FAQ

Common questions before your first free consultation.

Is using a career agent free?

Consultations and introductions are typically free for candidates. Agents usually charge employers. Always confirm on the official site.

Why specialized agents?

Roles and interviews differ by industry. Specialists often match better. If your direction is broad, combine with a general agent.

How many agents should I use?

Usually 2–3: one or two specialists plus one counseling-oriented service. You can pause politely anytime.

How is this site researched?

We synthesize public service information and editorial notes. Openings change—verify in free consults and official pages.

Do you include advertising (PR) links?

Yes. Some links are advertising (PR). We may earn a commission; you typically do not pay extra because of tracking.

Do you guarantee offers or raises?

No. Outcomes depend on your profile and the market. We provide comparison material only.

Do you cover credit cards too?

Yes — we compare cards by fee, rewards, brand, and fit. Apply on issuer sites; approval is their decision.

Do card fees and rewards change?

Yes. Campaigns and terms change—always verify on the issuer’s official site.

Unsure? Try two specialists
