Great experience

I got the best experience.

I’ve worked with Jackson Stevens for over a decade, leveraging their support to develop a thorough, effective resume and build my LinkedIn presence. The Seven Dimensions process for building resumes is invaluable, and the result is very effective.

Dean is an experienced professional who has helped me advance my career from an individual contributor to Vice President, leading a division at a Fortune 500 company, over the past decade.

I am expanding my engagement with Dean and the team at JSG to leverage more of their offerings as I look ahead.

I highly recommend Dean and the Jackson Stevens team to any executive who wants to take control of driving their career.

They work as a cohesive team with a well defined plan and process. The team has a range of people with different expertise to help you through the process at every stage. The more senior members are able to tackle the tough issues with sound advice and confidence especially when it comes to thorny topics. I really appreciated having g that level of experience experience in my corner. You still have a lot of work to do but their structure a d process make you far more effective than doing it all on your own. I highly recommend their services and trust the process.

I found Jackson Stevens as I was exhausting my own methods of job searching.

From kick off to go to market, their consistency in planned approach and process allows you to stay on track and know where you are in the process and what’s coming next.

Their transparent approach, branding and comprehensive career archiving is truly exemplary.

The team you have the opportunity to work with is thoughtful, extremely responsive and provides insights that allow for very targeted approaches to each individual situation.

What they provide is not only actionable items and tremendous tools, but keys to understanding how the executive search market functions. This brought clarity into a murky industry and provided me confidence in going to market.

They allow you to understand value, impact and the benefits you can bring as a candidate.

As some of the other reviewer’s state, this is an investment in yourself and after going through the experience it truly is. Do not hesitate enlisting Dean and his team to assist you with your search. The results will be better than you could possibly anticipate.

- Exceptional: This is a bespoke service run by consummate professionals. They are responsive, friendly, informative, and supportive. My experience with the coaching/interview prep was a major highlight.

- The Good: (a) The presales was fast and complicated because it was very comprehensive. They explained a lot which helped me trust them compared to their competition - most services I shopped with were a lot less willing to discuss the details of their process. This was informative, but also a bit overwhelming.

(b) The quality of the deliverables (resume, bios, etc.) was good, but needed significant honing by me. I thought it would be a bit more polished, but the work was solid and saved me a LOT of time and energy.

- The Opportunities: While the executives were exceptional and (what I think were) more senior staff were great, the lower-level staff weren't quite as tight. There were a couple missed emails and most anything I asked them had to go up the chain for a decision or guidance. I didn't really understand their value beyond basic coordination, despite them being explained to me as more of a concierge.

- What to Know: This is a boutique service with premium pricing. You pay for an exceptional experience and you get an exceptional experience. I don't think they should apologize for their prices, but this is not for bargain hunters.

- Overall Take: Why 5 stars if I'm giving constructive feedback? Because there is no such thing as perfect, but this organization STRIVES to serve its customers and has EXCEPTIONAL expertise in their field. I learned so much throughout the process and felt prepared for every interaction I had with potential employers. I'm ultimately a very satisfied customer.

I’ve worked with Jackson Stevens for several years and have found their services invaluable in helping advance my career, from interview preparation and recruiter connections to compensation negotiations. Dean is an experienced coach whose guidance has had a real impact on my professional growth. It started with building a strong, marketable resume and optimizing my LinkedIn profile, which immediately increased visibility. Jackson Stevens also connected me with retained search firm recruiters who presented opportunities I never would have found on my own. Dean and his team help you think deeply about your value and how to stand out as part of building your resume. I highly recommend Dean and the Jackson Stevens team to any executive who wants to take control of driving their career.

My experience with Jackson Stevens has completely exceeded my expectations. I would recommend them to anyone seeking to grow their network and career—not just immediate jobseekers.

Going in, I thought it prudent to get help to find the next step in my career by polishing my resume and online presence. What I received was a transformation of how I saw myself, my accomplishments, and my career trajectory—resulting in much more than a new resume, but a newfound direction in my career.

I went in trying to get help in “finding the next thing,” after frustrating experiences applying to roles I was well qualified (or overqualified) for, leveraging recommendations that included engaging hiring managers. After speaking to some former Jackson Stevens clients and hearing their enthusiastic reviews, I decided to give it a try. All my frustration melted away once I started going through the process with Jackson Stevens. I feel like I have received my money’s worth before I found my next role and have already referred peers and colleagues who are looking to grow their careers. As a Fortune 10 product executive, I’m no longer limited to who I know at competing companies and what opportunities they have, or waiting for the next headhunter email. With Jackson Stevens, I‘m handling this process in the same way I’d run a business—by establishing scalable and repeatable mechanisms tailored to my use case.

