Nina_Expat

Recruiter in Australia. Helping you get a job and relocate to Australia.

1:1 Strategy Session

1:1 Strategy Session

A$225

Most people keep sending applications and hope something changes.

It won't. The strategy has to change first.

I've recruited internationally for 13+ years across Russia, the UAE, the Netherlands and now Perth. I got my own sponsored role in Australia without applying to a single job.

In this session I look at your search the way I'd look at a candidate on my own desk. Then we build your plan.

What we cover

  1. Where you fit the market. Which roles, cities and company tiers make sense for your background.

  2. How to position yourself. The clear specialist story that makes recruiters and hiring managers pay attention.

  3. LinkedIn that gets found. Your headline and profile, set up so recruiters find you.

  4. Which recruiters to contact. Who works your field and what to send them.

  5. Salary and offer reality. What's realistic to ask for.

  6. Your 30-day plan. Clear next steps, in order.

What you get

  • 60 minute Google Meet session with me

  • I review your CV and LinkedIn before we meet

  • Written summary and action plan within 48 hours

This session is for you if

  • You're applying abroad and hearing nothing back

  • You want a recruiter's view on your CV, LinkedIn and method

What clients say

"I submitted hundreds of applications over the past few years... So I did something different. I hired a career coach (thank you, Nina Startseva-van Hulzen) who challenged me to think beyond my resume. One of the biggest takeaways? Network referrals matter. A lot."

Carrmen K., Plant Operations Technician, on LinkedIn

What this session is not

It's not a job placement and it's not migration advice. I can't promise you interviews or an offer. What I can give you is an honest read and a clear plan.

I had the pleasure of working with Nina during my career transition to the Netherlands. She helped me better understand the local job market, refine my search strategy, and structure my LinkedIn profile. I truly appreciated her professional approach, clarity, and practical advice - it made the whole process much more focused and efficient.

Nina recently performed a LinkedIn audit on my profile, and the experience was genuinely valuable. She was flexible, kind, and precise with her feedback, a rare combination when you’re navigating something as personal as your professional story. What stayed with me the most was her ability to cut through the noise and highlight what really matters: keeping the storytelling aspect alive while making every section clear, consistent, and connected. Her insights were direct, grounded, and immediately useful. I’m grateful for the clarity she brought to my personal branding.

I had the pleasure of working with Nina at two key moments of my job search in the Netherlands. At the beginning, she offered a short CV consultation that provided clear, practical feedback and a real confidence boost. Later, when I received a job offer, I reached out to her again to better understand the Dutch job market and navigate contract-related questions. Her guidance helped me feel more confident and well-prepared. Nina is knowledgeable, supportive, and truly cares about her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone navigating the Dutch job market.

After more than a month of actively applying for new positions, running through tens of recruiters and endless refusals, Nina showed up. The way she talked was already sounding different as she was actually making her own script, not rehearsing the same one that everyone else did. The second thing she did to detach herself from the crowd was to send me a full-on 20-page interview preparation PDF that helped me a great deal. Follow-ups, calls, quick responses every time. I had a great experience working with her. Thank you, Nina!

I had the pleasure of working with Nina during my job search in 2023, when she recruited me for an exciting opportunity in the Netherlands and guided me through the entire relocation process from Greece. From the very first interaction, Nina's expertise and genuine enthusiasm shone through. She not only identified a role that perfectly matched my skills but also provided invaluable advice on tailoring my CV and preparing for Dutch-style interviews, taking into account cultural nuances that I, as an international candidate, might overlook. Her deep understanding of the Dutch job market and relocation challenges made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless and exciting. Thanks to her dedication, I successfully relocated to the Netherlands and have been thriving in my new role ever since. Nina is an exceptional recruiter! Professional, empathetic, and was truly invested in my success. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking opportunities, especially internationals looking for a trusted partner in their career journey!! Thank you Nina; forever grateful!!

Irina Panfilova

Nina helped me realize what my main mistake was in my international job search. I wasn’t using LinkedIn as a tool. Thanks to our consultation, I finally started working on this platform and stepped out of my comfort zone. I truly believe it will bring results. But even now, I can say it gave me a huge boost of motivation!

I’m so happy that I got to talk with Nina. She was very helpful and incredibly sweet. She’s really good at what she does. At first, when I booked the appointment, I was so worried—but she completely changed that. From everything she has achieved herself, she’s truly an inspiration. She walked me through every step of how to reach my goal, starting from where to begin. I honestly can’t thank her enough. I totally recommend her to anyone struggling to find a job in the Netherland and needs career advice.

I’ve known Nina for several years, and I’m always impressed by her positive attitude, determination, and passion for helping people. As a hiring manager, she not only knows her job very well but also makes others feel comfortable and supported. Her career journey is truly inspiring. She moved from Russia to Dubai, where she built her career from scratch, and later continued her success in the Netherlands. Everything she achieved was thanks to her hard work, curiosity, and willingness to learn. Nina is a person who genuinely cares about others. She’s always happy to share advice, support, and positive energy. I’m sure that anyone who works with her will appreciate her knowledge, dedication, and cheerful personality.

Nina was my Career Consultant and we had several job search strategy sessions together. During our sessions, Nina helped me identify my strengths and uncover hidden potential in my professional personality. We quickly determined that my area of interest was in IT and Telecommunications. The job search strategy sessions involved preparatory phases where Nina provided company insights and offered mock interviews. Thanks to Nina’s professional help, I have found a great job and it’s been two years that I am delighted to be working in a telecommunications company. I am grateful for discovering a new professional field and highly recommend Nina as a Career Consultant.

It was a pleasure to receive Nina's consultations on a Career Change subject in 2021. Nina has not only provided a structured and professional advice as a career consultant, but also shared her amazing positive energy and boosted my confidence at a rather challenging moment. She has also implemented a follow-up on my progress after our sessions were over, and in fact is still in touch with me on my professional situation. I certainly recommend Nina to everyone who is looking for a career advice and support.

She is able to think outside the box and see the problem from many different angles. She is capable of pragmatic thinking, tackling projects with a mindset of solving immediate business problems first and then considering long-term roadmaps.
