If this sounds familiar

You've done everything they told you to do.

  • Rewritten your CV. Maybe more than once.
  • Optimized your LinkedIn.
  • Posted a few times.
  • Applied for roles you are clearly qualified for.
  • Reached out to recruiters.
  • Tried networking.
  • Messaged everyone you know.

And still, the interviews are not coming.

So what are you missing?

600+

applications for a single senior role

70%

of roles never posted

Apply and pray sends you into the void with everyone else. The executives who get the interviews are already in the conversation before the role exists. They position their experience around the problems a hiring leader needs solved, and they make sure the right people see it.

Your host

I've watched this pattern for 12 years.

I'm Silvia Vladimirova. I've spent 12+ years in HR and recruitment, including hiring across the Middle East. I keep seeing highly experienced people assume their experience will speak for itself. It rarely does.

Over those years I built a system for the part of the search a CV cannot do. It gets you in front of the right people and starts conversations before a vacancy reaches a job board.

72+ executives have used it to land interviews and offers, including at NEOM, Gartner, Mashreq, G42 and Google. Over three evenings, I'll help you build yours.

How Laila did it

Before

Laila had been searching for 8 months. She relied on applications and recruiters, and nothing came of it.

What we did

1. We worked on her positioning, so the market could see exactly where she fits.

2. We taught her how to make her application visible, so her resume reached decision-makers directly.

After

Three interviews with global companies. Then an offer from Gartner as Sales Director, in 76 days.

Laila, Sales Director

The offer

Everything included in your $47.

  • 3 live implementation sessions, 60 minutes each
  • Live reviews of your messages
  • Recruiter and hiring manager outreach scripts
  • The Hidden Job Market Playbook
  • A workbook with AI prompts
  • Real client examples
  • Replays available through Sunday
  • A clear 30-day implementation roadmap

$47

One payment. No subscription.

One hour of career coaching starts at $150, and a resume rewrite from $300. Yet no one teaches you how to message hiring managers and recruiters to get replies and interviews.

Registration closes when Day 1 starts. 30-day money-back guarantee, and replays available through Sunday.

Who this is for.

This is for you if

  • You are a senior manager, director, VP, GM or senior executive targeting your next role.
  • You have 10+ years of experience and you are not generating enough of the right interviews.
  • You are targeting the UAE or KSA.
  • You are tired of waiting on job boards and on recruiters to call you back.
  • You want a system you will actually execute.

This is not for you if

  • You want an agency to find the job for you, or only a CV or LinkedIn rewrite.
  • You want a course to watch without doing the work.

30-day money-back guarantee. Replays available through Sunday.

30 days
30-day money-back guarantee

The 30-day money-back guarantee.

Attend all 3 days.

Implement the system for 30 days.

If you receive no response, introduction or interview, I'll refund your $47.

Questions you might have

I've already optimized my CV and LinkedIn.

Good. That is the foundation, and this starts where it stops. You'll work on your actual search. Where it's breaking down, which companies to focus on, who to approach and what to say. In the live sessions I review real examples from senior searches like yours.

Recruiters don't reply to me.

That is one reason this challenge exists. We work on who you approach and what you say to them. A generic message with a CV attached gets ignored, so we replace it with a message built for the person reading it.

I don't have UAE experience.

That matters, and I won't pretend it doesn't. Your task is to position the experience you do have around the problems employers in your target market need solved, then create enough relevant conversations to find where it is valued. Vinoth had no UAE experience and landed an IT Project Manager role in 37 days.

I'm very senior. Will this work for me?

The challenge was built for senior managers, directors and VPs. At your level, positioning and targeted relationships matter more, and mass applications matter less.

What if I can't attend live?

Replays are available through Sunday. The live reviews of your messages happen only in the live sessions.

Silvia Vladimirova
See you Tuesday

You can spend another month applying and waiting.

Or you can spend three evenings building the system that starts the conversations for you.
