Tired of being ignored? This system gets you seen by IT services employers.
This system gets you noticed by IT services employers and recruiters
88% of jobseekers feel their job applications are often ignored (Robert Walters).
It’s not personal - just a hiring system under pressure.
JobHunter is the system for IT services professionals to prepare, position and present themselves as stand-out candidates, so they get results, not silence.
Today:
apply → wait → silence → repeat
Tomorrow:
proposition → position → present → results
Build your complete Value Proposition: your "why me" case that recruiters and employers actually want.

Today, recruiters and employers routinely receive hundreds of applicants per role.
It's not possible to review all applications and most never get a chance.
But there's still opportunity, through intentional, structured engagement with recruiters and employers.
Recruiters and hiring managers prioritise candidates who are easy to assess, easy to advocate for, and low risk to hire.
Here's what that process looks like.
(What most candidates skip)
1️⃣Your real value to employers is clear
2️⃣Your experience is translated into outcomes
3️⃣Your evidence-based VP is clear
(Where most candidates fail)
1️⃣Your relevance and credibility is clear
2️⃣You're seen as low risk, high value
3️⃣You're distinct from other candidates
(Where most candidates struggle)
1️⃣You interview with clarity and credibility
2️⃣Your evidence-based stories land convincingly
3️⃣You're prepared for awkward questions

Doug Baxter, Founder, Consultant Academy
I help IT services professionals secure new roles and promotions.
Over my 15 years' experience in senior consulting and pre-sales roles at prominent IT services companies, I saw technically strong people struggle with explaining value, positioning solutions, leading discussion and influencing decisions.
These capabilities are essential for IT services whether you're in sales or delivery but generally aren't taught by employers.
Consultant Academy exists to close that gap.
Your success is my success - nothing else matters
➡️ Is JobHunter right for me?
JobHunter is for experienced IT services professionals targeting consulting, SI, or MSP roles who are struggling to convert applications into interviews. It is not for entry-level roles, mass job applications, or people looking for resume tweaks.
➡️ Am I guaranteed to get offers and interviews?
No. Only employers can make those decisions. What JobHunter does is change how you are seen and assessed, increasing visibility, interest, and meaningful engagement. Those are the conditions that lead to interviews and offers.
Bottom line: your success is my success - nothing else matters
➡️ What makes JobHunter "specific for IT services professionals"?
Everything I do is from the perspective of IT services employers, to give our candidates a real edge. Think of it this way: if an employer is choosing from a list of equal candidates, but one of them has a solid understand of how IT services work, what's expected of them and how they should operate, they'll choose that one.
➡️ What level of experience do I need?
You need practical experience in IT services (projects, consulting, managed services, or hybrid roles). You do not need to be senior, but you do need actual experience you can evidence.
➡️ How much time does it take each week?
Most participants spend 5–8 hours per week. This includes guided work, reviews, and implementation. The programme is designed to fit around a full-time job.
➡️ What happens each week?
The Accelerated programme follows a six-week structure:
Stage 1: Proposition (creating a compelling view your value clarity, value proposition, stories, positioning)
Stage 2: Position (visibility, recruiter engagement, outreach)
Stage 3: Present (resume alignment, interview readiness)
The stages overlap - you'll be learning, building and applying as you progress
Each week includes structured guidance, practical outputs, and review
Self-paced online course provides the same structure and material
1-1 Fast Track follows the same structure and material to a schedule that suits you
➡️ Is this just about LinkedIn?
No. LinkedIn is one channel. JobHunter covers the full hiring process: value proposition, positioning, recruiter engagement, outreach, resume alignment, and interview readiness.
➡️ What results should I expect during the programme?
You should expect clearer positioning, stronger recruiter engagement, and measurable progression through the hiring process (responses, conversations, interviews). Outcomes depend on market conditions and participation.
➡️ How much support do I actually get?
All clients receive timely asynchronous support via email and LinkedIn group / DM.
Group Accelerator clients also receive weekly guided sessions and structured reviews.
1-1 Fast Track clients also receive direct phone support during business hours (GMT +10).
➡️ What if it’s not right for me?
Self-paced: Full refund within 7 days of purchase.
Group Accelerator: Full refund up to 48 hours before the cohort start date. No refunds once the programme has started.
1-1 Fast Track: Sessions may be rescheduled with 24 hours’ notice. No refunds after the first session.
➡️ What happens when the programme ends?
You retain access to all materials.
You keep your value proposition, stories, templates, and positioning assets.
You can continue applying the JobHunter system independently.
Optional follow-up support may be available for future cohorts.
➡️ What if it takes longer than six weeks to get interviews?
The six weeks build the system and positioning. Hiring timelines vary. You leave with a repeatable process you can continue using beyond the programme.
➡️ Do you introduce me to recruiters or employers?
No. JobHunter does not sell access, introductions, or advocacy. It equips you to engage recruiters and employers effectively yourself.
➡️ Can I switch tiers?
Yes. You can upgrade from Self-paced to Group Accelerator or 1-1 Fast Track if places are available.
➡️ Do you work with candidates anywhere in the world?
Self-paced candidates can work in any world region and receive timely asynchronous support via email or LinkedIn.
Group Accelerated: sessions are arranged to suit the overall group and regional group sessions can be arranged subject to numbers and time zone overlap
1-1 Fast Track: sessions are scheduled to be mutually acceptable.
➡️ How does JobHunter differ from other programmes?
JobHunter is a structured, end-to-end system built around how IT services hiring actually works:
– Prepare: clarify your value proposition, evidence, and stories
– Position: make your relevance visible to recruiters and employers
– Present: perform credibly in resumes and interviews
Where other programmes focus on confidence, motivation, or isolated tactics, JobHunter focuses on mechanism, positioning, and hiring-system leverage for IT services professionals.
