When I was job hunting about 10 years ago I came across a recruiting firm who pitched me well enough to come in and bring my wife. Their pitch sounded similar, in that they had "inside info" on companies, an extremely high success rate, but they needed me to pay them money. Being in high demand (tech/programming) I scoffed at them and found my own job. I think they were asking for around $3-5k? I think the only way this would work for me personally is if I was having trouble finding a job, and if I paid them after I got hired. I need to somehow confirm this company's actual worth in the hiring process, without feeling like I'm being given a sales pitch.

Thanks! Definitely, when you're in high demand your needs are very different than the vast majority of people The Lobby helps today. Also - our cost is much lower (calls range from $60 - $100), instead of the $3-$5k your recruiter asked for. Further - they are asking you for $3-$5k up front to get a job, so until they deliver you said job, they're failing. The Lobby asks you to pay for specific tactical things you do on a 30m call - a mock interview, a resume critique, strategy & actionable tips to improve your interview outcomes. The value is delivered instantly.
