Introduction to Debra Feldman
JobWhiz - Executive Talent Agent
Forbes profiled Debra Feldman as “Career Matchmaker: Part Sleuth, Part
Networker.” Debra designs and builds new purposeful networks to
implement a highly effective go-to market job search strategy. For those
who want hands-on help with daily job search tasks beyond coaching,
Debra will job search for them. She devises a game-changing positioning
strategy for each client that immediately accelerates their job search by
penetrating the hidden job market. In addition to sourcing a new job now,
connections provide lifetime career insurance and increase a candidate’s ability
to control the hiring process. Unlike part-time recruiters, Debra doesn’t have
restrictive ties to employers and isn’t relying on her existing relationships. She
personally initiates meaningful conversations (always a competitive advantage)
between clients and individuals able to appreciate them. Contacts are selected
for their ability to advise, hire, refer and open doors to new career opportunities.
In today’s highly competitive environment, vigorously differentiating a
prospective employee’s potential value is essential to establish traction and
maintain momentum. For even the most challenging situations, Debra
invents distinctive positioning and eliminates roadblocks to attract
employers’ attention. Then she personally executes vigorous
networking-based campaigns that produce high quality, faster landings.
One of the keys to Debra’s success is making each client stand out as the
absolutely most credible go-to expert, a hiring manager’s first choice. Employers
frequently create a new role on the team for JobWhiz clients and volunteer
recommendations to their colleagues thereby exponentially expanding her
client’s direct access to potential job leads. Expert research, creative persistence
and outstanding marcomm skills ensure that results always meet every client’s
expectations. Clients choose companies that match their requirements. Debra
compiles the short list of target employers (including under the radar privately
held firms), determines the appropriate networking connections and develops
messaging that commands respect, is a call to action, and makes a positive first
impression. Debra is an ace researcher and analyst who converts
findings into her client’s remarkable and memorable competitive edge.
To prepare her captivating telephone introduction and the client for a one-on-one
meeting, Debra scopes the competitive landscape, explores the industry sector,
studies the specific firm, investigates the contact’s background, identifies current
challenges and recommends how the client should deliver their solutions. Then,
she picks up the phone and contacts the hiring authority (never HR) to schedule
a meeting for her client. Debra bypasses corporate gatekeepers,

penetrates complex automated systems, eliminates cold calling and
expedites inside connections that welcome her clients. A success rate
over 95% stems from Debra’s problem-solving finesse, skillful execution and the
unusual ability not only to anticipate, but also eliminate barriers to a swift,
smooth successful landing. Debra propels stalled campaigns and
accelerates new project launches.
Global clients seek positions in all industries, business functions, geographical
locations and corporate environments and come from diverse backgrounds. They
are VPs or C-level “A” players and know they want help. Many successful
executives have not had to develop job searching expertise because they have
not had to look for work; new jobs have found them. Others may be facing
difficulties because they are making a career change, re-entering the job market,
conducting a confidential search, too busy to network, lack appropriate contacts,
etc. Executives who are not “perfect” are usually ideal JobWhiz clients!
