Your next move,
handled.

A structured three-month career transition programme, extendable to six, for senior professionals. It combines private and group coaching, a done-for-you application service, a CV and LinkedIn overhaul, interview training, assessments, background checks and best-effort warm introductions. Unlike generic coaching, it is delivered by an entire recruitment-savvy team rather than a single coach.

Senior professionals — typically earning R1 million or more a year, or the equivalent in the UK — who are too time-poor or too senior to run an effective search themselves. It is not designed for junior or entry-level candidates, although the programme has worked well for a graduate before, so it is not a flat no, just not the standard case.

We live inside recruitment daily, so the programme is built on real market intelligence: who is genuinely hiring, what employers and AI screening tools actually look for, current salary benchmarks, and how background checks and assessments factor into offers. You also get a full team — strategist, recruiter, comms writer, background-check lead, interview coach — rather than one person switching hats.

Not necessarily, but you do need genuine openness to a move. Every candidate goes through a screening and readiness assessment before starting, based on market realism and placeability rather than any personal characteristic, so the fit works both ways.

Each month you have sessions with your coach and your strategy team, and the work happens behind the scenes once you have given us the go-ahead — you approve every step, so nothing goes out without your say. It is a mixture of discussion, strategy, submissions, branding fixes, profile creation, benchmarking and a good deal more. We walk you through the full month-by-month plan on your call.

Group sessions sit deliberately at each month's turning point. Hearing how other senior professionals are solving the same problems normalises the experience and surfaces practical tactics you would not get from 1:1 sessions alone. Clients consistently rate them as the surprise highlight.

Platinum clients can opt for a fully 1:1 format with group sessions treated as optional. On Essentials and Standard, group sessions are a core part of the programme.

Essentials gives you the full coaching and preparation stack with a lighter application volume of two per month. Standard increases applications to five per month and adds headhunter outreach, brand strategy and LinkedIn posting support. Platinum offers unlimited applications based on availability, an extra private session each month, warm introductions, strategic network mapping, mock interviews, and offer and compensation support.

Both. Paying upfront for the full three-month term typically works out more cost-effective than paying month to month.

Yes. You can move up a tier at any point and we simply prorate the difference for the remaining months.

Yes. The programme runs in South African rand and in pounds sterling, and the team spans five countries. Prices on this page switch to your region automatically, and you can change them yourself at any time using the region switch.

Common at senior level — moves of this seniority genuinely take longer. We discuss extending to six months, continuing exactly where month three left off rather than restarting the process. It is a checkpoint, not a failure state.

No. We guarantee activity and effort — coaching sessions delivered, a defined volume of applications submitted, and best-effort introductions where a genuine match exists — not a placement outcome. That protects both of us from over-promising on something dependent on market conditions and your own decisions. We can't do the interviews for you, much as we'd like to, so it is up to you to put your best foot forward once we've shown you off.

No, they are best-effort. We only make an introduction where there is a genuine, appropriate match, drawn from the team's personal networks rather than Job Crystal's own client book. That protects the quality and credibility of every introduction we make. That said, the group sessions alone have turned into a mountain of contacts.