I cannot stress enough how strongly I believe that I could not duplicate their results on my own, or even with another firm. Even when I was just getting started, I was impressed by the nuance of their questions that really change one’s perception of themselves and their accomplishments. You truly get more back the more you put in. For the first time in my career, I gained meaningful clarity into what I want to do (not just what to do next), who I want to become professionally, and how to tell that story. I’ve received coaching that has helped me understand how what I’m saying can be interpreted positively or negatively, with a team I trust is dedicated to my success. The deliverables I’ve received are quite literally a foundation for future success, with clear line of sight in terms of communication and next steps. I now have well researched frameworks that I believe will bear fruit over decades. The process has built my confidence in both myself and Jackson Stevens—it is an investment in myself and my future, and well worth it!

Earlier in my career, I sought assistance refining my résumé and LinkedIn profile. Companies offering such services are plentiful — but Jackson Stevens stands apart. What they provided was not a simple rewrite or profile enhancement; it was a comprehensive, strategic redefinition of how I presented myself across multiple professional dimensions.

As an accomplished executive within a single industry, I reached a point where I was ready to make a change, yet lacked the time and bandwidth outside of my day-to-day responsibilities to chart that course effectively. Jackson Stevens brought both structure and clarity to the process. They were transparent in their approach — they did not find the job for me — rather, they enabled me to create and recognize opportunities that might otherwise remain unseen.

This engagement was not a transactional purchase, but rather deliberate investment in my future. With Jackson Stevens, I gained access to a team of highly capable professionals fully committed to positioning me for the next stage of my career. Their guidance and expertise were instrumental in helping me pursue and secure a role that I would not have identified on my own.

I cannot recommend Jackson Stevens highly enough! As a government professional looking to transition into the private sector, I knew I needed expert guidance to navigate what felt like unfamiliar territory. Jackson Stevens exceeded all my expectations.

Their team understood the unique challenges of moving from government service to private industry. They helped me effectively translate my public sector experience into language that resonated with private sector employers, highlighting transferable skills and accomplishments that I hadn't even realized would be so valuable.

From rebranding my resume and LinkedIn profile to coaching me on the cultural differences between government and corporate environments, Jackson Stevens provided invaluable support at every step. They prepared me to articulate my value proposition in interviews and helped me understand compensation structures and negotiation strategies that were completely new to me coming from government service.

What truly set them apart was their responsiveness and personalized approach. They were always available to answer my questions, provide strategic advice, and boost my confidence during what could have been an overwhelming transition.

If you're considering a similar transition, I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Five stars without hesitation!

If you are a senior executive, Jackson Stevens is the team you want and need.

I had to send out one last email to celebrate. Hours ago, I received the final revised Offer Letter. I signed and returned it this evening. Ken, I can’t thank you enough for the conversations, the advice, and simply the encouragement that added to my confidence in this entire process.

As an executive, I have never been on this side of the interviewing process and it has been exceptionally educational. The Jackson Stevens team has prepared me for the next time I go through a professional transition. The knowledge and resources I gained will certainly allow me to pay-it forward to those in my network looking for their next employment opportunity. I will certainly share Jackson Stevens with all executives I know.

I am thankful for the powerhouse team I have worked with directly and those behind the scenes. I am excited to continuing with the services to ensure I set up a solid pipeline of executive opportunities to support my future. This is a partnership you want in your corner that will help you get to your next level.

Jason M.

With MD and MBA degrees, I had successfully built a unique, cross-functional, international executive career in healthcare and finance. However, I reached a level of seniority in my career at which I realized my next career move would require far more than my professional network alone. I knew I needed to be seen by more of the right decision-makers. I also knew I would need a team who could position me accordingly.

Jackson Stevens did exactly that. In a few months, I went from low recruiter visibility, with fewer than 10 executive recruiters in my network to 700+ targeted connections, more than 25 high quality interviews, and a stronger, sharper market presence than I’d ever had.

Their process is extremely well structured and backed by deep research and knowledge of executive recruitment. They helped to rework my resume and positioning with the precision and insight of people who truly understand how to market complex professional backgrounds like mine.

Like all successful professionals, I had a full schedule and lacked the necessary time to market myself. As in any important project I lead in my work, I needed a team behind me. By working with Jackson Stevens, I got a team plus significant technology on my side. I could never have accomplished a fraction of what has been achieved to date if I tried to do this alone.

This is well worth the financial investment to take your career to the next level. A piece of advice I would give to anyone embarking on this journey with Jackson Stevens: purchase the Concierge package. You’re too busy for “do it yourself.” Get the maximum help from this excellent team; they add way more value than they cost.

