Former tech recruiter with 8+ years screening resumes at Series B–D startups. Specializes in product, engineering, and design leadership.
LinkedInCareerAscend exists for one reason: to help ambitious professionals and executives secure the interviews — and the offers — they deserve.
CareerAscend was founded on a single, frustrating truth: brilliant professionals were losing roles they were perfectly qualified for — not because they lacked talent, but because their resumes were getting filtered out before a human ever read them. Years of watching directors, VPs, and even C-suite executives get ghosted by ATS algorithms made one thing clear: the modern hiring system is built to reject, not to recognize.
So we built the opposite. Every engagement at CareerAscend is treated like a strategic consulting project — not a transactional resume edit. We start by understanding your career architecture: where you've been, the impact you've actually had, and the seat you're aiming for next. Then we translate that into language the algorithm respects and the hiring panel can't look away from.
We pair recruiter insight, ATS engineering, and editorial craft — the same disciplines used by McKinsey communications teams, Goldman search firms, and elite executive coaches. The result is a document that doesn't just describe you; it positions you. As the obvious hire. The candidate the shortlist was built around.
Our clients land roles at Google, Amazon, JPMorgan, Deloitte, Meta, and dozens of Series C–IPO companies. They negotiate 20–40% higher compensation. They go from radio silence to multiple competing offers — often within a month of delivery. This isn't aspirational marketing. It's what shows up in our inbox, week after week.
And we put our work on the line: if your rewrite doesn't open doors within 30 days, we revise it until it does — or refund you. No scripts, no hoops, no fine print. You're either the candidate they're chasing, or you don't pay.
If you're tired of waiting for callbacks that never come, this is the team you bring in. Quietly, decisively, and only once.

Founder & Lead Career Strategist · CPRW, CARW, NCOPE
Roheem founded CareerAscend after nearly a decade inside corporate recruiting — first as a Fortune 500 sourcer, then as a retained executive search consultant — watching brilliant candidates get filtered out by ATS algorithms before a human ever read their work. That insider view became the foundation of CareerAscend's writing methodology.
He holds three industry credentials: CPRW (Certified Professional Resume Writer · PARW/CC), CARW (Certified Advanced Resume Writer · Career Directors International), and NCOPE (Nationally Certified Online Profile Expert) — covering executive resume craft, ATS engineering, and LinkedIn optimization respectively.
His approach pairs deep ATS fluency — keyword architecture, parsing-friendly formatting, recruiter-tested structure — with executive-grade narrative writing. Clients have landed at Google, Amazon, Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Salesforce, JPMorgan, and dozens of Series C–IPO companies. Every engagement is personally led by Roheem. No outsourcing, no templates — just strategy, written down.

A snapshot of recent engagements with senior leaders and C-suite clients.
A VP of Operations had applied for nine months with zero callbacks. We rebuilt her positioning around P&L scale and transformation outcomes. Four interviews in three weeks; accepted an SVP role with a 38% comp jump.
A senior marketing director was being filtered out before recruiters ever saw him. After a full ATS rewrite and LinkedIn rebrand, three executive interviews in 30 days and a CMO seat at a Series C SaaS company.
A COO ready to step up needed board-level gravitas. We delivered exec bio, resume, and LinkedIn that led with enterprise outcomes. In 6 weeks she was in final-round conversations at two PE-backed health systems.
A Director of Customer Success had been passed over twice internally. After repositioning and a private recruiter outreach campaign, she secured two VP offers and triggered a $55K retention package from her current company.
An Engineering Manager with strong impact but a weak resume couldn't get past the screen. We rebuilt his technical narrative around platform scale and team velocity. Final-round interviews at three FAANG-tier companies within 8 weeks.
A VP of Product wanted the CPO seat but kept losing to candidates with louder LinkedIn presences. We rewrote his narrative around platform bets and ARR growth, plus a recruiter outreach plan. CPO offer in 9 weeks.
A senior associate ready to leave private practice needed an in-house narrative. We translated her litigation work into commercial impact language. Two GC offers from venture-backed companies within 7 weeks.
A Managing Director needed to explore the market without surfacing on LinkedIn. We ran a fully off-market campaign through executive search firms. Five conversations, two final-round mandates, one accepted at Group MD.
A hospitality operations leader wanted to pivot into product management. We mapped transferable skills, rewrote the entire narrative, and built an outreach plan. Senior PM offer in 11 weeks — first tech role of her career.
A divisional CFO wanted his first whole-company CFO seat. We led with cash-flow discipline, transformation, and exit prep. Three PE-backed CFO offers, accepted the one with the cleanest equity package.
A senior PM at a public company wanted in on the AI wave but lacked startup credibility. We reframed her shipping velocity and 0→1 work. Head of Product offer at a Series B AI startup in 5 weeks.
A senior director who had stepped away to care for family worried she'd have to restart. We built a returnship-aware narrative and recruiter scripts. Senior Director role at a Fortune 500, one level up from her exit.
