Elite Search
Standard applications stop working at staff level. Elite Search builds your executive positioning over 6-10 weeks, prepares you for late-stage system design and leadership interviews, and negotiates multiple offers in parallel for top-of-band compensation.
Who it's for
- Senior developers with 8+ years of experience targeting staff or principal roles
- Staff developers who want to reach final-round negotiations at 120k+ positions
- Experienced developers looking to tap the hidden market for senior-level positions
- Candidates who need to pass late-stage rounds at tier-1 companies (FAANG, scale-ups, top Mittelstand)
What's included
Executive Positioning
Analyse career narrative, sharpen technical brand, develop positioning for staff/principal roles.
Executive CV & Personal Branding
Leadership-level CV, LinkedIn optimised for thought leadership, professional online presence.
Hidden Market Access
Unlock unadvertised positions through networks, direct outreach, and strategic visibility with decision-makers.
Advanced System Design Mock
Late-stage system design at staff level: architecture decisions, organisational trade-offs, scaling.
Leadership Behavioural Mock
Senior story, leadership narratives, and impact communication for VP and director interviews.
Multi-Offer Negotiation
Coordinate multiple offers in COMMIT, build leverage, optimise top-of-band compensation (salary, equity, signing bonus).
Outcome
- Executive CV and LinkedIn profile that position you for staff/principal roles
- Access to unadvertised positions at tier-1 companies
- Prepared late-stage interviews in system design and leadership
- Negotiated top-of-band offers with equity and bonus optimisation
Is Elite Search right for you?
Elite Search is a good fit if:
- You have 8+ years of experience and staff/principal ambitions
- You're targeting 120k+ or tier-1 companies
- You know your market works differently from standard application processes
- You need personal branding and executive positioning
A different program fits better if:
- You don't have an interview pipeline yet → Launch
- You want to reach senior but don't need 120k+ → Move Up
- You only need a system design mock → Mock System Design
