  • Reach the person who decides, before the job is advertised.
  • Get known for what you do best, without being an extrovert.

  • Negotiate the offer, so you start on the right pay.
Grant Kratz

Written by a hiring manager, not a recruiter.

Grant Kratz has spent thirty years leading teams at IBM and beyond, on the side of the table where the decision is made, and every job he has had but one came through someone he knew. He is not an extrovert, and the method does not ask you to be one.

Who it’s for

Mid to late career professionals, from manager to the C-suite, who have done everything they were told and are tired of hearing nothing back.

More conversations. More interviews. Hired sooner.

Read the method, then let FutureDay run it with you every day.
