, not fine print: the fee stays proportional to the role you're actually targeting.

Recruiter outreach is included on every Managed Search tier, with a weekly message volume that grows with your plan: 10 messages a week on the under-$75K tier, 25 on $75K–$110K, 35 on $110K–$160K, 50 on $160K–$220K, 80 on $220K+, and unlimited on Executive handling. Recruiter outreach needs LinkedIn Premium on your account to work properly.

Professionals at every stage — early-career candidates landing a first serious role, mid-career professionals making a move, and senior leaders running a confidential search. If a job search matters enough to run properly, the tool fits: pricing scales with the salary you're targeting, from $99/mo for roles under $75K up to Executive handling at $749/mo — and Executive handling is limited to 15 seats at first, so that tier never gets crowded. The method travels across fields: criteria, scoring, honest applications, relentless follow-up.

Yes — if you're an active Next Role Studio job-seeker client. The Job Seeker Website add-on comes in six one-time packages aligned to your target salary: Launch Site $149 for targets under $75K, Career Site $249 for $75K–$110K, Professional Site $349 for $110K–$160K, Leadership Site $499 for $160K–$220K, Executive Site $649 for $220K+, and Executive handling $749 for the most senior or confidential searches. Higher packages add scope — expanded work samples, a separate Work / Projects page, case-study sections, a three-page personal-brand structure, and more — see the full package list under Pricing. On every package you own the site and the domain: the domain is registered in your own name with the first year included in your package price — no separate domain price or line item — and renewals after year one are yours. You never leave your portal for setup, domain registration, or updates: you provide everything here and we do the registration and build work in the background. After the site goes live, ongoing edits are yours unless you separately buy help — no ongoing support is included. This is a clients-only add-on, not a public website offer, and it isn't the $949 business website Build.

Because the human layer is the product. Every application wave is reviewed, every recruiter draft is written for one specific person, and every scoreboard is real. Five clients per operator is what keeps that true. Sign up and you'll hear back personally; when we're at capacity, new clients join a waitlist rather than diluting the work.

Any time, in your portal — no billing traps, no exit interviews, no retention scripts, and no surprise charge to discover later. Cancellation is effective at the end of your current month, stated plainly before you ever pay. The honest goal of the subscription is to be cancelled because you got placed.

A one-time package — $199 — that builds the groundwork of a search without a subscription: a criteria intake (with a career-pivot map if you're changing fields: your transferable skills mapped to the new field, and the gaps to close), a resume ATS review and structural rebuild, and a full LinkedIn review with copy-ready suggested wording. The full $199 is credited toward Managed Search if you join within 30 days of completion. Search Starter does not include applications or outreach — it's the foundations, done properly, and it's open to anyone, not just clients.

Included — on every Managed Search tier, at no extra charge. When an offer lands, you send it to us through your portal and get a structured written review: what looks strong, where there's room, and a suggested counter with talking points. Executive handling gets Negotiation Plus: everything in the standard review plus a total-compensation analysis, multi-round counter-draft support as the negotiation moves, priority handling, and a 30-minute strategy call on request.

Hopefully, you cancel — that's the point. If you'd like us to keep an eye on things, Stay Ready is $19 a month for clients whose search has ended: a monthly freshness note on your resume and LinkedIn, and a digest of great-fit roles we spot for you. It's a watch, not a search — no applications and no outreach run under it. Stay Ready members also keep their referral link working: each confirmed signup earns a free month of Stay Ready, up to six free months a year.
