The Job Search Playbook

We wanted to write The Job Search Playbook for leaders in transition in the modern job market....and it quickly became a bestseller and Amazon hot new release. 

Modern job searching is far from simple as the game has changed. 

Interviews have changed, networking has changed, and it is estimated that 85% of senior roles are never advertised and exist only in the “hidden market”. 

It is no wonder that many leaders on the move lose confidence, lose clarity and struggle to attract the type of role they desire.

The Job Search Playbook will change your perspective and help you create your own simple, clear go–to market plan so you can reach your peak during your job searching activities and gain an edge at every stage. Lets get to work!

LinkedIn Top Voice 2022 | CCO at Fraser Dove International on a Mission to Enhance Life Sciences Through Talent | Recruitment and Executive Search | Speaker | Bestselling Author |

Hi, I am Andrew the very proud CCO of the renowned Life Science Talent Consultancy, Fraser Dove International. 

I am a Father, Talent Obsessed Commercial Leader, Guinness lover, Speaker on Hiring, Personal Branding and Job Searching, Author, Positivity Dispenser and Official LinkedIn Top Voice for Careers.

At Fraser Dove International we imagine a world whereby talent is an enabler, not a barrier to Life Science projects globally.

It's not a straightforward mission as the global hiring market is amidst the most profound talent crunch we have experienced. 

Typically our team of 50 executive search and talent experts help PE and VC backed Life Sciences businesses with one of the following challenges:

- Some are grappling with how to attract, assess and onboard the impact players they need in the boardroom to grow their businesses.

- Others are struggling to stand out as a destination employer within their most business critical talent markets. 

- And a few feel frustrated that they are unable to build engaged executive talent pipelines for their upcoming acquisitions, DEI initiatives, and expansion markets.

So at FDI we have created a different approach.

Because the work you do is to important to fail!