Game-Changer for My Job Search
Thanks to their support, I recently accepted an offer with a fantastic company that aligns with both my expertise and values. SaaS products for local government. I truly cannot recommend this team enough. Once I started following their recommendations and instructions, the response was immediate. I even had to start turning down some opportunities just to have enough time to prepare for the ones I was most interested in. That never would have happened in today’s tech environment without your help.
I hired Jackson Stevens after months of navigating the tech job market with little traction, working with Jackson Stevens completely transformed my experience. Their proven process, tailored strategy, and spot-on coaching helped me position myself more clearly and confidently.
This is the team you want in your corner.
I’m incredibly grateful for the clarity, momentum, and results this team helped me achieve. Highly recommend to any senior executive ready to make a move with purpose.

At Jackson Stevens Global I worked with a team of experts in their field. They deliver consulting based in years of data and experience that made me feel very confident about the process and my job search.

First off, I was thrilled that you can use Jackson Stevens at any stage in your job search process - I had already completed several of my interviews when I first engaged with them, so I primarily used their executive compensation advisory service. Ken Pearson, my coach, has extensive experience in this area, being a former HR executive at SAP. Knowing the urgent nature of compensation discussions, Ken was highly responsive with an answer back anywhere from immediately to about 3-4 hours.

While I did not use the resume building package, my advice is to do this, since it will help you discover your capabilities (through detailed analysis of your prior roles, who you've reported to, budgets and teams you've managed, etc.), and what you’re worth (through comps and more) so you can put your best foot forward with fact-based confidence, for roles you didn't imagine possible.

I look forward to continue with their coaching as I onboard so I can set myself up for success from day 1.

Jackson Services stands out for its structure, pace, and precision. From the beginning, there was a clear path forward, a project plan, and strong accountability around every deliverable. Each team member has a defined role, yet they operate with impressive cohesion and awareness of the full picture. The materials—accomplishments, interview prep, resumes, brand narrative, LinkedIn, and cover notes—are exceptionally well-crafted, deeply personalized, and aligned to my voice and goals.

They balance storytelling with market relevance in a way that never feels templated. Every piece feels custom, polished, and reflects the work of an executive team.

Most importantly, they helped me expand how I saw myself. They bridged the gap between where I was and where I wanted to go—professionally and energetically. Their combination of professionalism, emotional intelligence, and strategic clarity has made them feel like a personal board of directors cheering me on in this career chapter.

I have had a great experience working with Jackson Stevens. From the very first conversation, it was clear they focus deeply on getting the early stages of the recruitment process right — and they do it exceptionally well. Their approach to personal branding, resume development, and presentation materials is not only thoughtful but also incredibly streamlined and efficient.

Everything was organized, timely, and clearly communicated. They asked the right questions to draw out the most compelling parts of my experience and helped shape a professional narrative that truly reflects my strengths.

I am truly impressed by Jackson Stevens and Dean’s team. After nearly 20 years of not actively searching for a new role, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had built my career from intern to executive at Enterprise and later stepped into the role of CEO after co-purchasing a business in 2017. When I made the decision to begin transitioning out of day-to-day operations and explore new leadership opportunities, I knew I needed support from a team who had a track record of success and the highest level of experience.

The personalized process and attention was amazing. As a part of their Concierge program, I felt fully supported as I took this step. They didn’t just help me feel more confident—they gave me the tools, training, coaching and support to build a strategic network from the ground up, and I will market myself in ways I wouldn’t have known to on my own.

Highly recommend to any executive ready to play at their next professional chapter.

I have been working with JSG for about 3 months now. I was referred by a colleague who had great success with JSG.

I originally tried to work with them to help me prepare for my next step in my career, rebuilding my resume, helping me optimize LinkedIn, and connecting me with recruiters. As I engaged more and more with the team, I learned that they could do so much more. They have helped me up my game in executive presence and communication. They have helped me improve my personal branding. They have worked with me to hone my interviewing skills. They have helped me strategize about not just my next job, but also my career trajectory.

The JSG process is strategic and personalized. The team truly cares.  They understood my diverse background across industries like healthcare, life sciences, financial services, retail, and cloud infrastructure, and tailored my positioning to match the caliber of opportunities I’m seeking.

If you’re an executive looking for clarity, momentum, and meaningful results in your job search— you need to have the right strategy and support in place - don’t hesitate. This is a serious partner for serious executive candidates.

5 Stars

Even with decades of leadership experience in sales across life sciences and finance, I wasn’t getting traction in my job search. I knew I brought value—but the market wasn’t seeing it.
That’s where Jackson Stevens Global came in. They helped me completely reposition myself. From the resume and LinkedIn to how I showed up in interviews, they gave me a modern, strategic approach that made my experience stand out in the right way.
What impressed me most was how personalized everything was. How the system worked and was so dialed in. The coaching wasn’t generic—it was direct, insightful, and confidence-boosting. They helped me speak to my strengths, overcome concerns around how I might be perceived, and go to market with clarity and confidence.
This is the team you want by your side if you want to position yourself to land your ideal role. Worth the investment if you care about your career and want not only job satisfaction but security and growth in your future.
