The Approach

You don't need another resume tip. You need a strategy that respects who you already are.

AI can rewrite your resume. It cannot tell you that the reason you are not landing VP interviews is that you are still positioning yourself as a Director. That gap, between what AI optimizes and what actually moves you up a level, is where this work lives.

Most career advice was not written for the people who actually need it: senior professionals navigating real ceilings, real pivots, and real money on the table. The "be confident" speech, the bland LinkedIn post, the recruiter who says "just apply more." None of it accounts for what it actually takes to move from senior to executive in rooms most people only read about.

HelloHired is built on more than two decades in this work. Recruiting and workforce development at the Fortune 500 level, leading talent functions across high-growth tech, and coaching senior leaders through six-figure negotiations. We have watched brilliant professionals get talked out of what they're worth. HelloHired exists to fix that.

We work on the things that actually move the needle: positioning, narrative, the conversation behind the conversation, and the offer at the end of it. Direct. Grounded. No scripts that sound like someone else.

How HelloHired Began

Our founder spent more than two decades on the hiring side of the table. HelloHired is what she built with what she learned.

HelloHired started with a pattern our founder, Sabrena Alvin, saw over and over from the employer's side of the desk: the people across from her were rarely lacking talent. They were lacking strategy, and someone willing to tell them the truth about what they were up against. That work started on the side. Then it became intentional. Then it became a firm.

Most people don't need motivation. They need someone who's been on the other side of the table to tell them the truth.
Sabrena Alvin, Founder

That's the same shift we help our clients make. Not motivational. Not theoretical. Practical, grounded, and based on more than two decades of watching what actually works.

In Their Words

What clients say after the work is done.

“
Sabrena was a huge help in not only preparing me for several interviews, but also helping negotiate my salary. She has a wealth of knowledge around leveling up strategically in your career and is always willing to help. I would recommend Sabrena if you are looking to make your next move in your career.

“
When I was trying to break into tech, Sabrena and HelloHired helped me find my footing. Her support with my job search in 2021, along with the career guide and toolkit she shared, helped me strengthen my resume and LinkedIn profile and approach my job search with more confidence. There's advice in there I still use today. After four years at Microsoft, I'm now a Senior Product Designer focused on AI at GitLab, and I'm grateful for the people who helped me get here.

Sabrena played a critical role in preparing me for a rigorous hiring process. She is great at analyzing your skill set, and where it could fit at a large, fast-moving company. She guided me through the interview process with informative resources and 1:1 prep, and she continues to play a role in my career growth.

Common Questions

The things people ask before they book.

Is this only for people in active job searches?
No. About half our clients are gainfully employed and quietly preparing for the next move, six to twelve months out. The earlier we start, the more room you have when the right role appears.
I'm a senior leader already. Will this feel basic?
If you've ever had a coach hand you a generic worksheet, we understand the concern. The work we do at the senior and executive level is positioning and narrative work: how you're being read in rooms you're not in. It's not resume tips.
How is this different from a recruiter?
A recruiter works for the company. We work for you. We've sat in both seats: running senior searches inside the Fortune 500 and coaching candidates through them. So we know exactly what's said in the rooms you don't get to be in.
What if I'm not sure what I want next?
Start with the free Clarity Call. Most of our best engagements begin with someone who said "I don't know what I want, I just know it's not this." That's a starting point, not a problem.
How long until I see results?
Most Teardown clients have a revised resume and LinkedIn within 5 business days, and start seeing better recruiter response within 2 to 3 weeks. Search clients typically have an offer in hand within 8 to 14 weeks. That said, we're not selling a guaranteed timeline. We're selling the strategy and materials that close the gap. The market still moves at its own pace.
I've worked with a career coach before. It didn't help. Why would this be different?
Most career coaches have never sat on the other side of the table. Our work is grounded in more than two decades there. We know what hiring committees actually say after the interview, what makes a recruiter pass on a candidate in the first ten seconds, and what level of positioning gets you taken seriously for the role you're targeting. That's the difference. Not better motivation. Better information.
Is the 93% offer acceptance rate real?
Yes. It reflects senior searches our founder led while running talent functions at Fortune 500 and high-growth tech companies. Offer acceptance rate is one of the cleanest measures of how well a search is run, because it captures positioning, fit, and negotiation strategy in a single number.
Why work with you when ChatGPT can rewrite my resume for free?
It can. And it can polish your LinkedIn while it's at it. What it cannot do is draw on more than two decades across hiring committees to tell you that the reason you're not getting VP interviews is your resume is still written for a Director. That gap between what AI optimizes and what hiring managers actually decide on is the entire reason this work exists.
Do you work with clients outside the U.S. or outside corporate?
Yes. We've coached founders, consultants, professionals re-entering after a career break, and senior leaders making international moves. The strategy travels.
