That’s where we come in

We’re committed to your success.

We’ll work closely with you to understand your career goals and showcase the skills, achievements and abilities that set you apart from the competition.

Most resumes read like job descriptions and they don’t tell your story and narrative that makes you unique. We highlight that, leveraging industry knowledge of what hiring managers want to see.

100% human-written

Every resume is individually researched and written by an experienced career coach. No templates, no AI-generated drafts.

Before and after

From job description to career story.

An illustrative example of how we rewrite a typical line for a senior compliance leader.

Before

  • Responsible for the compliance program.
  • Managed a team of analysts.
  • Worked with regulators on exams.

After

  • Spearhead the regulatory compliance program for a $2bn AUM SEC registered RIA, integral to guiding the firm through regulatory examinations, resulting in no to minimal findings.
  • Built a high-performing team of 4, with specialist remits across the firm's regulatory landscape, from core compliance to marketing and reporting activities.

Impact over tasks. Every line shows what changed because you were there.

Numbers that matter. Scope, scale and results a hiring manager can weigh.

Your narrative. A clear thread that shows where you are heading next.

Our recommendations

“My resume was getting stale and I was looking for input from someone with ample recruiting experience to help me bring my resume to the next level. The coaching sessions Tom and I worked on pushed me to think about my experience and achievements in great detail. We were able to either identify new items or refine existing items in my resume. I now have a resume that I am confident in! I would recommend Pinnacle to others based on the thoroughness and quality of the finished product.”
John — Head of Financial Crimes, Fintech
