Professional Services
As an active job seeker, you're looking for competitive advantage during the interview process. But you may not always be interviewing through TRU Staffing Partners. With TRU Professional Services, you can now get the benefits of a TRU representative preparing you for interviews, reviewing and refining your resume, and helping you handle your own salary negotiations.
Executive/C-Suite
Work directly with TRU's Founder & CEO, a four-time Inc. 5000 fastest-growing company award-winning leader who has walked in your shoes and placed hundreds of C-Suite executives in the Fortune 1000, Am Law 200, SaaS and software space, and consulting firms all over the world for the last 25 years.
Sales/Business Development
Work directly with Executive Vice Presidents or C-Suite Executives who have personally represented thousands of sales professionals, and acutely understand how revenue generators need to interview and negotiate differently to not only get the job, but get the best possible offer.
Mid-Career
Job moves made in the middle of your career determine vertical and financial mobility for your future. Mid-career job seekers also face the broadest competition for jobs. Give yourself the advantage that others don't have by engaging in TRU representation to help you interview and negotiate.
Early Career
B2B Outplacement
Invest more meaningfully in the success of your exiting employees. By contracting with TRU Professional Services at an organization level — whether your company or firm is planning a reduction in force, or simply managing cyclical workforce transitions — you will help departing employees move from feeling deflated to being empowered. This departing gift protects employer brand reputation at its most vulnerable moment.
Law Schools & Universities
TRU Professional Services offers individualized career support for your graduates. By partnering with TRU, you will increase the likelihood of your graduates getting jobs — and faster. Law school graduates will have unique benefit opportunities based on TRU's deep connectivity with the legal community. This investment in your post-graduates' professional success will provide tailored feedback and constructive criticism well beyond broad formulaic career counseling and resume revision vendors.
Why Work With Us?
Resume Refinement
TRU excels in refining resumes to help candidates secure jobs. Our experienced team closely collaborates with you, analyzing your existing resume and identifying areas for improvement. By strategically highlighting qualifications, achievements, and industry-specific keywords, we enhance your chances of standing out in a competitive job market and teach you how to use your resume as an outline for a future interview process.
Interview Preparation
TRU helps you prepare to be the best version of yourself in job interviews with unique rehearsal techniques and decades of knowledge of what works and what doesn't. During interview preparation calls, TRU representatives provide nuanced adjustments to job seekers related to articulation of experience and skillset, tone, vernacular, vocabulary, expression of personal ideologies, visual self-representation, and handling difficult conversations, and will boost your confidence along the way.
Negotiation Support
TRU will help any job seeker understand and evaluate what they can and should be asking for during a negotiation and help mitigate against the risk of losing an offer by negotiating poorly. With TRU's support, you can confidently evaluate salary offers, benefits packages, bonus opportunities, stock allocations, vestment timelines, equity earn-ins, and other aspects of the job offer to make informed decisions.

TRU Professional Services: FAQ

TRU Professional Services gives any job-seeker access to the benefits of working with a TRU talent agent. Your TRU representative will help you prepare for a job interview, review and refine your resume, and help you handle your own salary negotiations. Executive, sales, and mid-career packages gives you two hours of 1x1 time with an experienced executive to be used in 30 or 60-minute increments to discuss the topics most important to you. Early career packages give you one hour of 1x1 time to be used in 30 or 60 minute increments.
Who are the TRU executive consultants?
The TRU executive consultants are tenured TRU executives and talent agents, each of whom has at least a decade of experience in staffing, recruiting, and talent management. You will be matched with an executive consultant whose experience and perspective best meets your needs. To learn more about TRU's team, click here.
What specific services are offered under TRU Professional Services?
When you book a package with a TRU Professional Services executive consultant, you can use the time with them to rehearse for an upcoming job interview, review and refine your resume or LinkedIn profile, get advice on approaching salary negotiations, or any combination thereof.
What if I need more time than the consultation hours in my package?
