How long does it take for HiCounselor fellows to land a position? How long will HiCounselor help me find a job?
It takes around 13 weeks to land a job. On average, our fellows network, apply for positions, interview, hear back and sign a final offer within 4 months, but we are willing to work with you for as long as you need to get hired, even if it takes longer. We will support you until you succeed. The maximum duration of our program is 12 months.
Of course! The HiCounselor program is completely personalized to your unique situation. We heavily modify the program to suit individual circumstances and never give you busywork. Instead, we invest that saved time into helping you with whichever part of the job seeking process you could use more help with.

W hen a suitable role is identified, we request our network to provide referrals. However, it is ultimately at the discretion of the company insider to refer the candidate.

If there is no direct connection at a particular company, we will guide you with proven strategies and techniques to secure a referral on your own. Please note, HiCounselor is not a passive program where candidates simply join and wait for referrals. Active participation and effort from the candidate are essential for success in the program.
