Most applications disappear into a stack of thousands.

Recruiters who own the search work differently. When they put your name forward, it goes straight to the person making the hire.

Andy Nikam recruits nationwide for early-stage, well-funded companies backed by investors like Nvidia and Palantir. He is also a GHN alumnus, so he has sat where you are sitting.

Andy Nikam is live with us in two hours, covering the roles he is filling right now, how to get on his regular shortlist, and what he looks for before sending a name to a hiring manager.

Meet the Recruiter: Andy Nikam, Recruiter at Paraform
Today, 10:00 to 11:00 AM PT, online

Stop applying into the noise. Start getting introduced.

Two candidates walk into the same interview.

Both have the title, the tenure, the track record. One spends the hour proving they are qualified. The other spends it asking about the business, then explains how they would fix what they heard.

Only one of them gets the offer. It is rarely the one with the better resume.

Brandon Bourgoin has been on the other side of that table since 2017, including a stint recruiting at Amazon. He now places executives at TalentReach in Seattle, and he has watched this pattern repeat often enough to name it plainly.

At this level, competence is table stakes. Founders and boards are not hiring the most qualified person in the room. They are hiring the one who already understands the problem.

He is joining us to break down how to make that shift deliberately:

→ Moving the conversation from functional expertise to strategic impact, revenue, and risk
→ What founders and boards actually screen for when hiring senior leaders
→ Using AI to surface the operational bottlenecks nobody advertises, and walk in with a 30/60/90 already sketched

Brandon normally has this conversation one executive at a time. This one is open to the room.

Seats are limited. Register today!

Labor Day marks the work. Not just the job title, but the teams built, the problems solved, the people you brought along.

Whatever your current chapter looks like, that record is yours.

And if you are mid-search, take the weekend anyway. The job boards will still be there Tuesday. Rest is part of running a long search well.

Enjoy the long weekend!

At the senior level, LinkedIn is not a resume placeholder.

It is where your positioning either opens doors or closes them before you ever get a conversation.

This episode covers the algorithm, the profile architecture, and the content strategy that generates inbound — without requiring you to post every day.

Today is the day.

Cass Shea is live at 10:00 a.m. PT. One hour, four questions, asked live.

One leader she worked with was spending 10 percent of his time on anything that could actually scale the company. The other 90 percent was real work. Important work. Just not work that only he could do.

He could not see it. Nobody can, from the inside.

Everyone walks in ready to talk about their team. That is not what happens.

Grab a pen before you join. The hour ends with one thing written down, and it hits differently on paper.

You can spot the capacity leak on your team in about ten minutes.

You have never once turned that eye on yourself.

That is the hour. The Identity Flip, live with Cassandra Shea, MBA, founder of GSCG. Four questions asked in the room. No slides to hide behind, no team to diagnose instead of yourself.

The room is capped. Hot seat coaching only works when Cass can see everyone in it, so we are keeping it small on purpose.

Monday, August 24, 10:00 to 11:00 AM PT.

Register today. Link in comments.

Steven Wilson holds four Claude credentials: Associate Foundations, Architect Foundations, Architect Professional, and the Claude Certified Partner Badge. He earned all four as an independent consultant through GHN Career Academy's standing as a Registered Partner in the Claude Partner Network.

In two hours, he is walking through how the path actually works.

Where to start, since the four credentials measure different competencies and do not simply stack in order. What each one covers. Where candidates typically get stuck. Members who have already sat the exams will be in the room too, so you get the honest version of what went smoothly and what did not.

One thing he says about his own preparation is worth arriving with: he started studying long before he was ready to sit an exam, and that turned out to be the right order.

Today, 10:00 am PT. Free to join.

Back to school! 🎓

One of our members is now Head of Enterprise Transformation at a Top 20 University. They left corporate behind and are taking their career in the direction they mapped out when we first met.

Congratulations are in order!

That's what happens when your positioning reflects where you're going, your network opens doors you didn't know existed, and you walk into every conversation ready to own the room.

That's the CareerOS™ system working.

A CTO walked into our AI Fluency Lab session.

20 years of building technology for clients. His own brand? The lowest priority.

By the end of the session our CEO Ron Nash looked at his portfolio and said: "I had no idea you did all of this stuff, man."

That is what happens when you finally build something that communicates everything you have been doing but never had a way to show.

One session. Built with AI. Owned by you.

The GHN AI Fluency Lab is live. Founding rate is still open.

This is what we mean when we say build with AI, not just talk about it.

Mike Jones has 29 years of building systems that ship. Xbox. Kinect. Six AAA game launches. A patent from the original Xbox SDK. $12M+ in budgets managed. Teams of 120+.

And instead of a resume, he has a site.

A live portfolio at a real URL that communicates all of it before anyone picks up the phone. Built using the exact methodology he teaches in the GHN AI Fluency Lab.

Take a look: mikejones.online

This is what Session 1 produces for you. Your story. Your work. Your URL.

And this is just the beginning. Every month builds on the last — new projects, new skills, a process that compounds the longer you stay.

GHN AI Fluency Lab starts August 5. $97/month founding rate.
