Everything the studio does for a search — the process, the work itself, the analytics, the first week
on the record, and the full pricing — on one page. You approve anything public; nothing sends without your yes.
A serious job search — at any level — is a program of work: criteria, assets, a pipeline,
and a scoreboard. Here's the operating rhythm every client gets.
Step 1
Intake & criteria
One working session sets the target: roles, industries, salary floor, location, and your hard deal-breakers. Your standing answers — work authorization, travel, start date, compensation — are captured once, truthfully, and reused everywhere.
Step 2
Rebuild the assets
Your resume is enhanced around measurable results, and LinkedIn is relaunched — headline, About, skills, Featured — so recruiters meet the current you, not the job you just left.
Step 3
Scored search & apply
Every few days we scan LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Facebook Jobs, and the open web. Each opening is scored for fit; strong matches get tailored applications and a cover letter wherever the posting offers one.
Step 4
Run the pipeline
Application mail gets filed and triaged, recruiter follow-ups are drafted for your approval, interview prep briefs land before every call — and it all lands in your private search portal: your live scoreboard, every application in flight, and the drafts waiting on your yes or no.

How setting up your account works
When enrolment opens, signing up looks and feels like the portal screens in our videos — the same dark, clean dashboard your whole search will live in. Here is the setup, step by step.
Next Role Studio — account setup
Set up accountVerify emailSecure sign-inYour portal
Your account, set up in four steps
Create your account, verify it's really you, secure your sign-in, and walk into a portal that's already shaped around your plan — before a single application goes out under your name.
Sign-up opens at launch. This page shows exactly how setting up your account will work when it does — nothing here registers you today. Register your interest with the button below and we'll contact you when enrolment opens.
Create your account and pick your plan level — your Managed Search tier is set by the salary you're targeting, so your search, your recruiter outreach volume, and your salary-band cap all follow from that one choice.
Pick your plan level
2
Verify your email
We send a verification code to your email. Enter it and your email is confirmed — your portal opens once your email is verified, and not before, so nobody else can claim your account or your search.
Portal opens after verification

Secure your sign-in
Turn on optional two-factor authentication with an email code for an extra layer at sign-in. It's your choice — and it's worth it, because your portal holds your resume and personal documents.

Set up your portal
Land in your private portal with your plan, your scoreboard, and your approvals queue ready. If you add a Job Seeker Website, its guided setup starts here too — questions matched to your package, details prefilled from your resume, templates and your domain name to choose from — all inside your portal; we register the domain and build the site in the background.

Sign-up opens at launch — register your interest below and we'll be in touch.
These are the screens your search will live in — the same dark dashboard style as the videos on this page. The first image is a real screenshot of the demo test account; the setup and studio views below are faithful screen representations in the same style.
Your portal overview — real screenshot, demo test account. Your live counts at a glance: applications in flight, interviews, and what's waiting on you — plus your resume home, with its ATS check and local competition view.

The studio's admin view. This is the operation behind your portal: the pipeline board, the approvals queue, and the analytics the founder works from daily — so nothing in your search sits still unnoticed. Figures shown are illustrative.
02 — The work itself
What actually gets done
No workshops about “networking more.” This is the deliverable list — the same one the founder's own search ran on.
✓Private search portal — one private page with your live scoreboard, applications in flight, and drafts waiting on your approval
✓Enhanced resume — rebuilt from your verified record, results first
✓LinkedIn relaunch — headline, About, skills, and Featured, written to be found
✓Criteria profile — your rules and deal-breakers, enforced on every single application
✓Scored market scans — four job boards plus the open web, every run, deduplicated
✓Open Jobs board — openings we've found on the boards and haven't applied to yet, right in your portal; one click starts the application, and it still waits for your approval before anything is sent
✓Tailored cover letters — role-specific, truthful, wherever a posting offers the field
✓Inbox triage — confirmations filed, signal separated from alert noise
✓Recruiter follow-ups — drafted in your voice, sent only with your approval
✓Interview prep briefs — the fit map, the honest gaps, and your talking points
✓Networking outreach — warm-connection plays at companies already reviewing you (Executive handling)
✓Offer & negotiation review — every offer read carefully before you sign, with a suggested counter
✓Negotiation Plus — total-compensation analysis, counter-draft rounds, priority handling, and a 30-minute strategy call on request (Executive handling)
✓Post-interview thank-yous — drafted for your approval after every interview
✓Reference prep — a short brief for each of your references: the role, and what to emphasise
03 — See the market, daily
Your portal shows you the search — not just the results
A tough job market punishes guessing. Most job seekers send applications into silence and
have no idea whether the problem is their resume, their fit, or the competition. Your
portal replaces that silence with daily visibility, so you can see what's happening and
act the same day — with us, not alone.

