Manoeuvre

Deeper Understanding. Better Alignment. Long-Term Growth.

I find hidden talent, and teach actionable strategies to professionals that get them hired.

Hiring Managers

Let’s find incredible.

I believe in a job done well. I leverage 16 years of recruitment contacts to source hidden candidates through referral and social sourcing.

I believe sustainable performance comes from the alignment of skill and will, when who we are aligns with what we do.

I don’t participate in CV races. I vet every candidate for both skill and will and submit people worthy of hiring.

My goal is to find someone who can solve your most difficult problems with ease.

Manoeuvre Sniper Pitch

The Manoeuvre Bio Builder

I have read millions of CVs. Most people either write too much or too little.

Too much writing buries your value and asks the reader to work hard to understand what you do.

Too little writing starves us of context leaving too much to the imagination. It ends up looking like meaningless numbers.

What we want is high quality signal at first glance, so we know what difficult problems you solve, so we can make a judgement call on whether you meet our criteria.

I created the Manoeuvre Bio Builder to help you craft your identity statements and proof stories.

I will also explain how to use these in a proactive direct marketing strategy designed to get you connections, coffees and high quality introductions.
