Show Notes: Sarah Pomeranz, founder of Consultants for Impact, provides an overview of the organization. Sarah explains that Consultants for Impact was born out of her own struggle as an early-career consultant at Accenture during the COVID-19 pandemic. She felt a dissonance between the problems she solved at work and broader societal issues, leading her to explore how her skill set could address global challenges like pandemics, climate crises, and democracy preservation. Sarah took a one-year leave of absence from Accenture to explore opportunities for high-impact work and decided to help other consultants build careers in the public interest. What Consultants for Impact Does The organization offers a peer-to-peer advising approach and matches former corporate consultants with social impact roles. They provide resources like career check-in templates and Career Conversations to help consultants identify their core values and find impactful roles. The process involves self-paced reflection prompts, one-on-one conversations with an advisor, and access to a network of consultants and high-impact organizations. The Advising Process Sarah describes the first step in the process: applying for a Career Conversation on their website. Applicants are matched with advisors, who are all former consultants, and are given curated resources based on their interests and background. The Career Conversation involves reflection prompts on values, problem areas, and previous roles, followed by a one-on-one discussion to address uncertainties and challenges. Participants join the Consultants for Impact community, gaining access to opportunities, events, and resources. Career Guidance for Consultants Sarah explains that the career guidance is personalized, depending on the individual's starting point and career goals. She uses the example of an independent consultant curious about impact to illustrate the process, emphasizing the importance of career as a tool for making the world better. The organization encourages consultants to think critically about where their skills can have the most impact, using the SELF framework (Significance, Efficacy, Leverage, Fit) to evaluate opportunities. The goal is to find roles that offer high impact, credible interventions, and opportunities for outsized effect. Job Search in the Impact Sector Sarah emphasizes the importance of thinking critically about problem areas and interventions, rather than just focusing on personal interests. She discusses the concept of Value Over Replacement Player (VORP) to highlight the importance of choosing roles where you provide more value than the next-best candidate.. The organization encourages consultants to consider unusual organizations and problem areas where their skills can have a significant impact. Roles for Consultants Sarah outlines various roles that consultants can transition into, including entrepreneurship, chief of staff roles, policy positions, product management, and grantmaking. She provides examples of successful transitions and the range of compensation levels, from bare-bones salaries to high six-figure earnings. The discussion includes the trade-offs between income and impact, with Sarah sharing her own experience of sacrificing future income increases for a more meaningful career. The organization helps consultants navigate these trade-offs and find roles that align with their non-negotiable values. Applying to the Impact Sector The conversation turns to preparing resumes and LinkedIn profiles for the impact sector. Sarah advises being thoughtful about solving core problems for resource-constrained clients and avoiding a salesy approach. She emphasizes the importance of demonstrating impact with metrics and specific examples. The organization coaches consultants on how to portray their experience in a way that builds trust and credibility in the impact sector. Building Relationships with NonProfits Sarah discusses how Consultants for Impact has built relationships with nonprofits and foundations around the world and created a reputation for providing high-quality referrals. Early efforts focused on building personal relationships and attending conferences in relevant cause areas. The organization now receives more referrals than they can handle, thanks to their reputation for curating top candidates. They also partner with other ecosystems like Umbrex to reach more consultants and build awareness of their services. Evaluating the Impact of Nonprofits Sarah advises evaluating the impact of nonprofits by focusing on the significance of the problem they address and the neglected nature of the issue. She recommends looking for organizations with external evaluators and focusing on real impact metrics rather than vanity metrics. Consultants for Impact works with third-party evaluators and foundations to assess the efficacy of nonprofits and ensure they are having a significant impact. They also provide resources and recommendations for high-impact organizations, helping consultants make informed decisions about their career paths. Promotion of Services Sarah explains how Consultants for Impact promotes their services through ads on LinkedIn, Meta, and Reddit, targeting consultants who are interested in self-discovery and career change. They also participate in workshops and events to raise awareness and connect with potential clients. The organization is committed to finding product-market fit and continuously improving their services based on feedback and referrals. Sarah invites listeners to visit their website and attend upcoming workshops to learn more about their offerings and connect with the community.