You may book additional packages at any time to ensure you receive the dedicated time and attention you need. TRU does not offer ad-hoc purchases beyond the current packages offered.
Do I have to be actively seeking a job to use TRU Professional Services?
Yes. To get the most out of TRU Professional Services, you should come prepared to discuss an upcoming scheduled job interview that was not brokered through TRU Staffing Partners, or strategies and tactics for positioning yourself to land a specific role type for which you are applying.
What if I want general career advice?
TRU Professional Services is not career coaching. Unless you are an ediscovery, data privacy, cybersecurity, or tertiary professional, we're probably not the best resource for general career advice. If you are in one of these verticals, we're happy to give career advice free of charge, and are happy to represent you free of cost. TRU Professional Services are for job seekers who are actively preparing for an upcoming job interview.
How does TRU handle potential conflicts of interest between job seekers and hiring organizations?
Like with all our lines of business, TRU runs conflicts checks on behalf of all our clients — TRU Professional Services customers included.
What is your confidentiality policy?
Everything you say to our executive consultants is confidential, as is everything we say to you.
How does this service differ if I am interviewing with a TRU client?
The primary difference is that if you are interviewing with a TRU client (through TRU), this service is no cost to you. You still receive resume refinement, interview preparation and rehearsal, and negotiation assistance (although we will negotiate on your behalf if you are interviewing through us with one of our clients). To view current openings and apply to work with one of our clients, click here.
Can these services help me if I'm interviewing for an internal promotion?
Yes! Positioning yourself to win is just as if not more important when applying for an internal promotion. We take internal promotion clients seriously and provide interview preparation, rehearsal, and negotiation support for internal roles. Knowing when and how to ask for a raise — and for how much — are all things we can help with.
What is your cancellation policy?
There is a one-day grace period after purchasing a package where you may cancel without penalty. After that, you are responsible for the full cost of the package whether you use the service or not.
What if I need to reschedule my consultation?
You may reschedule your appointments, if needed, no more than two times.
Where and how do consultations take place?
Consultations take place via TRU's secure Zoom platform. Your TRU executive consultant will be on-camera, and we strongly suggest you be on camera as well.
Is there an option for payment plans?
We do not offer payment plans at this time.
Can I switch between tiers if my career situation changes?
Yes. You may upgrade to a higher tier at any time, and simply pay the difference between your originally booked package and your desired package. If you have a partially used package, we will apply a credit from your first package toward the purchase of your new package.
Are these services applicable to job seekers outside the U.S. or those seeking to work abroad?
Yes — these services are appropriate for all global job-seekers. However, TRU Professional Services executive consultants are all based in the United States. TRU will not advise on work visa requirements.
How should I prepare for my consultation with a TRU executive?
Once you've registered for a package, you will receive documentation from TRU on how to prepare for your call. In addition, we'll ask to gather some information from you, including a copy of your resume, the job description for the job for which you are applying or interviewing.
Does TRU offer outplacement services for organizations?
Yes, we provide TRU Professional Services for organizations preparing for reductions in force or for universities providing resources to new graduates. To learn more, click here. For custom package pricing based on group size, contact the TRU Professional Services team.
Do you offer any guarantees for success in interviews or negotiations after using your services?
TRU cannot control the outcomes of your interviews, only the preparation leading up to it.
Does my TRU Professional Services package expire?
Yes. You must use your TRU Professional Services consultation package within 6 months of purchase.
Should anyone else look at my offer letter or employment contract aside from my TRU consultant?
Yes. We advise all employees to develop relationships with employment attorneys in their state who have an enriched understanding of local law. TRU executive consultants are not licensed attorneys providing employment legal counsel. We specifically advise sales and business development executives to foster strong relationships with a local employment attorney, as they are the employees most likely to be dramatically impacted by the terms of their employment.
How soon before a job interview should I book my consultation?
Ideally, no less than 48 hours, and no more than two weeks. These are not hard and fast rules, but what we've found to be most effective. Scheduling consultations with less than 48 hours' notice will be scheduled based on our availability.
