For Driven Professionals
Positioning, personal brand, and the inside view of how career decisions actually get made. For driven professionals who want real strategy built from the inside out.
Stop sending resumes into the void. This is the targeted, HR-insider approach I use with the professionals I support to land interviews at the companies they actually want to work for.
Career Coach
I spent 10 years in HR and People and Culture roles across tech, retail, cleantech, consumer goods, and mining tech, with companies like Walmart, Amazon, Heineken, Loop Energy, and VRIFY. I was in the room when hiring decisions were made, when promotions were discussed, and when leadership evaluated who was ready to move up.
What I saw in those 10 years is that career outcomes rarely come down to qualifications alone. They come down to positioning. To how someone's story lands. To whether the right people know who you are and what you stand for. To how well you understand the human dynamics happening on the other side of the table.
I sit with you personally and work through why your career isn't moving the way you expected. I help you build a personal brand that gets you remembered for the right things. That's the work that takes a real person with real insider experience.
Personal, 1:1, and grounded in real HR experience. For driven professionals who are serious about where they're going.
Services
I work with professionals who already know their direction. The starting point looks different for each person. The strategy is the same: positioning, personal brand, and a real plan built on how career decisions actually happen.
This is where I teach The Driven Job Search. A focused list of companies you actually want, real connections built before you apply, and outreach that gets a response instead of silence. It's how the professionals I support get responses that actually lead somewhere.

For driven professionals who are serious about their next career move. You're employed, putting in the work, but visibility, recognition, and real progression aren't happening the way you expected. We work on your internal positioning, how leadership sees you, and what it actually takes to get to the next level where you are. This requires someone who understands the human dynamics of how careers actually advance inside organizations. That's what I bring to every professional I work with.

For driven professionals building a career across borders. I'm Brazilian. I started my HR career in Brazil with companies like Walmart and Heineken, then moved to Canada and built my international career here in Vancouver, working in cleantech and mining tech. Ten years inside HR across two countries, watching how hiring decisions get made. Whether you're an internationally trained professional landing in Canada or the US, or you're aiming at a role abroad or a global remote position, I've lived the move you're making. I've coached professionals into their target companies in Vancouver, into multinationals, and one client from Canada into a role in Sweden.

My experience working with Rachel was nothing short of phenomenal. Her experience and dedication to her work was immediately evident and gave me every confidence with moving forward. We followed her process of market research, identifying key areas to focus on, resume building and worked through the interview and application together. I had set some lofty goals when we started but with her guidance, we achieved them and even met my short timeline. Rachel has my highest recommendation!
After looking for a role for over a year, I decided to seek guidance and connecting with Rachel could not have come at a better time. I had already been leveraging my network, which she reinforced, and after just one session I received an offer. She was instrumental in guiding me through the interview process and helped me negotiate with confidence. I will also continue working with her during my probationary period to level up my LinkedIn and personal brand. I am very grateful for her support.
I recently worked with Rachel during my job search. She helped me reposition my experience to pivot into a new industry and role. Her guidance helped me clarify my strengths and present my background in a way that aligned with my career goals, which led to being hired by my target company in Vancouver. Rachel is very knowledgeable about the job market, and her HR insight made a real difference throughout the process. I would definitely recommend working with her.
Working with my career coach has completely transformed the way I see myself professionally. She has helped me communicate more effectively and document my contributions clearly and in a structured way. As a result I am more confident at work, her guidance has been crucial for my growth. What stands out to me the most is how genuinely she cares. She teaches with clarity, patience, and heart. I am truly grateful for her mentorship and for the positive transformation she has brought to my career.
Rachel is a dedicated and professional career transition coach who brings clarity and confidence to those navigating change. Her guidance is practical, empathetic, and truly impactful. Highly recommend her support to anyone seeking direction in their career.
Rachel is very bright and talented at what she does. With her coaching we were able to identify latent soft skills and articulate them from a different perspective from the how tech leaders identify and communicate their strengths and accomplishments. Rachel's ability to hone in on specific areas irrespective of domain makes her a gem in the industry.
My project was initially to get clarity in my present career as a Recruiter. Then during our sessions together, I've found out a dormant desire of mine to become a nutritionist. So, I opened up with her and she was happy to accommodate the changes in my process and quick to restructure our sessions together. Rachel is attentive, insightful, flexible, and I'd recommend her services for anyone who has a clear pathway in mind as well as someone like me who is in the midst. It's a game changer.
I had the privilege of working with Rachel Dias at a defining moment in my career: the move from a national company to a multinational. Her cultural and strategic guidance, along with full interview prep in English with complete mock sessions, made all the difference. Her support was decisive for my success. More than recommended, she's an essential partner for anyone looking to grow and win new opportunities, especially in international and multicultural environments.
Working with Rachel during my job search was truly a game changer. She's incredibly supportive, easy to talk to, and consistently offers thoughtful, practical advice. Her guidance helped me gain clarity and confidence during a time that can often feel overwhelming. After this experience, I honestly wouldn't go through a job search alone again. I highly recommend working with her!
Rachel's contribution to updating my professional profile was extremely valuable. Her recommendations brought my marketing skills forward in a clear, effective way. Highly recommend.