In this episode, Dr. Joseph Brennan returns to the podcast to talk about heart-first leadership and what empathy looks like in action in higher education workplaces. Inspired by his article, “How To Be the Leader Everyone Actually Wants To Work For,” he shares several ways leaders can support overwhelmed teams and build psychological safety on campus. The conversation introduces the LASER method as a framework for listening to, acknowledging, and following up on concerns, offering higher ed professionals realistic strategies for improving morale, retention, and day-to-day team culture.
This week, the gang dives into the corporate chaos defining the start of 2026. The crew pulls no punches on the Workday leadership shakeup, questioning the optics of massive layoffs paired with multimillion-dollar executive payouts as a co-founder returns to the helm for the fourth time. While the market panic over AI monetization sends SaaS stocks tumbling, the hosts dissect whether we're seeing a true tech revolution or just a "knee-jerk" reaction to the high costs of artificial intelligence. The conversation shifts to the "digital battlefield" of job searching, where Indeed's new ChatGPT integration is met with heavy skepticism—framed less as a game-changer and more as a "lazy" attempt to capture upstream traffic. Beyond the apps, a legal storm is brewing as Eightfold AI and Workday face high-stakes lawsuits over "black-box" screening tools, with plaintiffs arguing these algorithms should be regulated like credit scores. From France's aggressive move to ditch US tech like Zoom and Teams in favor of digital sovereignty to a sobering look at how wealth disparity and narrative manipulation keep the masses distracted, this episode is a raw, unfiltered deep dive into the crumbling status quo of HR and global tech.

Hiring managers don't remember resumes - they remember storiesIn this episode of Top of the Pile, Karen sits down with storytelling expert and narrative strategist Aaron Calafato to talk about why storytelling isn't just a “nice to have” skill - it's essential to standing out in today's job market.Aaron has helped brands like Indeed, Glassdoor, and Palo Alto Networks build trust through story-driven content, and he brings those same principles into the job search and interview process. Aaron is the creator and host of the award-winning 7 Minute Stories podcast, which has reached over 30 million listeners, and the co-creator and co-host of Glassdoor's The Lonely Office. He also serves as an audio growth strategist for State of Mind, one of Apple's leading mental health podcasts.Together, we break down the difference between simply having conversations versus telling intentional stories, and why most job seekers struggle to clearly communicate their value.We dive into the idea of storycatching — paying attention to your own experiences as they happen — and how self-reflection and self-awareness can help you build short, compelling stories that resonate in interviews and networking conversations. Aaron also explains what a throughline is, why it matters, and how understanding both your own story and a company's mission can dramatically improve how you show up in interviews.If you're a college student, recent grad, or early-career professional trying to articulate your strengths, pivot careers, or feel more confident talking about your experience, this episode will give you practical tools to tell better stories — and get remembered for them.LAUNCH Career Strategies was founded by Karen Elders and Elyse Spalding.

In an industry built on speed, what actually sustains long-term success. In this Industry Spotlight, Kortney Harmon sits down with Elizabeth Rosenberg to examine why trust and reputation remain recruiting's most durable advantage.Drawing on decades of experience advising executives on communication and personal brand, Elizabeth offers a grounded perspective on how credibility is built through everyday behavior. The conversation explores where transactional habits quietly undermine relationships, why visibility without intention can weaken trust, and how recruiters shape their reputations long before deals are closed. Rather than focusing on tactics, this discussion reframes personal brand as a reflection of consistency, judgment, and how leaders show up when it matters most.The conversation reveals why lasting relationships—not speed alone—define long-term success, and how investing in trust and authenticity shapes both stronger firms and more durable careers.______________________Follow Elizabeth Rosenberg on Linked: LinkedIn | ElizabethCheck out her website hereFollow Crelate on LinkedIn: CrelateWant to learn more about Crelate?

What if the reason your job search isn't working has nothing to do with your experience and everything to do with how you're showing up? In this episode, I sit back down with Zach Sanford to unpack a powerful shift most Customer Success professionals completely overlook… treating your job search like a CS role.We break down exactly how to demonstrate your CSM skills at every stage of the process—from discovery-driven interviews and stakeholder management, to value-based storytelling, strategic outreach, and even negotiation. You'll hear tangible examples of what “walking the walk” actually sounds like in interviews, how to tier your job search like a book of business, and why small moments of delight (like thank-you notes) can make or break an offer. This is less about saying you're a great CSM and more about proving it in real time.By the end, you'll walk away with a clearer strategy, more confidence, and a completely different way to approach your job search—one that de-risks you as a candidate and positions you as the safest hire in the room. If you're ready to stop applying harder and start showing up smarter, hit play and let's dive in.0:46 – Why Customer Success Skills Give You a Unique Edge in the Job Search2:26 – How “Being a CSM” During Your Job Search Proves You Can Do the Job3:21 – Demonstrating (Not Just Talking About) Your CS Skills in Interviews5:26 – What “De-risking” Yourself for Hiring Managers Looks Like8:08 – Managing Your Job Search Like a CSM Manages a Book of Business13:01 – Leveling Up Your Interview Game with Context, Curiosity, and Tying Insights Together20:55 – Why Deep Research and Tailored Outreach Set CSMs Apart21:47 – The Power of Negotiation and Value Selling in CS Job Offers27:16 – How Small Gestures (Like Thank You Notes) Can Get You Hired30:21 – Why Being Intentional Wins In CS Job SearchFREEBIES & RESOURCES:

