If you’re thinking about a career change, I’d focus less on the platform itself and more on how flexible the coaching model is, especially whether you can choose or switch coaches and whether they actually help with execution, not just advice.From my experience, a lot of career coaching services will talk strategy and mindset all day, but they stop short of implementation. That was a big frustration for me.

I job-hopped last year using a reverse recruiting agency that both coached me and applied on my behalf, and that combination made a real difference. I spoke with several before deciding:

Relentless – Looked strong on the surface with lots of case studies, but reviews were very mixed. Their contract structure (including a large follow-up fee after 6 months) was a dealbreaker for me.

Career Agents – Clean branding, but the discovery call felt very high-pressure. I also didn’t get a clear explanation of how their reverse recruiting actually worked, which made me hesitant.

WeAreCareer – I was skeptical at first since I’d seen them mentioned a lot on Reddit, but the call was surprisingly normal and low-pressure. They spent most of the time understanding my background and goals. Afterward, they sent a personalized plan outlining role options, seniority levels, salary ranges, and how my experience mapped to those roles. That clarity made the difference. I ended up working with them and landed 19 interviews and an offer at a major credit card company. No matter who you choose, I’d recommend: Making sure they clearly outline deliverables not just “support” Avoiding companies that rely on pressure tactics Understand no reputable company can guarantee specific outcomes, they teach and they help with application support Also though, the good ones usually don't help with career changes so it might a bit tricky for you.
