Stephen Telford — Business Development Manager
✨ Finding jobs for people ↔️ not people for jobs. Let’s get YOU hired the smart way. Hi, I’m Stephen, a career coach, job search strategist, and reverse recruiter. I help high-achieving professionals land high-paying, fulfilling roles without: ❌ Applying to hundreds of job ads ❌ Starting over in their careers ❌ Waiting for someone in their (nonexistent) network to give them a break 👀 You’re likely here because… ▪️ You’re stuck in a job search that’s going nowhere ▪️ Your CV gets ignored or gets you the wrong interviews ▪️ You feel invisible, unhirable, or just completely burned out ▪️ You’re in a role you’ve outgrown, but don’t know how to move forward Here’s the truth: You’re not unhirable, you’re just unseen by the right people. That’s where I come in. 🛠️ Who I Work With ✅ Professionals with experience, but no real network ✅ People who are done settling and ready to aim higher ✅ Talented candidates who just need the right strategy ✅ Those who want to stop applying blindly and start getting results 📉 My Story (Yes, I’ve Been There) No network Big dreams No big following I applied for anything and everything. I got ghosted. Rejected. I cried. I settled. Until I finally learned how to position myself as the star candidate. And everything changed. I began getting 6-figure offers I hadn’t even applied for. 💼 My Clients have landed roles at 🔹 Google 🔹 Amazon 🔹 PayPal 🔹 Disney 🔹 J.P. Morgan 🔹 London Stock Exchange 🔹 Nike …and many more. 🚪 The 3 Real Ways to Get Hired by Top Companies 1️⃣ Build a magnetic personal brand so opportunities come to you. 2️⃣ Leverage a warm, trusted network to open doors. 3️⃣ Borrow someone else’s network and influence (← that’s me!) If you’ve already nailed 1 and 2 amazing, you probably don’t need me. But if #3 is what’s missing… That’s where we might be a perfect fit. 👋 How I Can Help You As your reverse recruiter + job search strategist, I act as: ✅ Your personal connector ✅ Your positioning expert ✅ Your biggest advocate Together, we’ll get you in front of the right people with the right message so you finally get the offers you deserve. 📩 Ready to stop guessing and start landing? Send me a DM and I’ll reply within 24 hours. Let’s get you hired the smart way.
