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.

Working with Jackson Stevens Global has been nothing short of life-changing. I had no idea about the "real way" recruiting agencies work and the process by which they operate. The team at Jackson Stevens opened my eyes to a whole world that operates underneath the surface of sourcing and recruiting, and my career will be forever changed because of it.

The executive coaching is thoughtful, strategic, and tailored to my unique goals, and the operating process is dynamic and dialed in. I came to them seeking clarity and a high-level transition into roles such as Chief Strategy Officer, Chief Transformation Officer, Head of Strategy, or Head of Innovation. I was also exploring global opportunities, particularly overseas. The JSG team didn’t just help me organize my career narrative—they elevated it. I am now having powerful conversations with recruiters and lining up interviews where I have confidence and know exactly how to navigate the interviews to get exactly what I want.

I needed a team that could help me break through to the next level and manage my career smart. JSG prepared me with precision. Every conversation, document, and piece of feedback was geared toward positions that put me at the highest level. It felt like they had the formula—and they executed it with care, candor, and excellence.

If you’re ready to step into your next-level role, especially on the global stage, this is the team to trust.

Working with the expert team at Jackson Stevens has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. After stepping away from my COO role and entering the job market for the first time in 30 years, I was unsure where to begin. The landscape has changed dramatically—and I knew I needed expert support. I have contacts, but this is a plan for confidence, opportunities and security.
From day one, the coaching, strategic guidance, and high-caliber resources provided by the team were world-class. They didn’t just plug me into a system—they tailored a plan around my goals, experience, and target compensation. The executive search connections they offer are real, well-curated, and relevant to my level.
What stood out most was how they helped me treat the process like a pipeline—equipping me to build momentum, communicate effectively, and position myself for top-tier opportunities like CEO, COO, or President roles in industries like manufacturing, semiconductors, and advanced energy.
I am looking forward to effective marketing strategy and a trusted team.
If you’re a senior leader navigating a competitive market, I can't recommend this team highly enough. They combine smart systems with personal attention—and it works.

Before partnering with Jackson Stevens, I was feeling stuck in my role at a Fortune 200 global player in aerospace and industrial markets. Despite a strong background across a number of industrial sectors, landing an interview was a challenge. My goal was a role with P&L ownership and a compensation package north of $650K, but the path forward was unclear.

The Jackson Stevens team helped me build a high-impact executive resume and coached me to show up powerfully in interviews. Their strategic outreach—targeting the right executive search firms and high-level opportunities—was a game-changer. The Jackson Stevens approach to interview preparation made a tremendous difference in how I brand and promote myself, and ultimately helped me land my dream job in a global leadership role at a Fortune 100 company.

If you're a senior executive looking for a partner to help you find and land your next role, Jackson Stevens is who to call.

SDD, VP, Aerospace & Defense

I have been very impressed with the customer-orientated approach of Jackson Stevens. From the beginning, Dean and his team have been attentive to every detail to be in service of my career needs and aspirations. I never felt like I was just another client -- I truly felt like I was one of one. I believe that JackonStevens will be someone I can go to in the future when needed as I continue my career journey. Highly recommended for others who are looking to accelerate their career trajectory or just retool their toolbox.

After nearly two decades at a major tech company, I found myself up against a glass ceiling. Despite a strong track record leading growth across multiple industries, I realized that breaking into executive-level roles truly aligned with my experience and compensation goals would require a different approach.

I turned to Jackson Stevens for their reputation in executive transition services and their ability to connect candidates with the right networks and opportunities. My goal was to land a senior role in a high-growth SaaS or tech company. Before working with them, I’d only had two interviews in six months that matched my criteria.

Fast forward: I’ve just accepted a Senior Executive role in Cybersecurity-a new industry for me-after negotiating three title options and presenting a financial incentive plan directly to the CEO, which was approved. Even more valuable, I now have a long-term positioning strategy and the confidence that comes from having a system and a team I can trust.

During my offer negotiations, I received four inbound recruiter calls in four days-double the number of serious interviews I’d had in the previous six months. These were high-caliber opportunities I would never have accessed without Jackson Stevens’ expertise and deep network in the executive search industry.

Now, I have a recruiter-facing resume, a strong MVP I continue to refine, and a high-level network that would have been out of reach on my own. I’m positioned to win-not just now, but for the long term.

Dean and the Jackson Stevens team coached me through every step: from strategy and story refinement to negotiation and long-term planning. If you’re a senior executive ready to level up and compete at the top, trust the process. The investment has already paid off, and then some.

Highly recommend.

