"With Relentless, I wasn’t job searching alone—I had a team expanding my reach and uncovering opportunities I didn’t even know existed."

Coming from a senior marketing background in software and startups, this whole experience was new to me—I honestly didn’t even know services like Relentless existed.

I’ve always relied on my network, and typically I’ve never had issues landing a job. I was laid off in August, and I figured by the end of September I’d be re-employed—I was already in conversations. But that didn’t happen. As strong as your network is, sometimes it just isn’t enough.

What stood out about Relentless was how they extended my reach. I’m just one person trying to job hunt, and it’s frustrating. But with Relentless, it felt like I had a team helping me look across multiple channels—including places I didn’t even know to look.

In high-tech and startup spaces, there are so many hidden job sources beyond LinkedIn. Relentless helped uncover those opportunities. They followed up, stayed on top of everything, and gave me much more visibility than I could have generated on my own.

Looking back, I absolutely would have brought them in sooner. There was definitely some ego involved—I thought, “This doesn’t happen to me. I’ll find something quickly.” But the truth is, being laid off can be isolating, and it’s easy to underestimate how long it might take to land the next role.

If you’re in that position, talk to Relentless right away. Don’t wait. They help you build a strategy from day one—and that can make all the difference.
