Pick your commitment — the more you commit, the lower the per-application price. Weekly plans — Basic $29, Pro $49, Executive $99 — are an ongoing partnership: a dedicated strategist runs your search week after week, cancel anytime. One-time Sprints — from $149 — are a prepaid volume discount: a set number of applications run as a project, no subscription, save up to 72% vs pay-as-you-go. Not ready to commit? Pay-as-you-go is $1.49 per application, 50 minimum, no setup fee. À-la-carte add-ons and a free self-serve Backstage layer sit underneath it all. The throughline is simple: prep Backstage, step into the spotlight, headline the marquee.

For people who want a partner, not a project. A real strategist owns your search and keeps it moving — fresh roles, tailored materials, outreach, and submissions, week after week. Cancel anytime, no lock-in.

Refund policy

Fair, in writing, no surprises.

You acknowledge this policy at checkout. We don't guarantee a job, interview, or any other outcome — we guarantee the work.

Work begins within 24 hours

We notify you right before your strategist starts, so you always know when the clock begins.

Full refund before work begins

Change your mind any time before your strategist starts? You get a full refund, no questions.

Weekly: cancel anytime

Cancel to stop all future weeks. The current week is non-refundable once work has begun.

Sprints & pay-as-you-go

Once work begins, your refund = amount paid − (applications already delivered × the $1.49 standard rate). Delivered work bills at the standard rate; the remainder is refunded.

We fail to start or staff → full refund

If Marqee doesn't start on time or staff your search, you get every dollar back.

No outcome guarantee

Hiring decisions aren't ours to make, so we never promise a job or interview — only the work behind it.

Charging delivered applications at the standard $1.49 rate keeps the volume discount fair — it can't be unlocked and then immediately refunded. Full terms →

The value logic

What a managed search actually buys.

A dedicated human running your whole search — weekly, or in one Sprint — at a price that doesn't read like the five-figure invoice an executive-search firm would hand you for the same kind of attention. We don't just fill out forms; we get you referred.

Doing it alone
10+ hours a week of searching

Job boards, forms, follow-ups — on top of your real life.

The same resume, everywhere

Untargeted applications stall at the first filter.

No way into the warm channels

Recruiter and referral paths stay closed.

A Marqee plan or Sprint
Hours handed back

A real person runs the search while you live your life.

Materials tailored to each role

Built to be seen by humans and to pass ATS.

Outreach + referrals worked for you

The channels that actually convert to interviews.

Pricing FAQ

Good to know.

A free 48-hour Pro trial. You get up to 3 expert-submitted applications, run by a real person, with no card required — the no-risk way to evaluate the service before you commit to anything.

Pay-as-you-go is the standard rate: $1.49 per application, with a minimum order of 50 applications (about $75) and no setup fee. It's the simplest way in when you're not ready to commit. Sprints and weekly plans are prepaid volume discounts off this standard rate — the more you commit, the lower the per-application price.

Sprints are a prepaid volume discount off the $1.49 standard rate: Launch is $149 for 250 applications ($0.60 each, 60% off), Accelerate is $299 for 600 ($0.50 each, 66% off), and Concierge is $499 for 1,200 ($0.42 each, 72% off). Commit to volume and save up to 72%.

Three à-la-carte expert services you can add to any plan, Sprint, or pay-as-you-go order: Expert Résumé Writing ($99), LinkedIn Makeover ($99), and Interview Prep ($99) — or all three bundled for $249.

Work begins within 24 hours, and we notify you right before your strategist starts. You can get a full refund any time before work begins. On weekly plans, cancel anytime to stop future weeks; the current week is non-refundable once work has begun. On Sprints and pay-as-you-go, once work begins your refund equals the amount paid minus the applications already delivered, billed at the $1.49 standard rate — so delivered work is charged at the standard rate and the remainder is refunded. If Marqee fails to start on time or staff your search, you get a full refund. We don't guarantee a job, interview, or any other outcome. You acknowledge this policy at checkout.

They suit two different mindsets. A weekly plan is an ongoing managed partner — a dedicated strategist runs your search week after week, and you cancel anytime. A one-time Sprint is a fixed, no-subscription package: you buy a set number of applications with outreach and referrals, we run it, and it's done. Pick weekly if you want a continuous partner; pick a Sprint if you want a defined push with no recurring charge.

Backstage is Marqee's free, self-serve layer of career tools — resume and cover-letter builders, a personal site builder, a candidacy score, a recruiter and referral finder, and a resume tailor. Most tools are free. The idea is simple: prep Backstage, step into the spotlight, headline the marquee. You can do a remarkable amount yourself for free, and when you'd rather a real person run the whole search, the managed service puts you on the marquee.

Yes, on weekly plans. Cancel in your dashboard whenever you like. Your plan stays active through the week you've paid for, then simply stops. No notice period, no fees, no lock-in. Sprints and pay-as-you-go are one-time, so there's nothing to cancel; before work begins you can get a full refund.

Real people lead every managed search and make every judgment call. Backstage tools use technology to help you prep, but the managed service is human-led — technology is the quiet engine room that helps your strategist move faster. It never replaces the human who owns your outcome.

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. We can't guarantee outcomes, because hiring decisions are not ours to make. What we guarantee is the work: a real person tailoring materials, running outreach and referrals, and submitting strong, role-matched applications on your behalf — every week, or across your Sprint.

If you want an ongoing partner, the weekly plans scale with intensity: Basic for early-career momentum, Pro for an active search with outreach and referrals, Executive for an all-out push. If you want a defined one-time push with no subscription, the Sprints scale by volume: Launch (250), Accelerate (600), and Concierge (1,200). And if you're not ready to commit, pay-as-you-go is $1.49 per application with a 50-application minimum and no setup fee.
