Take Action to Optimize Your Career
Mark Cohen & Company helps accomplished professionals take control of their careers and optimize outcomes without relying on applications and recruiters.
Our Value Proposition
- • We are experts in active career management and future career planning
- • We are experienced and innovative practitioners who help individuals approach the market in an intentional, differentiated, and sophisticated manner
- • We are dedicated to this craft and routinely deliver our clients a 'return on time' and 'return on investment'
Our Clients
Our clients retain us because they realize career management is not a do-it-yourself project. Instead, our clients seek our expertise to solve career ailments the same way a patient consults a specialist to treat a medical issue -- or the way an athlete teams with an agent to maximize their value.
Our practice is global and industry-agnostic—we each work across all sectors, functions, disciplines, and geographies. Our clients range from executives to individual contributors, from investors to entrepreneurs. What our clients have in common is their mindset: they are receptive to change and to professional support. And they know that they don't know what they don't know.
To team with us, you must be:
- • Highly ambitious about your career, and
- • Deadly serious about optimizing your professional potential
Our Approach
We have a dual-track curriculum: We teach clients how to execute process-driven self-marketing campaigns designed to uncover meaningful, high-quality career opportunities, and we support them transactionally – like agents – throughout the process and throughout their careers.
Educational Curriculum
We teach a masterclass on the fundamentals of running a differentiated and sophisticated search and, specifically, how to get great at key competencies you will use throughout your career.
Transactional Support
We train and support you -- in real-time and permanently -- to refine, customize, and apply the education to specific situations as they occur.
We engage in real-time, live, one-on-one, intimate collaboration rather than prescheduled weekly or monthly sessions AND we commit to help our clients run their careers permanently rather than for a defined period of time. But do not expect us to sell you introductions, leads, or placements. We aren't job brokers.
Leadership
Exclusivity and Engagement
Our firm operates by invitation only. You either receive outreach directly from us or are referred by an existing client. If you've been contacted—or introduced—get on our calendar.
- • We personally meet with individuals instead of living solely in the virtual, atomized, artificial, and siloed world
- • We do not charge for these initial, deeply consultative meetings
- • Our business model and pricing are confidential and disclosed only during a live, 1x1 discussion
Heritage and Reputation
Established in 1985, we have spent over 40 years helping professionals manage, elevate, and sustain exceptional careers. We have hundreds of clients globally who value us for our discretion, experience, insights, innovation, and real-time responsiveness. Together, we bring to bear over 100 years excelling in the highest levels of retained search and corporate to help our clients achieve.
