About Executive Career Upgrades
As Seen In
After working for the largest Fortune 500 executive placement firm in the world, placing/helping over 8,000 people, I’ve learned the tools you need to be successful at the executive level to accelerate your career.
Hi, I’m
Tim Madden
the owner of Executive Career Upgrades. We show high achievers how to take their career to the next level.
I am a Veteran Headhunter who has led teams that have sold and fulfilled on over 50 million dollars in Staffing and Recruitment services since 2013. Prior to that, I was one of the top recruiters for the military in 2011.
I have seen tens of thousands of resumes (probably more) and interacted with CEOs and Senior Executives at some of the top companies in various industries.
What I have learned after thousands of placements…
Resumes almost never clearly describe someone’s own “true skills and achievements,” most of the time hiring managers want to focus on specific bullet points on a job description. This isn’t something that is new; this is a challenge candidates and hiring managers have had going on for years.
Also, most people are confused in their career. They don’t know what to target, they don’t know how to build a clear impactful message, and most of the time settle for mediocrity which leads to poor job performance, low pay, and un-fulfillment.
Not only do I attract high-quality candidates for companies, but I’m also passionate about helping high achievers land that next 6-figure job, which most of the time is less about tactics and more about mindset and confidence.
“Tim and his team are amazing!!! If you are stuck in your career search or just starting out, look no further. Do not waste your time searching on your own. Tim and his team are high performing professionals that will help guide you through the transition and help maximize your earning potential. They are experts in job search, resume writing, LinkedIn profile, interview prep, and salary negotiation. Highly recommended if you are looking to take your career to the next level or making a challenging transition.”
This is what I do.

Hi, I’m
Kara Dennison
I’ve spent my career as a certified Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) specializing in corporate recruiting, and working hand-in-hand with decision-makers to place hundreds of top-talented professionals. I’ve reviewed over 150K resumes in my career.
I know how a poorly written resume can hold back even the most qualified of candidates and I have seen the power of networking propel professionals far past their competition. Since leaving corporate recruiting, I have helped countless Directors, VPs, and Executives position themselves as leaders in the marketplace, leading to better job alignment, higher salaries, and increased workplace engagement.
My passion lies in helping great talent gain access to the right tools in order to bypass applicants tracking systems & gatekeepers in order to land high-quality interviews and the career of their dreams.
