Good Fit Careers

I help people achieve their career goals, navigate complex hiring processes, and make the most of their career transitions. In short, I help people tell their stories then find and land jobs that are a good fit for them.

With the skills and experiences I gained as a headhunter and executive recruiter hiring for companies large and small, I have an informed perspective on what goes into an effective resume, interview, and job search strategy.

I made my first hires as the founder of a college startup. Several years later I ventured into the world of recruiting so I could learn how to hire more effectively. For nearly a decade, companies hired me to hire well on their behalf or to help them build systems and processes to hire more effectively as an enterprise.

With Korn Ferry (NYSE: KFY), as a member of the Global Technology Officer's practice, I hired C-Level Executives for some of the most prominent companies in the world in a retained exclusive executive search format. 

With Cardlytics (NASDAQ: CDLX), I had the opportunity to design a comprehensive hiring process, configure and implement the enterprise applicant tracking system (ATS), and hire the global Chief Technology Officer. After helping to prepare the enterprise to hire at scale, the company executed a successful IPO.

After Cardlytics, I served as General Manager of the Austin division of a headhunting firm where I trained, developed, and provided leadership to a team of 18 technical recruiters who hired for companies like Bloomberg, HBO, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Hulu, and ByteDance.

Helping Executives Land Opportunities That Fit | Executive Career Coaching | Interview Coach | Former Executive Recruiter

Changing jobs after several years with the same company can be confusing, frustrating, and painful. 

Good Fit Careers guides you through the hiring process to help you find and land a job that you love.

Hi, I’m Ryan 👋

After 8 years in Retained Executive Search, in-house Talent Acquisition, and Contingent Recruiting General Management, I started coaching. 

This recruiting experience helped me understand how to build an effective resume, search for a job efficiently, deliver outstanding interviews, and negotiate reasonable compensation packages.

With Korn Ferry (NYSE: KFY), I hired C-level executives for some of the world's most prominent companies. 

With Cardlytics (NASDAQ: CDLX), I had the opportunity to design a comprehensive hiring process, configure and implement the enterprise applicant tracking system (ATS), and hire the global Chief Technology Officer. After helping to prepare the enterprise to hire at scale, the company executed a successful IPO.

After Cardlytics, I served as General Manager of the Austin division of a headhunting firm where I trained, developed, and provided leadership to a team of 18 technical recruiters who hired for companies like Bloomberg, HBO, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Hulu, and ByteDance.

While working in each of those roles, I saw executives struggling to transition out of companies for which they were no longer a good fit. 

I saw the frustration, confusion, and uncertainty they faced – even when they were exceptionally qualified and highly experienced.

So, I decided that I would try to help. 

In 2019, I switched sides and started my executive coaching practice. The Good Fit Formula is a blueprint for professionals ready to make a change in their professional lives.