Jackson Stevens is the secret weapon you need to succeed in your executive job search. My every instinct on job searching was wrong, as it is for most people. This is a better way that is unlike any other service in the market. You get a team of experts working to help you find your next job with a proven, research-based approach.

They serve you up hundreds of unposted/unadvertised job opportunities and help you get interviews with ones that interest you. They work with you to create a best-in-class resume (and LinkedIn profile) and send it to thousands of recruiters and databases. They teach you how to get interviews and how to ace them. I thought I was a good interviewer, they turned me into a great one. They conduct CRM campaigns on your behalf that result in countless more recruiter connections and conversations. My first campaign ended and I'm still having 1 or 2 recruiter calls a day. I think I've now had over 100 recruiter conversations. And they configure your LinkedIn account so that you come up in more searches. The numbers and timing game becomes stacked in your favor.

I was skeptical of the high price tag but after doing my due diligence, I decided to make an investment in myself. It is no different than putting the same amount of money in the stock market, but with a much better ROI. It’s an investment you can’t afford not to make if you are going to get a new job. If you put in the time and the work, and follow their fact based and carefully researched advice, you WILL land your next c-suite/executive level job, just as I did.

I worked with Tammy Homegardner’s The Job School and Challenger, Gray & Christmas in the past. I don’t know how else to say this: they don’t work. Going to little league games and passing out flyers of yourself? (What CGC recommended). Are you kidding me? There simply is no comparison - this is a one-of-a-kind operation that will deliver for you. The alternative is firing off application after application, month after month, with a zero-response rate or using gimmicky on-line services that don’t produce results. Stop the insanity. Make an investment in yourself and get to work with Jackson Stevens. You will sleep better at night knowing you have a team of job search ninjas fighting for you. I can attest that this is the real deal. The rest promise…Jackson Stevens delivers. I am proof – they helped me land my dream Chief Marketing Officer job. My highest recommendation – Five Stars!

I am happy to provide a firsthand reference and answer questions. Feel free to reach out.

After 15+ years in business development, strategy, and digital transformation, I was ready for a change. After relocating to Atlanta, I lacked the local network to make a strategic move into a VP or C-suite role.
That’s why I turned to Jackson Stevens Global.
Their expert team helped me get fully market-ready with the right strategy, positioning, and recruiter-facing materials. From the intake call to the ongoing advisory, client support and custom resources, I feel supported and guided by people who truly understand the executive search space.
This isn’t résumé editing. It’s high-level advisory, branding, and career strategy—delivered by pros.
If you're an executive navigating change and want to move with clarity, confidence, and position yourself with the right connections, I highly recommend working with JSG.

I engaged Jackson Stevens because a close friend and colleague, a publicly traded company CEO had experience with them and spoke very highly of them. My rationale was when you are targeting a c-suite role in a billion dollar company (which I am), standard methods don’t work, the positions are never advertised and Jackson Stevens have figured out how to tap into that market. They are true specialists in executive placement, with an in-depth understanding of the recruitment process. They know how to help execs put their best foot forward in the job search process.

They significantly improved my positioning, highlighting my key success stories, prepared me well on how to answer difficult questions and gave a new perspective on the job search approach. I feel that I am in the right hands having dealt with most of their key team members so far and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone contemplating engaging their services. Best ROI on investment, outstanding customer service, and probably a necessity for a senior exec to help improve their chances of landing a right role with improved comp.

I have had a very successful career as a technology executive to date, but there were always those around me who seemed to magically catapult every 2-3 years into more significant, bolder, more lucrative career opportunities, seemingly out of the blue. How did they do that, I'd wonder. I've found the answer.

The Jackson Stevens team—truly a cohesive, massive team of experts—has taken charge of my career, turned ME into the product, and made the daunting challenge of "what's next" in a very challenging market into something I'm no longer at all concerned about. They've also taken 80% of the heavy lifting of resumes, my network, LinkedIn, outreach, marketing, all off my plate, which is of course, a force multiplier. Expensive? Not in the slightest when considered through the lens of long-term, proactive career management.

Over the past two months, the team has become an extension of my daily routine & looking forward, and is the strategic career management team that I should've hired a decade ago.

JSG provides a unique service in the market. I read Dean's material, and it made sense. There is no magic, just solid approaches and actual work on the candidate's behalf, rather than just advice (of course, they give advice as well). I have had more than 5x the number of conversations as standard methods.

There are some great people at JSG. They know their market better than anyone, and it is reflected in the results. I have appreciated their willingness to work through complex situations and find solutions. I absolutely recommend JSG, there is nothing else like their approach, and it produces results.
