Stop Applying to Jobs. Start Creating Opportunities.

The Career Insider System: How Directors, VPs, and C-suite executives in CPG, manufacturing, multi-unit retail, restaurant, hospitality, healthcare, and financial services land their next role in 90 days without ever filling out an online application.

Why Traditional Job Searching Fails Executives

The traditional job search system wasn’t built for Director-to-C-suite leaders. While you’re competing with hundreds of candidates for posted roles with less than a 2% success rate, the best executive opportunities are being filled through conversations you’re not having.

The Career Insider System: Your 90-Day Roadmap

How It Works

Stop competing with hundreds of candidates for posted jobs. The Career Insider System gives you a systematic approach to accessing the hidden job market where 70-85% of executive opportunities are filled. Here’s how it works:

Identify Your Targets

Stop spray-and-pray applications to hundreds of postings. Identify 200-250 companies where your expertise in finance, operations, supply chain, sales, or marketing would be transformational. Focus on founder-led companies, PE-backed platforms, and growth-phase organizations solving problems you've already solved.

Create Strategic Conversations

Reach out with insights about their challenges, not requests for jobs. Position yourself as a peer with valuable executive experience. Build relationships before opportunities exist.

Research Decision Makers

Skip HR and junior recruiters. Find the CEOs, Presidents, SVPs, board members, and PE operating partners who actually make hiring decisions. Understand their business challenges, growth signals, and operational pain points.

Convert to Multiple Offers

Turn conversations into opportunities. Create competitive dynamics by having multiple discussions simultaneously. Negotiate from strength, not desperation, for 12-20% higher compensation than you'd receive through traditional applications.

Client Feedback

I urge everyone in an executive capacity or otherwise looking to gain an edge in his or her job search to work with Mike Sudermann and gain the knowledge and advice this extensive system covers. The results I experienced were phenomenal. I was hired into my dream job and transformed my life. Plus, I was offered more than a 50% increase in compensation. A total game changer for me and my family. The strategies work. Mike works.

I cannot recommend Mike Sudermann enough and his system. It had been about 20-years since I looked for a new job. I was overwhelmed with where to start. How to best write my resume, LinkedIn, interviewing, networking, talking to recruiters, finding hidden positions etc. I was stressed out. Mike’s system covered everything I needed to regroup and find a senior level leadership position very quickly.

WOW! Mike Sudermann exceeded my expectations in every way! My resume, LinkedIn profile and job search game plan are vastly improved and more efficient. I have been interviewing like crazy and already getting offers! Thanks Mike

I happily followed Mike's coaching and landed quickly with a huge increase in compensation, didn't have to relocate, and joined a company with a great culture. Everyone needs a guy like Mike Sudermann

Best thing I've done in my career in years is hire Mike Sudermann and go through his career insider program.

Mike is an excellent resource and connecting with him was great. He gave advice that was clear, direct and the unvarnished truth. Mike has seen it all in his years of recruiting and placement. Mike’s influence helped me successfully navigate the job search process.,
