In most aspects of their lives, $100K+ earners have come to expect a higher standard of service. But when it comes to finding high-paying jobs online, senior-level professionals have had little choice but to scour the Web’s millions of job listings like everyone else. That is, until now.
Bridging the gap between traditional job boards and the personal attention of a career coach, RiseSmart – a new subscription-based site for $100K+ professionals – assigns each member an expert “Job Concierge” who is responsible for matching member profiles with the most relevant job openings. It’s the first high-end job site truly worthy of the high-end job seeker.
The High-End Job Site That $100K+ Earners Deserve
“Finding the right six-figure job opportunity among the millions of listings online is like searching for a needle in a haystack,” says Sanjay Sathe, RiseSmart founder and CEO. “Most $100K+ earners are too busy to spend countless hours visiting different job boards and poring through the many often-irrelevant positions returned in a typical automated search.”
Other $100K+ job sites, Sathe adds, offer only half-measures to address this problem.
“Other sites claim to have ‘exclusive’ databases that make searching for $100K+ jobs easier. While this may sound impressive, the reality is that these databases exclude many high-paying jobs their members would want to know about,” Sathe says. “And they still require subscribers to sort manually through automated search results.”
