Human review. Not automated rejection.
Something better than a resume black hole is here. Get honest, 1:1 HR-backed guidance from someone who's actually sat on both sides of the hiring table: reviewing resumes and coaching candidates. No AI. No cookie-cutter advice. No form-letter rejections.
Free 20-minute consult · Free resume review · No obligation
Your resume gets scanned by software before a human ever sees it, and most never make it out the other side.
Cookie-cutter templates and chatbot feedback that make every resume sound identically robotic, and identically forgettable.
"We've decided to move forward with other candidates." No reason. No feedback. No person behind it.
VAST HR exists because you deserve better than a black box. You deserve a conversation.
How it works
We talk through where you're stuck: the search, the resume, the interviews and figure out, together, what actually needs to change.
I read your resume myself, line by line, and tell you honestly what's helping you, what's hurting you, and why.
Ongoing resume, interview, or LinkedIn coaching built around your actual goals, not a generic package.

About Stephanie
With a decade in HR and recruiting plus a background in psychotherapy, I understand both the human side of career transitions and the hard realities of what hiring managers actually want. That combination is rare, and it's exactly what mid-career professionals need when they're ready to level up.
I earned my MSW from The Ohio State University and worked as a psychotherapist until burnout hit. Hard. So I went back to school for my Master's in Human Resource Management at Webster University, determined to be on the constructive side of how organizations treat their people.
After grad school, I might have been the last person in my cohort to land a placement. Less than six months later, I was top 10 in the entire company. I pitched my boss on a new recruiting approach, trained my team on it, then scaled it company-wide. They still use my methods today.
I've spent a decade in human resources and recruiting across Fortune 500 companies, healthcare organizations, and tech and construction firms. I understand strategy, compliance, onboarding, and performance management. Most importantly, I've sat on both sides of the table: I know what gets you hired, what gets you promoted, and what holds you back.
Whether you're negotiating your first six-figure offer, pivoting industries, or finally ready to advocate for yourself, I help you see around corners and cut through the noise of today's job market with strategies that actually work.
My favorite part of recruiting has always been calling someone to tell them they got the job. The excitement, the relief, the possibility in that moment never gets old.
Now I get to do that for you, but instead of one role, I help you build a career trajectory that fits who you actually are and where you're genuinely headed.
What clients say
"Working with Stephanie was terrific. I sent her my resume and the next day she called me and we went over, in-depth, my work history, skills, experience, talents, etc. She took them and rewrote my resume and really made it stand out. She highlighted skills that I took for granted, too, showing me that I wasn't putting my best foot forward when I was applying to jobs in the past. I really felt like she was giving me 110%. So what was the result? 2 weeks later I got a new job with a huge bump in salary!!! I can't be happier with Stephanie and VAST HR. I have recommended her to my friends and you will, too, after you've worked with her."
"I HIGHLY recommend Stephanie Welt for anyone looking to truly elevate their resume and stand out in today's competitive job market. Working with Stephanie was a great experience from start to finish. She brings a unique blend of HR expertise, strategic insight, and personal care to the resume writing process. Stephanie took the time to understand not just my career history, but also my goals, strengths, and the unique value I bring to employers. Her approach went far beyond simply updating job titles and descriptions—instead, she crafted a resume that powerfully highlighted my impact and achievements. The final product was not just professionally written, but most importantly: tailored to reflect who I am and what I offer. Throughout the process, Stephanie was responsive, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable about what recruiters and employers look for. Her experience in HR and talent acquisition truly sets her apart—she knows how to present your skills and accomplishments in a way that gets you noticed. If you want a resume that opens doors and showcases your true potential, I cannot recommend Stephanie's services enough. Her expertise and genuine commitment to her clients' success make her an invaluable resource for any job seeker."
"10/10! Yes! Thank you! Efficient, honest guidance that helped me reshape my outdated resume and prepare me to shine for both AI and human eyes! She shared SO much knowledge and I feel so confident and proud of how my years of accomplishments and skills were able to be showcased. I have a specialist graduate degree and am an expert in my field, and still… this was only possible with her help. I have recommended Stephanie to friends and family, anyone and everyone who is going through a transition or wanting more from their career. She really, truly cares about helping people and will not let you down. You owe it to yourself to put your best foot forward during this important time in your life."
