Your search, run your way.

During your intake conversation, you and your strategist build a written targeting brief covering the titles you want, adjacent titles worth including, and any you'd rather exclude. The same role is labeled a dozen ways across companies, so Marqee maps the real-world variants — that's how good openings don't slip past you.

The list isn't locked. Each week, as you see which roles resonate, you can add, drop, or re-prioritize titles with your strategist. See the full method on how it works.

Your strategist sets a seniority band — senior IC, manager, director, VP, and so on — rather than one rigid title, because identical scope carries different labels at different companies. They calibrate the band to your experience and goals.

That keeps you matched to roles where you genuinely compete, instead of being auto-filtered as over- or under-qualified. If you're stepping up a level or making a lateral move, your strategist positions your materials to support the band you're targeting. Executives and new grads each get tier-appropriate calibration.

Tell your strategist which metros you'll consider, whether you want remote, hybrid, or onsite, and whether you're open to relocation and on what terms. Those preferences become filters on your target list:

• Hard filters rule roles in or out (e.g. remote-only, or no relocation).
• Soft preferences rank roles you'd consider lower without excluding them.

You can change this anytime — opening up remote or adding a city often expands a stalled search considerably.

During intake you share a target comp range and your walk-away floor. Your strategist prioritizes roles that realistically clear that floor, flags ones that may need negotiation, and uses your range to steer outreach and, later, interview and offer conversations.

Confidential mode is a discreet setting for searching while employed. With it on, your strategist:

• Avoids your current employer and any named competitors you flag.
• Keeps your profile from being broadcast publicly — no public "open to work" signal unless you ask for one.
• Reviews outreach so nothing lands somewhere that could circle back to your manager.

Paired with Assisted approvals — where you see everything before it sends — it gives you a search no one at work needs to know about. More on data handling in Privacy & security.

Not from us. In Assisted mode every application and message waits for your approval and sends from your own account, so there's no public signal unless you choose one. In confidential mode your strategist actively steers around your employer and any companies you flag.

Your data stays yours, access is scoped to what you connect, and you can revoke it anytime. You decide what goes out and where — see on your behalf for how control works.

Everything runs through your Marqee account: a shared dashboard with your target list, drafts awaiting approval, and a message thread with your named strategist. You'll typically have a kickoff conversation, then asynchronous check-ins plus a structured weekly review.

You can message your strategist anytime and they'll respond within their stated hours — no ticket queue, no bots. Meet the people behind it on our strategists.

Two rhythms run in parallel:

• A weekly review summarizing what was sent, what came back, and what's planned next.
• Asynchronous updates as drafts are ready for approval or replies come in.

Anything time-sensitive — a recruiter reply, an interview request — gets flagged right away rather than waiting for the weekly cadence.

Through the week your strategist sources and scores new roles, tailors materials for the strongest fits, and drafts recruiter outreach and referral asks. In Assisted mode these come to you for approval; you review, approve, and they send from your account.

Interviews get scheduled as replies land, and at the end of the week your strategist reads the real signal — open rates, replies, application-to-interview conversion — and sharpens the plan for the next one.

Your targeting brief is ready within 24 hours of onboarding, and tailored applications begin that same week. Interview timing depends on your field, seniority, and the market — but most members see recruiter replies and first conversations within the early weeks as outreach and referrals compound.

Want a no-commitment look first? The free 48-hour trial includes up to 3 submissions with no card, so you can watch a real strategist work before you decide.

Your strategist treats a quiet week as data, not a dead end. Every week they review real signal — open rates, recruiter replies, conversion — and adjust targeting, materials, and channels accordingly.

That might mean widening your seniority band, opening up location, sharpening your resume's positioning, or leaning harder into referrals over cold applications. The strategy keeps adapting until the results move. See real outcomes on results.

Yes — anytime, from your account. Pausing is built for the moments it's useful: when you're heads-down at work, traveling, deep in an interview loop, or weighing an offer you want to think about.

While paused, new outreach stops and you're not billed for the paused period, but your targeting brief, tailored materials, and history all stay in place so you can resume right where you left off. Billing details live in Account & billing.

When you pause, your strategist holds new activity but your target list, materials, and message history stay put for a smooth restart.

If you cancel, your data remains yours — you can export it, and access can be revoked at any time. Nothing about your search is ever shared outside Marqee without your consent.
