About HireClub
HireClub is a coaching platform for professionals. For a fee you can get access to their pool of career coaches, whereas it is usually to be first matched with a coach, reserving the ability to change to other coaches at any time.
Coaching is usually done within 30 - 120 minute calls with coaches. While daily messaging is offered, it’s thought to be “best used for short conversations such as check-ins, quick updates, and setting up agenda for your next call.”
For cases that may warrant more time, they also offer single sessions, such as a Resume Review for $49, or a mock interview for $119.
