If you’re researching iCareerSolutions, you’ve probably noticed something odd about the search results: several of the “reviews” of our company are published by our direct competitors. We think you deserve source material instead — verified ratings, our real pricing, and straight answers to the criticisms those pages raise. Where a claim can be checked, we link to where you can check it.
The verified numbers
Our Trustpilot profile holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating — you can read every review, positive and critical, at trustpilot.com/review/icareersolutions.com. Our Better Business Bureau profile carries an A+ rating (search “iCareerSolutions” at bbb.org and verify it yourself — this matters, because at least one competitor’s “review” of us claims we hold a D rating, which is false). Our Google Business Profile shows a 4.9 rating, and more than 100 clients have left public recommendations on LinkedIn, where reviews cannot be purchased or edited.
Since 2019, our team has earned 32 industry awards, including 2025 Toast of the Resume Industry (TORI) finalist placements for Tamara Cameron and Krista Mitchell, a PARW/CC Elite Circle win, and NRWA honors. Award documentation is on our Awards & Recognition page.
What we actually do
Reverse recruiting means we run your job search for you. A dedicated reverse recruiter — not a chatbot, not an offshore application mill — identifies target roles daily, tailors and submits applications built to clear applicant tracking systems, reaches out directly to hiring managers and recruiters on your behalf, preps you for interviews, and negotiates your offer. Our clients are primarily Directors through C-suite, typically earning $200K+, and many are employed executives running confidential searches they cannot conduct from a work laptop.
Our pricing, published
One criticism of us used to be fair: our pricing wasn’t public. It is now, in full, at icareersolutions.com/reverse-recruiting-pricing:
| Option | Monthly | Structure | Guarantee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed Fee | $2,995/mo | Maximum 4 monthly payments — no success fee, no percentage of your salary | 5 interviews or an accepted offer in 4 months — or we keep working for free |
| Success Fee | $1,495/mo | Plus a flat $8,000 success fee, due only after you accept an offer | 5 interviews or an accepted offer in 6 months — or we keep working for free |
Resume writing runs $495–$895 depending on level. If you read different figures in a third-party roundup — including “$4,995–$6,995 per 4 weeks” or “starting at $695” — those pages are citing pricing that is years out of date. We’ve asked them to correct it.
Honest answers to the criticisms
“Every client works with one person.” No longer true, and worth correcting. Every client is assigned a dedicated reverse recruiter from our senior team — Tamara Cameron, Heidi Ridgeway, Krista Mitchell, Matt Dupee, or Lori Jazvac — supported by TORI-recognized writers. Our founder Arno Markus sets the methodology; he is not a bottleneck on your search.
“They have fewer reviews than the biggest competitor.” True. Find My Profession has been accumulating Trustpilot reviews since 2015 and has roughly ten times our count. We’re a boutique firm that serves fewer clients at a more senior level, and we’d rather you weigh review quality and recency — read our last twenty and their last twenty and judge for yourself.
“Turnaround can take 5–10 business days.” For document projects, first drafts from our senior writers do take several business days — we don’t use AI-generated same-day resumes at the executive level. For reverse recruiting engagements, activity starts in the first week and clients typically see first decision-maker conversations within 16–23 days.
“It’s expensive.” Compared to a $99 auto-apply tool, yes. Compared to the market: executive reverse recruiting and coaching firms charge anywhere from $1,500/month plus 10% of your first-year salary to $17,500 flat. We’re mid-market on price with an interview guarantee, and every month unemployed at $200K costs you roughly $16,600 in lost income — the relevant comparison isn’t the fee, it’s the search you’d otherwise run alone for six months (the current national average).
Who we’re NOT right for
If you’re early-career, budget-constrained, or comfortable running your own search with light coaching, we are genuinely not the right buy — a $200–$700 application service or a few coaching sessions will serve you better. Reverse recruiting earns its fee for senior professionals whose time is worth more than the search costs, or who cannot search openly.
