Frequently asked questions

Jobzango is a done-for-you job search service. Jobzango's team handles applications, recruiter outreach, LinkedIn optimization, resume rewriting, interview prep, and salary negotiation so clients only need to show up to interviews. Learn more about us.

Jobzango works with experienced professionals, typically in $100K+ roles, who want their job search managed by a dedicated team instead of doing it themselves. Jobzango is best suited for tech, product, engineering, data, marketing, finance, operations, and senior individual contributor or manager roles.

Jobzango serves professionals across the United States and supports remote, hybrid, and in-office job searches nationwide, including all major metros and secondary markets.

No. Jobzango is not a recruiter or staffing agency. Jobzango works exclusively for the candidate, running the search on their behalf across companies the candidate is targeting rather than placing candidates into a fixed roster of client openings.

A resume writer hands over a document and a coach gives advice, but the client still has to run the search. Jobzango combines the resume, LinkedIn, applications, outreach, interview prep, and negotiation into one managed service so the actual work of the search is done for the client.

Jobzango supports tech, product, engineering, data, design, marketing, sales, finance, operations, HR, healthcare administration, and senior general-management roles. Jobzango does not currently support licensed clinical, legal-bar, or hourly retail roles.

Jobzango's managed job search includes resume rewriting, LinkedIn profile optimization, a personalized target company list, high-volume tailored applications, direct recruiter and hiring manager outreach, interview prep, and salary negotiation support through offer acceptance.

Yes. Jobzango submits tailored applications on the client's behalf to roles that match their target criteria, so the client does not have to spend hours each day searching and applying.

Volume depends on the client's target criteria and market, but most Jobzango clients see dozens of tailored applications submitted each week, prioritized by fit rather than by raw quantity.

Every application Jobzango submits is tailored to the specific role and company, including custom answers to screening questions and, when appropriate, a role-specific resume variant and cover letter.

Yes. Jobzango rewrites the resume and LinkedIn profile as part of onboarding, then submits revisions for client review. Clients can request updates and Jobzango maintains multiple resume versions inside the client dashboard. Our resume and LinkedIn audits are backed by over 2,000,000 applications worth of data.

Yes. All Jobzango resumes are built to pass modern applicant tracking systems, using clean formatting, standard section headings, and keyword alignment against the target role's job description.

Yes. When a role requires or benefits from a cover letter, Jobzango writes a tailored one that references the specific company, role, and client's most relevant wins.

Yes. Jobzango runs personalized outreach to recruiters, hiring managers, and second-degree connections at the client's target companies to open doors that job boards typically cannot. Jobzango's outreach team was a top outreach team for career companies across the US.

Jobzango supports Director, VP, and senior IC searches. True C-suite searches (CEO, CFO, CTO) are handled case by case, since those roles typically move through a very different, relationship-driven channel that Jobzango will honestly advise on during the discovery call.

Yes. Jobzango regularly helps clients pivot into adjacent industries or functions by re-positioning past experience, targeting the right entry points, and building a narrative that hiring managers can say yes to.

Most Jobzango clients are hired within 90 days. Some accept offers in the first few weeks, while more selective searches can run longer. The average traditional self-run search takes 6 to 9 months, so Jobzango's timeline is designed to be dramatically faster.

Jobzango is designed so the client only needs to show up to interviews and quick weekly check-ins. The heavy lifting of searching, applying, and outreach is handled by Jobzango's team.

Jobzango typically kicks off within a few business days of signup. Onboarding, target list build, and resume and LinkedIn revisions happen in the first week so applications can start immediately after.

Yes. Most Jobzango clients are still employed and searching confidentially. Jobzango never signals a client's current employer, keeps LinkedIn changes discreet, and coordinates interviews around the client's work schedule.

Jobzango builds a target list with the client during onboarding covering role level, function, industry, comp band, and location. Applications are then filtered against that criteria daily so time only goes to roles the client would actually accept.

No. Jobzango charges a flat program fee. Jobzango rarely takes a percentage of the client's signing bonus, equity, or annual salary — every dollar Jobzango negotiates goes to the client.

Nothing changes on price. If a client lands and accepts an offer in the first week or the last week, the program fee is the same, and Jobzango stays available for negotiation and onboarding support at the new role, and will continue the search if the candidate would like to stack offers.

Jobzango clients regularly land offers at top companies including Spotify, DoorDash, Stripe, Jitterbit, and many more, often with meaningful salary increases over their previous role and multiple competing offers.

Yes. Jobzango treats every client's information as confidential and only uses it to run the client's job search. Jobzango does not sell client data or share it with third parties outside of what is required to submit applications.
