What Find My Profession does

Find My Profession is a privately-held career services company founded in 2015 by Mike Podesto in Golden, Colorado, operating as the original reverse recruiting company where dedicated recruiters work on behalf of job seekers rather than employers. The company's core offering is a managed job search subscription service available in three tiers — Standard ($2,000 first month, then $1,499/month), Premier ($3,500 first month, then $3,000/month), and Elite ($4,500 first month, then $3,999/month) — covering resume writing, LinkedIn optimization, application management, networking outreach, interview preparation, and salary negotiation. Supporting the core reverse recruiting service are a resume writing portfolio across five career-level tiers (Entry-Level, Professional, Executive, C-Level, Federal), a la carte career coaching sessions, and a corporate outplacement service launched in 2023 for companies managing layoffs.

The company operates a custom client portal with real-time activity tracking and an ATS-optimized resume writing process, delivered entirely by a 100% U.S.-based team of 50+ certified professionals including 15 reverse recruiters, 2 managers, certified resume writers, and career coaches. Founded the Reverse Recruiting Council and created the proprietary Certified Professional Reverse Recruiter (CPRR) certification, establishing industry standards. The company has served 10,000+ job seekers across all 50 U.S. states and 25+ countries, with a claimed 98% placement success rate and 1,000+ five-star reviews across Trustpilot, Google, and Sitejabber.

The business model combines subscription revenue from ongoing reverse recruiting engagements, one-time fees for resume writing services, a la carte career coaching, B2B outplacement contracts, and an affiliate referral program managed through the Impact platform. Go-to-market relies on direct-to-consumer website sales with free consultation-based qualification, content marketing through an extensive career advice blog, SEO, earned media in major publications (Forbes, Inc., Fast Company, CNET, Bloomberg), and review-driven trust signals. Pricing carries a 10% military discount, a 6-month job offer guarantee on reverse recruiting packages, and a 60-day interview guarantee on resume writing services.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Korn Ferry: Global organizational consulting firm with a large executive search (recruitment) practice. Overlaps with FMP in serving executive hiring outcomes, but operates on the employer-pays side of the market and at a vastly larger scale.
• Robert Half: Major staffing and recruiting firm providing placement services across professional fields. Comparable in the broader employment services space; serves some of the same job seeker segments but primarily employer-funded.
• ExecuNet: Executive career services and networking organization serving senior leaders and executives. Comparable in target audience to FMP's executive tier, with a longer operating history but a more network/membership-oriented model.
• LinkedIn Premium: Subscription career services feature set within LinkedIn including profile insights, InMail credits, and applicant ranking. Substitutes for parts of FMP's value proposition (visibility, networking) at a much lower price point for self-serve users.
• The Ladders: Job board and career resource platform historically focused on $100K+ roles. Adjacent to FMP in serving the executive job-seeking segment, but its model is a job marketplace rather than managed search services.

Others

• Job-Hunt.org: Long-running career advice and job search resource site. Adjacent to FMP in the career content and job seeker guidance category; serves as a free content alternative rather than a direct service competitor.

Direct peers

• ResumeSpice: Resume writing and career services firm focused on executive and professional clients. Direct competitor in the same resume writing and career marketing space, with overlapping customer segments (directors, VPs, executives) and similar ATS-optimized offerings.
• SixFigureStart: Career coaching and resume services firm targeting six-figure earners and executives. Comparable to FMP's executive and C-level resume writing plus career coaching offerings, with similar premium positioning.
• TopResume: One of the largest resume writing services, offering tiered resume packages, career coaching, and cover letter services. Direct peer in the resume writing and career services category with similar positioning to FMP's resume writing line.

Emerging players

• The Muse: Career platform combining job listings, company profiles, and career coaching services. Emerging peer in the career services space with partial overlap on coaching and content, though broader in audience scope than FMP's executive focus.
