THE
HIRED SIDE

Launching Great Careers

52% of college grads are underemployed 1 year after graduation

It's a tough market.
Even tougher for students and recent grads.

More competition. Fewer entry-level roles. A bar that keeps rising. AI accelerating the trend. 52% of graduates are underemployed a full year after leaving school. Not because they aren't talented. Because the rules changed, and nobody told them.


You got the grades. You led the activities. You earned the degree.

For decades, that formula worked and the system took it from there. That's not how it works anymore.

Today, you have to figure out how to get in the room with the decision-maker. School no longer walks you in. And employers? They expect you to arrive already knowing how to do the job. The market demands that you sell yourself. And most students? They have never been taught how.

This gap is what we built The Hired Side to close.

We ran the game. Now we get you to The Hired Side.

We are three Harvard MBAs who spent our careers at the top of the sales and marketing world. As C-suite executives at some of the world’s most well-known brands and early-stage start-ups, we trained thousands in how to position, differentiate, and close.
 
We were the hiring managers. Not HR. Not recruiting. Not academia. We were the people in the room making the final call. We know what creates conviction to hire. We know what creates doubt to pass. Now, we will teach that to you.

The Hired Side founders, Stef Mauler, Eva Papoutsakis Smith, Sara Bergson Bland met at Harvard Business School.

This is more than career coaching.
This is learning how to sell yourself.

Learn the skills to find and close a great job offer that launches a meaningful career

The skills that close a billion-dollar deal also close a job offer. 

Differentiation. Storytelling. Objection handling. Follow-through.

Your interview is not a test of your past.

It's your chance to prove you are the solution to their problem.

Your application isn't a history of what you have done.

It is a case for what you will deliver.

We build that case with you.

We stay with you until the offer is signed. Your career is launched.
