Testimonials
Adam J.
Technical Project Manager
I recommend Relevante for their exceptional resume assistance. Their insights and suggestions were instrumental in revitalizing my resume. Thanks to their guidance, I incorporated technical language based on my work experience, and as a result, I received responses from a position I had previously applied to but hadn't heard back from. Their challenge for me to rethink and rewrite my resume proved invaluable.
Michelle B.
Social Media Manager
Relevante was an instrumental resource during my career transition. They were friendly faces and calming energy during a stressful time. They always offered innovative ideas to apply for jobs, connect with hiring managers, and research potential employers. Having someone there to check up on me during this emotional journey made such a difference! I can't recommend Relevante enough!
David C.
Key Account Manager
I began working with Relevante after my position of 17 years was eliminated due to an acquisition. At that time, I had a very minimal Linkedin presence as well as a 17 year old resume. Relevante was very helpful in getting both of those to a level where I would stand out amongst competition. We continued to work together, meeting weekly to discuss interviews, rejections, etc. I found that they were always upbeat and positive. I did land a new role after four months and I thank Relevante for being a major part of that happening. I highly recommend their services.
Richard G.
Developer
Relevante worked with me to get my resume and my LinkedIn profile up to date. We went over interview questions together to prepare for several interviews I had. I was able to land a new position relatively quickly and I don't think it would have happened without Relevante’s help. If you need an outplacement service to help you with your next position, I would recommend Relevante. Thank you for your help.
Cora K.

I am truly grateful for the listening ear, guidance, and technical advice that Relevante provided me with.
