SERVICES
Securing Interviews
Endeavor Agency helps executives, professionals and physicians find job leads from job postings, recruiting firms and word-of-mouth sources. Partnering with us helps you identify many more job leads and secure job interviews.
JOB POSTINGS
Even though there are hundreds of job posting websites, most people only are aware of four or five. Most individuals do not have the time, resources or knowledge to explore and utilize each site. Endeavor invested hundreds of hours in compiling a large database of job boards to help in your search. The biggest frustration frequently shared by candidates is that no one from the employer responds to their application. Endeavor will help you identify key contacts inside your targeted organizations. Endeavor will find their contact information. Endeavor will help you craft verbiage to reach out. Most importantly, Endeavor will help you overcome the emotional challenges of reaching out to people you don’t know. These actions will improve your chances of securing an interview by more than 10x versus applying to a job and waiting for a response.
RECRUITING FIRMS
Individual job seekers usually know few, if any, recruiters. Currently, there are more than 200,000 recruiters in the U.S. at hundreds of recruiting firms. These firms usually do not publicly promote their jobs as they prefer to search for candidates. As with job posting websites, Endeavor created a database of recruiting firms to help you identify and target the right recruiters for your personalized job search to improve your odds of securing an interview. Then, Endeavor helps you find their contact information. Endeavor helps you craft verbiage to use to reach out. Most importantly, Endeavor will help you overcome the emotional challenges of reaching out to people you don’t know. These actions will help you secure countless more screening calls with recruiters.
WORD OF MOUTH
Studies have shown more than 80% of all jobs are filled via word of mouth without ever being advertised. You have to put yourself in the conversation if a job lead is filled using this method. Endeavor will help you target the companies you want to target, then help you identify key contacts within those organizations, make connections and start conversations. The main obstacle preventing most candidates from accessing this largest pool of potential jobs is fear. Endeavor will help you overcome the emotional challenges of reaching out to people you don’t know. These actions will help you uncover many job leads that are not advertised in the very companies for which you want to work.
Career Planning
Endeavor knows everyone goes through phases in their lives that push them in different directions professionally. Endeavor listens closely to our clients to learn more about them as a person, as well as an executive, to help them get a clear picture of what they truly want out of their careers and lives. Then, our team will help you plot a course to reach your career destination.
Professional Career Marketing
Your career marketing materials (resume, cover letter, letters of reference and online profiles) need to be updated and ready to distribute before you start looking for a new opportunity. Endeavor will help you stand out from other applicants and make sure you are interesting and memorable. Our branding professionals have significant training and experience to help you present yourself as the best person to fill the open job you want. Your resume will be reviewed and updated by a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW), which is the global industry standard for professional résumé writers.
Our team doesn’t just provide tips and feedback on your materials. We do the heavy lifting of rebuilding your materials.
Interview Preparation and Coaching
Securing a first-round interview is wonderful, but you will be competing against 10-20 other candidates who have similar experiences and qualifications. And that’s just the first step for most jobs at the C-suite level. Ultimately receiving the job offer normally involves multiple rounds and styles of interviews. You need to be great and on-point at interviews in different settings – phone, video and in-person – to win the offer.
Endeavor Agency educates and prepares our clients to win the offer using the Proactive Interview model. This proprietary system teaches you how to emphasize your value and navigate any interview to a successful close to secure the next step in the process. Your Endeavor agent will conduct live mock interviews via video conference to help you develop your answers and improve your delivery. The training, coaching and practice you get from Endeavor Agency will be the competitive advantage you need in the interview process. Additionally, Endeavor helps you prepare for each specific interview. Our team will help you analyze the company, job description and each individual with whom you will visit to help you gain every possible advantage.
Opportunity Evaluation
During the interview process, most employers will put their best foot forward and try to hide any negative issues in order to fill the position. To produce your best possible outcome, you need as much information as possible about the opportunity, instead of just what the employer presents you. Endeavor helps you review the company culture and the specific opportunity to find its potential positives and negatives. Having our guidance in the evaluation phase can tremendously improve your odds of making good decisions that will lead to greater career satisfaction.
Contract Negotiation
Negotiating your employment package by yourself is a big mistake, according to business and employment experts. Negotiations, even friendly ones, are full of pressure. It’s difficult to not take things personally and remain objective since you are the product. This is where experience and guidance from Endeavor can more than pay for your investment into our services, as your livelihood and hundreds of thousands of dollars are potentially at stake. Negotiations involve many more items besides compensation that are very important for your job enjoyment, protections and career advancement. Endeavor has the experience to help you with all of the elements of negotiating your employment agreement.
Relocation Assistance
Earning a new executive-level or C-suite-level job usually means moving to a new destination. This is a huge task and is very stressful for all involved. Endeavor will provide significant assistance for you to help make your move much less stressful.

Recruiting firms work for an employer – not you. Recruiting firms search for candidates for only one job at a time and the firm’s financial loyalty is to the employer that hired them. They also have no incentive to ensure you, as an individual, win a job offer. Recruiting firms will only help you with the opportunity they present you, and if you don’t win the job offer, you start the entire process over, potentially with a different recruiter.
Endeavor works for you – the individual. Our team helps you on multiple job leads and stays with you during your entire journey. We are financially incentivized to help you at every stage of your job search and to create advantages over other candidates seeking the same position(s) as you. We help you secure interviews, win job offers and ultimately, create the best possible outcome for you.

Endeavor’s partnership model is affordable, even if you are between jobs. We charge a small percentage of the first-year income once a client accepts a new position. This ensures both Endeavor and you are focused on the same thing – your success.

This initiation fee helps us confirm each client is serious and committed to our partnership process in order to create a better career outcome for the individual.
This fee is invoiced once you accept your new job. Monthly payment options are available.

Our financial model makes it necessary for us to carefully evaluate a candidate’s marketability and their level of commitment.
