Top Talent Advocates

What Top Talent Advocates does

Top Talent Advocates (TTA) is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, that operates as a 'career agent' for executive-level leaders and attorneys. Founded in 2013 by Mosah Fernandez Goodman, the company delivers full-service career advocacy spanning career planning, professional resume and cover letter writing, LinkedIn optimization, interview preparation using a proprietary RSTAR framework, compensation analysis, and negotiation support. TTA positions itself against traditional career coaching by actively marketing and promoting its clients to recruiters and hiring managers rather than limiting engagement to advisory services.

The company's revenue model is professional services-based, with custom-priced packages sold through a sales-led, consultative motion to individual executive and legal professional clients nationwide. Secondary revenue streams include bespoke corporate outplacement engagements for organizations undergoing workforce transitions, executive branding and LinkedIn support as a standalone offering, and Business & Law Firm Consulting for organizational talent strategy. The firm operates a proprietary tool, Job Lasso, which provides structured career planning and accountability functionality, and runs the Hiring Insights Podcast and Newsletter as content-driven demand generation assets. Notable commercial relationships include a mutual referral partnership with Major, Lindsey & Africa and an informal nationwide network of recruiters and hiring managers that provides access to unpublished executive opportunities.

TTA is a bootstrapped, founder-led operation with 1-10 employees and no institutional funding. Its go-to-market relies on content marketing (podcast, newsletter, blog, LinkedIn) and referral channels rather than paid acquisition, and it does not utilize resellers or marketplace distribution. The company claims an 18% average increase in client total compensation post-engagement and reports having placed hundreds of clients at top-tier companies and law firms over its decade-plus operating history.
