The job search success fee is 10%-15% of the base salary plus any signing bonuses.  Other projected bonuses, profit sharing, commissions or equity are not included in the fee calculation.  We have multiple payment options including agreeing to pay the entire fee within 2 months after the start of a new position or utilizing our 6-, 12, or 24-month payment options.

No, we are not recruiters. We do not charge the company a fee. You are our client and are responsible for our fees.  If we do not secure you a position during the 4-month engagement, there are no fees paid.

Yes, after reviewing all the job search documents you send, along with our discussions, we will mutually agree where the focus should be. We DO NOT customize each resume for each application. We find roles that match your background, not try to reshape your background based upon an individual position.

Yes, we can prioritize the job search by states, cities, industries, etc., according to your job search geographic preferences including onsite, hybrid, or remote.

You will have access to all positions applied to, links to the job descriptions, company names, and the dates we applied. This information will be contained within a Google doc that you will have access to in real time.

We have had clients get interviews and job offers within 30 days, while others can take 4 -6 months. We average between 75 to 100 interviews per month for our clients

We take confidentiality very seriously. All information related to your job search is kept strictly confidential (privacy policy) and is only shared with potential employers with your explicit consent. If you need to keep your job search confidential from your current employer, we will take additional steps to make sure this does not happen.

Finding a new job means you accepting and starting a new job, not just getting an offer.  Our fees are only paid, only after our clients start a new position.

Yes, the success fee is a one-time 10% fee based on the annual base salary and any signing bonuses.

Eventually, yes. It’s not necessary to begin, but probably in a few weeks when we are close to completing everything. We recommend creating a brand-new Gmail address for your job search. It is best not to combine your job search email with your personal email because you will be getting a great deal of mail.  We would need to know the password to access this new address so we can confirm job board account activations after they are created. If we will be managing your search after everything is completed, we would need access to this account on a daily basis.  If we do not manage the search going forward, you can change the PWs when Phase 1 of the job search coaching is completed.

If you find your own job within the 4 months, the success fee still applies unless the opportunity is listed in the exclusions section of the contract at time of signing. After execution of this agreement by you and for the 4-month period, while engaged with Global Expansion (d.b.a. JobSearchCoaching.net) during the contract period, any New Employment accepted by you regardless of the source, will be subject to the Success Fee except as stated in the "Success Fee Exclusions" clause of our agreement. For purposes of our agreement, New Employment shall mean the acceptance by you of any new position with any employer, regardless of the source of such position or employment opportunity or the manner in which such opportunity was introduced to or found by you. The acceptance of a position and determination of targeted searches, locations, roles and companies are at your sole discretion.

We take the handling on Non-Payment very seriously. In the event of non-payment, we will give notice to the client, who will have ten days to pay the outstanding fee. If the fee is not paid within this period, interest will begin accumulating at a rate of 2% per month on the outstanding balance. If Client fails to pay any amount when due, or if Global Expansion Inc. retains an attorney to protect its interests under this Agreement, Client shall pay any and all costs and expenses incurred Global Expansion, Inc. in enforcing any terms of, or collecting any monies due under this Agreement including reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs or collection fees and any other expenses. This is why we have implemented 6, 12, and 24-month payment options.

Unless the opportunity is listed in the exclusions section of the contract, all positions, regardless of the source, require our fee to be paid during the 4 month duration of our contract.

At the end of the contract period, if client of Global Expansion decides not to renew the agreement, Success Fees will STILL be payable for any New Employment during a period of 30 days after contract expiration for applications and interviews still in process.

Acceptance of New Employment that is the direct result of specific applications, discussions and interviews in progress for the specific positions and specific potential employer identified below under “Current Exclusions” at the time of execution of this agreement will be excluded from the Success Fee provided the name of the employer, title of position, and name of contact with contact information at the employer is stated below, along with the status of your candidacy If not so stated in this agreement, all Success Fees will be due in full as provided herein.
