How it works
A calm, four-step process. That's it.
Most new clients are juggling a job and a job search. We've designed the process to fit around that — short calls, clear homework, no corporate theatre.

Free CV assessment
Tell us where you are. We'll tell you what to fix first.
Leave your details and we'll come back within one working day with a written snapshot of your CV — what's working, what's holding it back, and whether we think coaching would move the needle for you.
- No obligation, no pressure — we'd rather say "you don't need us" than sell you a package.
- Your details are held under UK GDPR. We never sell or share them.
- A real human reads your CV. No templates, no auto-replies.
Clients
People we've actually helped.
"Three months of applications, not one callback. Two weeks after Eleanor rewrote my CV I had interviews with two of the Big Four. Signed the offer yesterday."
"The mock interviews were brutally honest, which is exactly what I needed. I walked into the real one almost looking forward to it. Got the VP role."
"As an Indian engineer moving to London, I didn't know what I didn't know. Yaqona Base decoded the whole thing — from cover letter tone to how to answer 'why the UK?' without sounding rehearsed."
Still on the fence?
The discovery call is free and honest. You'll leave it knowing whether coaching is worth your money.
