Placement Playbook

The playbooks behind the coaching

Nine original guides written by people who recently ran these recruiting cycles, not recycled internet advice. Each one is the system for one part of getting the offer, written down so the 1-on-1 coaching is spent applying it to you, not explaining the basics.

The whole library, filtered to your track

One playbook per part of recruiting. Filter to your track, then flip any cover to see the framework, what you will walk away able to do, and how to unlock it.
