Your guide

Hi, I'm Nina.

I've sat on every side of the hiring table for twenty years: recruiter, talent leader, global talent executive. I've spent my career in the rooms where they decide who gets the call.

At LinkedIn, Lazada, WPP and Robert Walters, I never once applied for the job. I was always headhunted.

I've also made the mistakes. I put off a difficult conversation for longer than I should have, and it cost me a promotion. I left money on the table when I left The Trade Desk. So I know how this feels from the inside.

Being found is a method, and I can teach it to you without asking you to trade who you are for where you're going.

Clients have landed opportunities in industries from Finance to Tech, and many others in between.

Here's the deal

You did everything right, and your application is still ghosted.

You were told to let the work speak for itself, and you did. Then the market stopped listening. That's on the advice you were given, and it can be fixed.

It's time for your next move, and you're thinking:

  • I have more experience than I've ever had. So why is this the hardest it's ever been?
  • I need to sell myself better, but I'm no marketer. So how?
  • I know I could do this job, if someone would just look at my profile.
  • I keep getting to the last round. Why can't I get through it?
  • Is there something wrong with me?

Searching at US$120K–$250K can feel like looking for a door in the dark, and you want:

  • To have headhunters and decision-makers call you, about roles that actually fit.
  • To get into the companies on your list, and have them compete for you.
  • To choose between offers, at your number, and take the one that fits what you want next.

If this sounds familiar:

  • You've applied for 300 jobs and got less than 10 callbacks. The math is not adding up.
  • You went all the way to the fourth interview, then watched them repost the job on LinkedIn.
  • They said "too junior". None of them even viewed your profile.
  • There's a gap on your CV, and it feels like the first thing anyone sees.
  • They feed you carrots. Every promotion you get, you pay for it the year after.
  • You don't even dare to put 30 years on your CV.
Nina Devouge sitting with a notebook, smiling

You didn't realise the game has changed…

  • Applying used to work. Now about 11,000 applications hit LinkedIn every minute.
  • A recruiter used to read your CV first. Now AI often does, and 88% of employers say their own systems filter out qualified candidates.
  • Keywords used to get you found. Now LinkedIn's Hiring Assistant surfaces the people whose profiles show they meet the requirements, and it weighs proof of impact and recent activity.
  • Great work used to speak for itself. Now final rounds go to whoever looks most plug-and-play.
  • Loyalty used to get you promoted. Now the title comes first, and the pay a year later.
  • Your network used to bring the next job. Now nobody outside your building knows your name.

About 11,000 applications a minute: reported by The New York Times, 2025. 88% of employers: Harvard Business School and Accenture.

From inside the room

Applying used to put you in front of the recruiter.

Now hiring leaders are pressing recruiters to hunt only passive candidates, and to look past the people who apply.

I know, because I've been the person training recruitment teams to do just that.

None of this is a verdict on you. The game changed, and you can learn the new one.

Where you are, and where you could be

You're competing to survive in the red ocean. Our clients are thriving in the blue ocean.

THE JOB When you apply for a job

The red ocean

  • You and hundreds of others chase the same posted role.
  • AI screens you before a person ever does.
  • You compete on keywords, and then on price.
  • You send it off, you wait, and you hear nothing.
PriceProximityPositioning When you get headhunted

The blue ocean

  • A recruiter messages you about a role that was never advertised.
  • The hiring manager already knows your name before you walk in.
  • You say your number, stop talking, and let the silence do the work.
  • You ask for more, and they come back with an extra $18,000 and a signing bonus, like Patricia.
  • You're choosing between two offers, like Annabelle, after 50 applications went nowhere.

Together, we've helped them negotiate $120M+ in salary increases.

How is that even possible?

They became HeadHuntable™.

Looking for your next role?

You've worked so hard at this already. Wide nets catch volume, and they rarely catch the right thing, so we swap cold applications for a short list of the decision-makers who can actually hire you.

Wanting to career pivot?

Your experience is the asset. We turn a career that's hard to pin down into one clear story, so the people in your new lane can see exactly why you.

Going for the promotion?

You've heard "next cycle" for long enough. We make your work visible to the people who decide, and we build your options outside, so you ask from strength and leaving stays your choice.

This is for you.

The mechanism

Stop hunting for a job. Become hunted for the job.

Your actual capability and your perceived capability are two different numbers. Only one of them gets you hired, promoted or paid.

We call the gap The Competence Trap: the habits that made you excellent are not the habits that make you visible. We close the gap without touching the excellence, and without any visibility theatre.

So we get specific about who needs to know you, and we make you a category of one, with the credibility no AI can copy.

This isn't for everyone, and it isn't meant to be. Read both lists honestly before you find out if you're truly HeadHuntable™.

This is for you if…

  • You earn, or recently earned, US$120K–$250K.
  • You've been searching for 12 months. You've been told the market is soft, yet there are plenty of job listings and you're still not getting a call back.
  • Your friends are getting contacted for roles. You're not, and you can't see why.
  • You've done the networking, sent the messages, and heard nothing back.
  • You've got to the last round, then waited three weeks for an offer that never came.
  • You've realised recruiters aren't paid to find you. They're paid by companies to fill a brief, and you're not top of the list.
  • You've been laid off, and you refuse to spend six months applying into the CV black hole.
  • You're ready to pivot, and your CV keeps getting read as hard to pin down.
  • You want the promotion in the next 6 to 12 months, not "next cycle."
  • You're willing to do the work and play the game.

