Arno spent years inside the international recruiting machinery before he started dismantling it. The Reverse Recruitment Method™ is what he built in its place — a system that gives senior leaders the access, the documents, and the campaign architecture that recruiters keep for themselves.
For nearly two decades, Arno has worked at the intersection of recruiting and executive branding — first inside international search, then as the founder of iCareerSolutions. He has personally architected or overseen more than 1,000 senior placements and promotions, from rising directors to public-company CFOs.
His work has been recognized 32 times by the three most credible bodies in the executive resume industry: Career Directors International (CDI/TORI), the National Resume Writers' Association (NRWA/ROAR), and the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches (PARW&CC). He sits on the NRWA Board of Directors.
In 2021, he formalized what clients had been quietly hiring him to do for years: a transparent, end-to-end system he called Reverse Recruitment. Instead of polishing a résumé and hoping it reaches the right desk, the method targets specific companies, decision-makers, and warm paths — then engineers the brand, the documents, and the conversations that turn that targeting into offers.
The current data: a 97% first-interview rate across active engagements, with first interviews typically landed inside the first few weeks of the campaign.
Job-search systems weren't built for senior leaders. ATS filters were designed for high-volume hiring; LinkedIn's algorithm rewards repetition over substance; recruiters work for the buyer, not for you. Arno's work is to invert that — to put a senior leader in the position recruiters and hiring committees would otherwise occupy, with the brand assets and outreach discipline to back it up.
He works personally with a deliberately small portfolio of Director-to-C-suite clients each quarter. The rest of iCareerSolutions' senior team — also award-winning — executes alongside him.
“The market for senior talent is not efficient. It is opaque, slow, and biased toward whoever shows up with the cleanest narrative. My job is to make sure that's you.”
Awarded by Career Directors International (CDI / TORI), the National Resume Writers' Association (NRWA / ROAR), and the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches (PARW&CC) — the three bodies that actually credential this industry.
