A discreet search for senior professionals

Senior searches need precision rather than volume, and discretion while you remain in your current role.

PBridge keeps your search in California confidential: a curated weekly list of senior roles, a tailored resume for each one you approve, and applications submitted only where you say.

Curated, not mass

Fewer, better-matched senior roles each week.

Confidential

No applications to your current employer or any company you exclude.

Positioned as a leader

Your resume rewritten for leadership roles, with results and scope made clear.

Senior roles in the US

What a director-level or VP search in the US needs

Many of the most senior US roles go through retained search firms. A large number of director, VP and C-level openings are still posted on company career sites, and those are the ones we apply to.

At this level a search has to be quiet and exact. We apply to fewer roles, each one approved by you, and never to your current employer or anyone you exclude.

Posted senior roles

Exclusions respected

What applies across the United States

California is the largest state job market in the US and the most competitive: software and hardware companies across Silicon Valley and San Francisco, biotech in South San Francisco and San Diego, entertainment and media in Los Angeles, and large healthcare, aerospace and public-sector employers statewide.

Applicant volumes for well-known employers are enormous, so applications have to be fast and precisely matched. We source across the Bay Area, Los Angeles and San Diego, tailor a US-format resume to each posting and apply to the roles you approve.

Questions

Before you start

Anything else? Email support@pbridgeco.com and our team will come back to you.

Will my current employer find out I am looking?

We never apply to your current employer or any company you exclude, and applications go only to roles you approve.

What level of role do you treat as executive in the US?

Director, senior director, VP and C-level roles. Tell us the level you are targeting at onboarding.

Can I exclude certain companies?

Yes. Add exclusions during onboarding and we will never apply to them.

Do you handle executive search firms?

We apply to advertised senior roles and company portals. Retained search firms run their own processes, which we can help you prepare for.

Do you only apply in California?

No. We cover San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego and the rest of California, and you can add any other location in the United States or abroad to your targets at any time.

Do you apply to roles that need US work authorisation?

We filter by the authorisation you tell us you have. If you need sponsorship, we prioritise employers known to sponsor, but sponsorship is always the employer's decision.

Will you write a US-style resume?

Yes. One to two pages, no photo or personal details, and tailored to each posting.

Is it allowed to have someone apply for me?

Yes. Applications are made in your name, with your real experience and documents, and you approve every role before we apply. Employers hire you directly.
