The right next role could be closer than you think. Let's find out if you qualify.

I connect skilled professionals with vetted open roles at real employers, across industries — roles I've already screened before they reach you. The employer pays if it's a fit, never you.

Start a conversation See how it works

How this works

Four steps. You're in control at every one.

Tell me about your background

Role type, industry, experience level, and what you're actually looking for next. That's what determines fit, not a sales pitch.

I match you to open roles

Against roles I've already vetted, not a blind list of postings. I'll tell you honestly if nothing's a fit right now.

You interview directly with the employer

I make the introduction; the employer runs their own process from there. Nothing happens without you.

You get the job, I get paid by the employer

Never a cost to you, at any point in this process. That's true of every legitimate placement, not just how I run this.

What roles are looking for

Not every background is a fit — here's what usually is

The roles I work with vary, but the employers behind them are generally looking for:

Clear specialization

A specific title, skill set, or track record an employer can evaluate quickly.

Defined role or title Verifiable experience Resume-ready background

Active availability

Genuinely open to interviewing now, not passively browsing.

Ready to interview Responsive communication Realistic timeline

I'll tell you exactly which role fits once we talk — I don't list openings here so that our conversation stays the way you find out, not a search engine.

Why trust this

A note on trust

You will never pay a fee to be referred or placed. That's true of every role I work with — the employer pays if there's a hire, not you. If anyone in this process ever asks you for money, that's not legitimate, and it's not me.

I'll always tell you what I know before you commit to an interview, and if a role isn't a real fit for your background, I'll say so rather than push it anyway.

Who's asking

A real person, a real track record

I'm Zay Patrick, an Army veteran and founder based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Alongside my own ventures, I connect established businesses with AI data partnerships, individuals with paid AI training work, and professionals with open roles across industries. Same principle every time — I evaluate fit honestly before I ever put your name in front of anyone.

Role hereTalent placement consultant, not the employer

Think your background might be a fit?

Tell me a bit about your experience and what you're looking for. I'll tell you honestly whether it's worth pursuing — no pressure either way.