David Hughes, the Global People Leader for Costa Coffee (now at HSBC), discusses the company's innovative approach to hiring using AI. Costa Coffee, a global brand with over 2,000 stores in the UK, faces significant hiring challenges due to high turnover rates and the need to hire thousands of baristas annually. David explains how Costa has shifted its focus from hiring the “best” talent to finding the “best fit” talent that aligns with the company's values and culture. Using Sapia's AI chat-based assessment, Costa has built a simple 5-question open chat survey that lets Costa identify the culture, behavioral, and work skills for best fit. This process not only scales to 350,000+ candidates, it also gives each candidate a personalized assessment and is rated 9 out of 10 on netpromoter score. In other words, candidates love it!

The Uncommon Career Podcast: Career Change Strategies for Mid- to Senior-level Professionals
If the job market feels unfamiliar to you right now, you're right on the dot – and that's not a bad thing. Today's conversation unpacks the fundamental shift happening beneath the surface of hiring and what it means for how professionals need to show up going forward. We'll pull back the curtain on how recruiting technology, artificial intelligence, and human decision-making are converging to change what actually gets noticed. More importantly, this episode reframes the moment you're in. When the market shifts, opportunity opens first for those who understand the change early. This is about learning how to position yourself clearly, intentionally, and strategically so you're ready to catch the wave before it becomes obvious to everyone else. You'll learn: ✔ Why today's job market feels so different than it did just a few years ago ✔ How AI is changing what hiring systems look for beyond keywords ✔ What “clarity” really means in the modern job search ✔ Why consistency across your resume, LinkedIn, and story now matters more than ever ✔ How a clear personal brand becomes a new form of career currency ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

This episode brought to you by: Job Search 3.0 and The Recruiting Life newsletter. Links below. ... You walk into your review prepared to discuss your metrics. But there's a new name on the dashboard. It's not a peer. It's not a hire. It's an AI recruiting agent—with a title, a scorecard, and a seat on the org chart next to yours. The moment your KPIs are placed side-by-side, everything changes. This isn't about working smarter with AI. This is about being measured against it—on speed, cost, reply rates, and conversion. While you sleep, it works. While you train, it self-optimizes. While you build relationships, it delivers numbers that make finance lean in. If your value was once defined by hustle, insight, and human touch—what happens when the system does it faster, cheaper, and without fatigue? Worse: what happens when your next career move depends on outscoring a tool that never stops improving? This episode isn't speculation. It's a wake-up call built on data, deployments, and the uncomfortable math already reshaping TA teams. We break down the comparison you won't see coming—and what it means for your role, your team, and your future in talent. If you lead recruitment, manage talent, or care about where HR is headed—you need to hear this now. ... For deeper insights, follow The Recruiting Life newsletter at JimStroud.com.

The Uncommon Career Podcast: Career Change Strategies for Mid- to Senior-level Professionals
If the job search keeps dragging on because things never feel quite “ready,” this episode puts a name to what's happening; perfectionism. Today's conversation breaks down how perfectionism quietly stalls momentum by pulling attention into small details while the bigger goal slips further away. We'll walk through the cycle perfectionism creates, how it shows up in resumes, interviews, and decision-making, and why it feels productive—even when it's not. More importantly, this episode helps you identify where perfectionism is coming from and what kind of shift actually gets you moving again. The goal isn't to do things perfectly, but to act decisively, preserve energy, and focus on what truly drives results. You'll learn: ✔ The perfectionism cycle that quietly kills job-search momentum ✔ How to recognize when “refining” turns into avoidance ✔ The three different scenarios perfectionism usually falls into ✔ Why decisiveness creates clarity faster than over-research ✔ How to choose the right support to break the cycle and move forward ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

Are you exhausted from applying to 300+ jobs with nothing to show for it? In this video, I expose the three sneaky reasons why smart people work hard but don't get hired—and what to do instead.I share the story of my client Cathy, who spent eight months "doing everything right" but couldn't answer one critical question that revealed why she was stuck. You'll discover why easy-apply submissions are literally like running on a treadmill (you're tired but not moving), the uncomfortable truth about what actually counts as progress, and the drama trap that's quietly stealing your focus from what would actually get you hired.Learn the three questions you must ask yourself after every interview to extract the data from failure, why most people avoid this work (even though it's what creates breakthroughs), and how to stop tricking your brain into thinking you're being productive when you're not. If you've been wondering "what am I doing wrong?" but don't have clear theories yet, this video will change everything.Grab the free guide, "8 Reasons Smart People Land Interviews But No Offers": https://www.asknataliefisher.com/8-ReasonsGet full show notes and more information here: https://www.asknataliefisher.com/episode-262