"She held the mirror up and showed me I was the biggest block to my own potential. Within 12 months I went from IC to Talent Leader, and I now sit on the Executive Team of a global company, on double my income."
★★★★★Barbara R. · Head of TalentNew role within 12 months
"I'd accepted every offer I'd ever been given. Twelve years of it. In the negotiation session, Nina made me realise I could ask for more without being apologetic. Three weeks later I had an offer. I asked for more, and they came back with an extra $18,000 and a signing bonus. I'd been leaving money on the table for over a decade, and it stops now."
★★★★★Patricia W. · AnalystJob offer within 3 weeks
"I had applied to more than 50 jobs in a year and never got anywhere. In this programme I understood exactly where I needed to upgrade, and within a month I was being approached for opportunities. The magic really works."
★★★★★Annabelle L. · Senior Marketing Manager2 offers within 1 month

★★★★★Nicole P. · General ManagerNew job within 6 weeks
"I went to work on Monday and, for the first time, said something in a leadership meeting using her framework. Afterwards my director told me: 'The room needs more of your courage. Let's work towards your next steps.'"
★★★★★Samantha T.Attended May '26 programme
"I work in HR. I thought I had everything figured out. Then a big layoff happened and I realised no one was coming to help me. The community is properly supportive. I felt seen, cared for, and everyone cheers each other on. I came for the programme, I stayed for the community."
★★★★★Wendy L. · HR DirectorAttended May '26 programme
"Her unique, interesting yet structured approach of mapping, questions from a place of empathy and corporate sharpness was a good sweet spot. I benefited a lot from my first day."
★★★★★Yana M. · L&D LeaderNew role within 6 months
"The storytelling exercise was my favourite part. It gave me the nuggets I needed for interviews. A resume is easy; interviews are the hard part to do well. I now know how to apply the frameworks, and my stories are clearer."
★★★★★David S. · Senior Front End EngineerGraduated from June '26 programme
"After being laid off I didn't think I would find a job again. Nobody knew me outside my company. I came to learn how to be headhunted and gained something I wasn't expecting: confidence in myself."

Reviews come from earlier HeadHuntable™ programmes and coaching. These are individual experiences, and your results depend on your market and on the work you put in.

What you might be wondering

Fair questions, all of them.

Am I too old for this?

I understand why you'd ask. Your experience is the asset, and we position it so that it reads that way. My father started a new career in real estate at 65. If the rooms you're in keep telling you it's over, we find you better rooms.

Will this be another CV factory, or an AI bot?

You'll work with me and your cohort, live, as yourself. AI does the heavy lifting, and the judgement stays yours: high tech, high touch, high agency.

My best work is under NDA, and I don't have the big logos.

We describe the scale of the problem and the outcome at board level, without naming what you can't. A career that's hard to pin down can become a category of one.

I was a founder. Will the gap sink me?

Those years count. They only read as a gap until they're explained, so we turn them into the commercial value a company is actually hiring for.

Do I have to post on LinkedIn every day?

You don't. Credibility matters more than a personal brand. Visibility is a discipline, not a personality, and we build yours in a way that still sounds like you.

What if I'm not ready for people to check my profile?

That feeling makes complete sense, and it's why we start there. Once we've roasted your CV and rebuilt your profile, I want you to be glad when they look.

What if this isn't the right fit for me? Can I get a refund?

Yes. We start with your Ready Call, and if this isn't right for you, I'll say so. If you join and the first session isn't right for you, you get a full refund, minus a $200 administration fee.

What guarantees do you have?

Two. Love it or leave it: if the first session isn't right for you, you get a full refund, minus a $200 administration fee. Do the work: if you've done the work and don't have an offer by the end of the six live weeks, I keep working with you until you do, for up to 6 months, including your six weeks of support. I can't promise what your market will do, so I put my own time on the line instead.

The programme

Being headhunted is a proven method.

I've worked at Fortune 500 companies, and I never once applied. I was always headhunted, by people I had never met, for jobs I never thought were within my reach, even across geographies.

The HeadHuntable™ programme

Done with you, live online, in a small cohort of people at your level. Small by design, so that every client gets real time with me.

6weeks live

What it's worth.

What a 20% rise is worth at your level, every year:

$24,000–$50,000

Based on 20% of US$120K–$250K. An illustration of the sums, not a promise of what you will earn.

The guarantee.

Love it or leave it. If the first session isn't right for you, you get a full refund, minus a $200 administration fee.

Do the work. If you've done the work and don't have an offer by the end of the six live weeks, I keep working with you until you do, for up to 6 months, including your six weeks of support.

We talk about the investment on your call, once we both know it's a fit.

Impact

Your seat helps the underserved.

5%

of every HeadHuntable™ programme fee goes to Rotary International, to support its humanitarian programmes and initiatives. ELLEUMINATE is part of the Rotary Club of Singapore. It shapes how we run the room, and where a slice of every fee ends up. When you take a seat, a piece of it travels further than you do.

The Four-Way Test. Of the things we think, say or do. We apply the same test in our programmes.

  1. Is it the truth?
  2. Is it fair to all concerned?
  3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
  4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
