Ketan is the best! I felt like he had my back throughout the entire process, and with his help I was able to get everything I asked for in negotiations. 10/10 would recommend to a friend

Ketan offered me some direct criticism around a human-centered perspective regarding my resume and profile which was very helpful. I had been focusing too much on passing through ATS systems and not as much on the human review of too much information which explains why I was getting many HR screenings but far fewer hiring manager calls. Thanks Ketan!

The meeting was very informative. Ketan is very encouraging and motivating person. He saw where I could do improvement including my resume , my answers, my pitch. He acknowledged that job search can demotivate you and I was facing that when I spoke to him. His coaching helped me to pick myself up and get going for the job search. I recommend more 100% to reach HireClub, for career coaching, guidance, interview prep and resume review

Ketan provided great initial advice on how to word my asks during negotiation, especially since I opted to do so via email. Our phone session was to the point and he provided additional follow up via messaging. There were questions I was able to ask both of my job offers that I don't think I would have if Ketan hadn't helped me understand their importance during negotiations.

I had a very productive coaching session with Ketan! The conversation flowed naturally. Ketan relayed constructive feedback while patiently listening to my goals and dilemmas. We explored different directions I could pursue, weighing the different advantages across all of my options. Our discussion also yielded some valuable insights that I never considered before and I gained a new perspective on some things. I feel really empowered to make my next move and pay it forward. HireClub is one of the most supportive communities I've ever been a part of, and this service an excellent addition!

Ketan was extremely helpful during my compensation negotiation process. I had a short time to counter and finalize my offer, but he made time to hear my situation, figure out how to counter, proof read my emails and give solid guidance. His quick responses made sure I could keep the process moving fast. He was also upfront with me and helped me realize when I needed to walk away. Before contacting Ketan, I felt lost about how to negotiate, but his advice was spot on and I was able to successfully negotiate the compensation I wanted with his help! I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs help figuring out how to negotiate.

He helped me view what I was communicating from the lens of a hiring manager and gave me direct critique.

I booked a salary negotiation session because someone else wrote a review that was posted on Facebook, saying that a salary negotiation session will “help you turn mushy intentions and intuition into crystal clear instructions for you to follow”. And true enough, that’s exactly what I got. Within the first two minutes, Ketan shared that statistically, the majority of folks get a significant pay jump by applying to other companies, and not by staying with their current job and trying to negotiate. He also shared that ultimately, if I want to stay with my current job, the most effective way I’m going to possibly get a significant pay rise is by interviewing with other companies, getting some offers and then going back to my current company with another company’s offer in hand, asking them to match that offer. He gave me some great advice - to take the emotion out of the decision, and to not think about how much I like my boss and my current job. Companies don’t have feelings - you aren’t going to get a raise because you’re friends with your boss. And if your boss hasn’t been paying you what you’re worth for x number of years, it’s very unlikely that he’s suddenly going to pay you significantly more tomorrow. Finally, he gave me an action plan with deadlines, and actionable steps, plus some goal-setting resources to check out. $299 is a lot of money for me, and for some people. But please don’t flounder along by yourself - the fact is that we DO NOT have the skills or knowledge to do this by ourselves and get the same results that you would get with a coach. Ketan has what it takes to guide you, as well as a huge network of contacts. Spending this $299 on coaching is more important than anything you could possibly buy for yourself, simply because of the potential for it to lead to an amazing new job. I was NOT ready when I spoke with Ketan. I uploaded a shitty resume that was 4 years old with no metrics and numbers. Ketan still managed to give me pointers on what to work on. If you’re feeling NOT ready, please don’t let that hold you back. Let Ketan provide you with an action plan to follow, and to give you clear, actionable guidance on your next steps. I cannot emphasise how life-changing this conversation was. And by the way, I talked to my boss the day after. Every single thing that Ketan predicted about our conversation was absolutely true. It was naive of me to think that my boss might be willing to give me a significant pay rise, and it took Ketan’s frank advice to instantly get me into the right mindset of letting go of my current job and get excited about the terror and uncertainty of job applications. (This review is left anonymously because I put quite a bit of detail into it but I’m happy to speak with anyone who wants to talk if you get Ketan to connect us. If you're reading this, I beg you to take action and speak with a coach - I am the most not-ready and terrified person you could possibly think of, and if I can do it, SO CAN YOU.)

Holy smokes, the dream of a 1 page resume was made real today! After years of struggling to condense my accomplishments, Ketan was able to turn my focus around in <30 minutes to revamp the story my resume tells.

Speaking to Ketan confirmed I'd choose the right company to seek help from. He listened intently to my needs and wants for a new position as I returned to work after taking time to be a new mother and provided valuable insight to help prioritize and focus.

Ketan was helpful! My 15 minute appointment felt a bit short, so I'd recommend longer for others. However, I was able to get solid suggestions during the short period.

If you are thinking at all about using a salary negotiation coach - stop overthinking it right now and just DO it. I was someone who sat on the fence, wondering if these reviews are just shills. Can this be that much better than advice on the internet. The answer: it is that much better, and these reviews are NOT shills. Paying for a salary negotiation session is paying for someone to be your counterpoint - an experienced voice who will help you turn mushy intentions and intuition into crystal clear instructions for you to follow. It will be worth it - returning orders of magnitude more value than it costs. I stand to make $75k more - and without Ketan's advice - I would have asked for $30k less.

The phone screen went well - Ketan was able to provide a concise but detailed overview of Hireclub and the expectations of a coach. He also answered all of my questions thoroughly - I feel like I have a better understanding of the role and how Hireclub works now. Overall, an enjoyable and informative call.

Ketan made the most of our limited time together; 15 minutes felt like an hour because our session was that productive. I had a much stronger sense of direction in my resume edits, more confidence in my career trajectory, and tangible advice that I was able to quickly implement following our session. Ketan is a pleasure to work with - his passion about this work shines and has really helped me move forward.

Felt like it was 2 hours of information in a 30-minute session, but in a good way!! Very appreciative of all the feedback I received, both positive and critical.

It was wonderful to speak with Ketan. Although just a brief intro call he was able to quickly make sense of a lot of information and provide helpful insights I was able to use immediately. He was empathetic, reassuring and action-oriented, and I would happily work with him again. Thanks Ketan!

This review was very helpful. I really appreciated the feedback. The session did seem a little rushed though. I think 30 minutes would be a better amount of time to go over things. It was hard to get down all the feedback and the only feedback I seem to have been sent was just very basic stuff, not nearly as much as we went over.

Ketan was amazing on our salary negotiation call! He immediately pinpointed issues about my fear of being unemployed and coached me on confidence and wording; so that I’m prepared to get the salary I deserve and not to under-value myself. I’ve been a member of HireClub since their early days and it is a true community that feels like family. Ketan goes over and above , working tirelessly maintain the integrity of HireClub.
