How you’ll get support from this inclusive talent recruiter
The employer retains Soladay Olson to post and promote the job opening and gather applications. You ask me questions, we discuss salary, and I provide support as you submit your application through me. I boost your candidacy with insider information for the employer.
When the employer invites you to meet, you and I have a prep session beforehand. You can ask me questions along the way and I’ll try to get answers. If you get the job, the employer hires you directly (you work for them, not me) and pays me a commission for my help — at no expense to you!
Ready to do this, or still need convincing? Read a few testimonials to assuage your fears.

Then, we’ll set up a virtual or in-person one-hour session to review how you’re presenting yourself online, update your resume, develop your list of preferred employers, and discover connections I might have for you.
Fee and scheduling may be arranged by email.
Scholarships may be available for job seekers underrepresented in their field.
Additional By-the-Hour Consulting Sessions for Targeted Pursuit
Follow up our initial work together with a focused session to support your application for a specific opening. Let’s fine-tune your letter and resume to address the job description, find an advocate at the employer company to recommend you, and prepare you for the first interview when you land it!
Hourly rate will apply. Please schedule by email.
