Introduction
The key question is simple: who does the work? Advice can improve a search, but it does not automatically reduce the time spent on applications and outreach.
Separate guidance from execution
Coaching helps you make decisions and build skills. Managed search services research opportunities, submit agreed applications, or reach out on your behalf. Some programs bundle both.
Read the written scope
Check exactly what is included, the expected activity, who performs it, and what you approve. Use the full resource guide for a deeper explanation of the model.
Summary
Buy the support you need rather than a label. Start with a clear search brief and a written service scope.
