Whether you are considering a career move or navigating an unexpected transition, knowing where to begin can be difficult. Tartan Group, LLC brings structure, practical tools, and personal coaching support to help you move forward with direction.
Our approach draws on years of experience inside organizations and in executive search. We understand how employers evaluate candidates, what hiring decision-makers need to learn, and how relationships develop into opportunities.
Preparation gives effort direction.
A productive search begins with a clear target. Before working on your resume, we help you clarify what you want to do, where you can contribute, and the conditions in which you can succeed.
It can feel comfortable following the herd. Our approach encourages you to hunt like a cheetah, with preparation, patience, and targeted focus. You develop a purposeful plan for finding opportunities and building relationships with the people connected to them.
A structured process. Personal support.
Through Tartan Group Transitions, we help you:
Clarify your target. Define the roles, organizations, and working environments that align with your capabilities and goals.
Communicate your value. Prepare your resume, introduction, and examples that demonstrate how you can contribute.
Build meaningful relationships. Identify people to connect with and prepare for productive networking conversations.
Prepare for interviews and conversations. Explain your experience clearly, ask thoughtful questions, and prepare your references.
Evaluate opportunities. Consider the work, leadership, culture, expectations, and mutual FIT as you assess a potential offer.
Begin your next role with intention. Prepare for onboarding with attention to relationships, organizational understanding, expectations, and early contribution.
Our Career Transition Partnership Program combines structured learning, practical exercises, and one-on-one coaching support. Together, we translate what you learn into action, address obstacles, and adjust your plan as your search progresses.
The thinking behind the program
The program is built on concepts and tools developed for Gerry Peterson's book, Job Search: How to Hunt: A Structured Guide from an Executive Recruiter to Help You Land Your Next Role.
Its relationship-centered approach provides a disciplined path from preparation through onboarding, with personal support along the way.
Supporting employers through employee transitions