On the example plan below (roles up to $160K), this one sits above the band — it stays visible, and moving up a tier opens it.
Example view — an illustration of the portal's layout and the new Open Jobs board, in the style of the screens in the videos on this page. Roles, scores, and figures here are examples, not live listings.
Daily activity, not a weekly wait
Scans run, openings scored, applications submitted, replies received — logged day by day in your portal, so momentum (or a stall) is visible the day it happens.
Every application sits in a stage — scored, applied, screening, interviewing, offer — so you always know exactly where you stand and what happens next.
Example viewExample: 22 applied · 5 screening · 2 interviewing
Fit & ATS views on your resume
See how each opening scored against your criteria, and how your resume checks against ATS standards — with a one-tap update that applies the structural suggestions for you.
Example viewExample: Resume ATS check — 6 of 7 standards met
Connected accounts, top 3 at a glance
Your inbox, LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and Glassdoor connect into the portal, each showing its top three items on your Overview — replies and next steps surface here first, so you can live your whole search in one place.
Your resume is rated against other candidates within a 150-mile radius of your target area, so you can see how strong the field you're competing in really is — and what would move you up it.
Example viewExample: Your resume vs. candidates within 150 miles — top third
“Adjust today” suggestions
When the data shows something — a stale stage, a weak-fit pattern, a resume gap — your portal surfaces a concrete suggestion for today, and we act on it together the same day.
Example viewExample: “3 applications quiet 10+ days — follow-ups drafted for your approval”
The figures above are labelled examples of how the views look — they're illustrations of the portal, not market statistics and not a promise about your search.
04 — Week one, on the record
We ran it on ourselves first — here's week one
Before there were any clients, this system ran within the first week
on the founder's own real job search. Same scoring, same portal, same rules: nothing sent
without a yes, no invented answers. This is an honest proof-of-concept run on ourselves —
not client results, and not a promise about any individual search.
100+
Within the first week · 7 days
applications submitted and confirmed in week one
Seven days of the founder's own search, run on this system before launch. Every role was scored out of 100 before applying — and every one of them cleared the bar and met the search rules below.
Out of 100every role scored out of 100 before applying — nothing went in unscored
Strong fits onlyonly strong-fit roles were submitted — weak matches never carried the founder's name
Weighed carefullyscores weighed role fit, seniority, skills, industry, and pay
One fit bara minimum fit bar ran all week — nothing below it was submitted
Outreachpersonal recruiter outreach ran alongside every application push — people, not just portals
In reviewapplications moved into review at major employers within the week
Reported straightmovement and rejections both showed on the scoreboard — nothing cherry-picked
What the applications covered
Roles across data & analytics, product, project / program, and client leadership — every one full-time, at a $100K+ salary target, with no contract roles and no relocation.
Where they went in
Applications submitted through LinkedIn, Indeed, and ZipRecruiter, and directly through employers' own career portals — wherever each role actually lived.
How week one went
✓Applications moved into review. By the end of week one, applications were sitting in active review at major employers — momentum within days, not weeks.
✓A resume download within days. An employer downloaded the founder's resume within days of the application landing — a signal the materials were being read, not just received.
✓A door opened through a recruiter. A recruiter conversation opened the door to a senior leadership opportunity.
✓Outreach ran alongside, not instead. Personalized outreach to recruiters and talent contacts ran while the applications went in — people, not just portals.
✓And yes, some rejections too — that's a real search, reported straight. The scoreboard shows the no's alongside the movement.
The fit score runs 0–100 across role alignment, seniority, skills, industry, location and pay, and interview likelihood. Only roles that cleared the fit bar were submitted. Every engagement runs on this same scoreboard — yours lives in your private search portal.
05 — Pricing
Priced by the role you're aiming at
Managed Search is priced by the salary you're targeting — so the fee stays proportional
to what the role pays, whether you're landing your first professional role or your next
leadership one — and unlike some services, there is no percentage-of-salary
success fee on top, ever.

Recruiter outreach is included on every tier — the weekly message volume above grows with your plan, and Executive handling is unlimited. Recruiter outreach needs LinkedIn Premium on your account to work properly.
One plan, one range — by design. Each plan covers roles up to the top of its salary band: a plan targeting under $75K covers roles paying up to $75K, the $75K–$110K plan covers roles up to $110K, and so on. Your search never quietly reaches above the tier you chose. Want to aim higher? Move up a tier and your search opens up with it.
Every Managed Search tier includes
✓Private search portal — scoreboard, applications in flight, approvals queue, and daily analytics
✓Intake & criteria profile — your targets and deal-breakers, enforced on every application
✓Search matched to your tier — your plan covers roles up to the top of its salary band; move up a tier to aim higher
✓Resume enhancement & LinkedIn relaunch, kept current
✓Recurring scored searches & applications, with tailored cover letters
✓Recruiter outreach — personalised messages to recruiters and hiring contacts, at your tier's weekly volume (10/week up to unlimited on Executive handling); needs LinkedIn Premium on your account
✓Inbox filing & triage and recruiter follow-up drafts for your approval
✓Interview prep briefs before every call

✓Post-interview thank-you follow-ups — drafted for your approval after every interview
✓Reference prep briefs — your references briefed on the role and what to emphasise
No placement fees. No percentage of your salary. No placement guarantee — anyone who promises you a job is selling you something else; we promise the work, the honesty, and the scoreboard. Cancel any time — ideally because you just signed an offer. Pricing shown is the planned pricing for when enrolment opens; this page is a preview.

06 — The guardrails
Five rules we don't break
These aren't marketing. They're the operating constraints the whole system runs under — the reason a Next Role Studio application can be defended line by line in an interview.
R1
Every answer is true. Applications are built only from your verified record. If a claim can't be sourced, it doesn't ship.
R2
Nothing public without your approval. Posts, outreach, and messages are drafted for you — never sent behind your back.
R3
We never hold your passwords. Your accounts stay yours. Automation assists a human; it doesn't replace your judgment or your logins.
R4
Blocked beats faked. If a form can't be completed truthfully, we park it and tell you exactly why — we don't invent our way past it.
R5
No placement guarantees. Anyone who promises you a job is selling you something else. We promise the work, the honesty, and the scoreboard.
Ready when you are.
Tell us about the role you're aiming at — the studio replies personally, usually the same day.
