Arno Markus, BA, MSc., CPRW

Founder & CEO, iCareerSolutions

Multi-Award-Winning Executive Resume Writer & Creator of The Reverse Recruitment Method™

I’m Arno Markus, Founder & CEO of iCareerSolutions and a multi-award-winning Certified Professional Resume Writer, LinkedIn Profile Writer, and Executive Job Search Strategist. I work with C‑suite, VP, Director, and high‑potential leaders who are ready to stop playing small, step into bigger roles, and finally have a career brand that matches the value they deliver.

 

Over the last several years, I’ve built iCareerSolutions into a multi-award-winning executive resume writing and reverse recruiting firm that helps leaders accelerate their job search with data-driven, ATS-optimized resumes, keyword-rich LinkedIn profiles, and professionally managed outreach campaigns. My focus is simple: help executives land better roles, faster, with stronger compensation and more strategic opportunities.

My background includes recruitment consulting in Helsinki, Amsterdam, and Toronto, where I saw first-hand how global employers evaluate talent and how hiring decisions are actually made behind the scenes. Today, I use that experience to reverse-engineer job descriptions, decode what companies truly need in a leader, and then position my clients as the obvious solution—on paper, on LinkedIn, and throughout the interview process.

I’m also the creator of The Reverse Recruitment Method™, our professionally managed executive job search program at iCareerSolutions. Instead of waiting and hoping a résumé “gets picked,” we proactively target organizations, map key decision-makers, and run a structured outreach process on behalf of our clients. This approach is designed to open doors to the hidden job market, where many of the best executive opportunities actually live.

My work has been recognized across the industry:
  • National ROAR Award – Experience Writer, Modern Design from the National Résumé Writers’ Association (my first major win in 2017).
  • Multiple awards and honorable mentions in Best Technology Resume, Best Executive Resume, and other categories.
  • Two TORI Awards from Career Directors International.
  • A total of 20+ industry awards and honorable mentions for resume writing and career marketing.
  • Service as an Awards Judge and a nomination to the Board of Directors of the National Résumé Writers’ Association.
These aren’t just nice trophies—they’re external proof that the systems, standards, and strategies we use at iCareerSolutions meet and exceed the highest benchmarks in our industry.
Executives typically come to me and iCareerSolutions when:
  • They’re not getting enough interviews for the level of roles they’re targeting, even though their achievements are strong.
  • Their résumé and LinkedIn profile undersell their scope, P&L responsibility, and leadership impact.
  • They’re ready to move into a bigger role (C‑suite, President, GM, Board) but don’t know how to reposition their brand.
  • They need a confidential, professionally managed job search instead of random online applications.
  • They sense their outdated résumé is costing them serious money and opportunity.

One of the first things I help clients uncover is how much their outdated résumé is costing them—in missed roles, lower offers, and longer searches. Then we rebuild their executive brand across résumé, LinkedIn, and a proactive reverse recruiting strategy to drive up to 100% more interview callbacks and significantly stronger traction with recruiters and hiring leaders.

My mission with iCareerSolutions is to give high-performing leaders the clarity, confidence, and positioning they need to land the roles—and compensation—they truly deserve, while making the entire job search feel more strategic, less stressful, and firmly under their control.
