A little bit about Ben

On average you’ll spend 90,000 hours of your life working. It’s my mission to help you spend that time in a career you love, doing work that lights you up! That’s why I’ve dedicated my career in HR, learning and leadership development to helping 1000s of individuals and leaders thrive in their careers and land their dream roles.

As an experienced job search coach and career strategist, I help you secure your next role with confidence and clarity. With over 15 years leading talent, leadership, and culture initiatives at Fortune 500 tech companies, startups, and global nonprofits, I understand what hiring leaders look for and how you can stand out as the perfect candidate in this competitive job market.

I’ve guided thousands of executives, mid-level leaders, and career pivoters globally, to navigate complex career transitions, refine their personal brand, and secure roles that align with their values and goals. My expertise includes everything from clarifying what job titles leverage your unique skills and passions, personal branding, resume and LinkedIn optimization, effective networking, interview prep, and maximizing your compensation through effective salary negotiation.

My deep expertise in Human Resources, experience as a people leader and MBA in Organizational Behavior and Strategic HR give me unique insight into the hiring process and how to successfully position you to land your dream role.

I’m a global citizen with roots in New Zealand, Australia, and the US, and love connecting with and coaching professionals from all walks of life and any industry. Currently I reside in Seattle, WA with my wife and 5 children. I look forward to helping you succeed in your job search journey!

"In May of this year, I was informed that I needed to make a transition with my employment.
I think most of us who find ourselves in the process of seeking new employment, find it a little stressful. Self-esteem takes a hit. Even though I had the support of my wife, family, and countless friends and co-workers, I still felt alone and exposed in many ways.
Ben took the time to listen to my situation and goals. He was a thought partner. He gave me valuable feedback with my resume, networking, and interview strategies. He is a valuable coach. Sessions were efficient and a great value add. I not only came away with strategies and feedback, my confidence and drive increased.
If you are in need of leadership development and coaching, networking and employment strategies, get a hold of Ben Murphy."
