Anyone ever use Discover Podium (discoverpodium.com). It looks like a career advising service that helps with resume writing, they manage your search, etc. They dont seem to be headhunters or recruiters, only advisors. These places usually suck and are full of idiots, but you never know, so asking you all. I set up a call for next week, will followup to this post when I know more. CTO at a post series-A startup ~40 employees YOE: 18 TC: 300K
$1250 for resume and LinkedIn rewrite ($700 if you do only one). Im considering this option. $300 per hour for advisory service (less if if you buy bundle of hours). Will not do this, seems like a waste. I asked for references and they gave me testimonials and LinkedIn profiles they claim to have rewritten. They asked for me not to contact any of them unsolicited. I pushed them to give me a before and after example of real a resume rewrite of a similar position to mine, but they didnt supply any. Also pushed to talk to a real live person who used their services and said they couldnt do that. Im on the fence right now. $1250 for a full rewrite, and maybe ~$700 for a single rewrite is not a huge amount of money, but there are some red flags. If I end up going with them, I will do a followup post.
