Elite Career Accelerator – Private Career Advisory
Private strategic career advisory for experienced professionals ready to take control of their direction, value and next move.
The Elite Career Accelerator is a 12-month private advisory engagement for experienced professionals who want clarity, confidence and momentum in their career — not another job-search programme.
This is not about applying for more roles or polishing a CV.
It is about working one-to-one with James Foster to define where your career is really going, articulate the value you bring at a senior level, and make deliberate, confident decisions about your next step — whether that’s a role, a transition, or a repositioning of your expertise.
Over 12 months, we work together as strategic partners. The focus is not on ticking boxes or following templates, but on doing whatever is required to move your career forward.
If you’re at a point where your career needs direction, authority and intent, this is where that work happens.
What You Achieve Through the Elite Career Accelerator
Strategic Clarity, Authority and Control Over Your Career
The Elite Career Accelerator is designed for professionals who don’t just need more advice — they need clarity, confidence and a decisive path forward.
Over 12 weeks of private advisory, we work together to bring structure and intent to your career, so you are no longer reacting to opportunities — you are creating and choosing them.
Clarity of Career Direction
Gain absolute clarity on where your career is going — and why.
We strip away noise, expectations and momentum from past decisions so you can clearly see what success looks like now, at this stage of your life and career.
You leave with a defined direction that makes sense, feels right, and gives you confidence to move forward.
A Clear Definition of Value
Develop a precise understanding of the value you create and where it is most relevant.
You learn how your experience, strengths and judgement translate into real impact — and how to articulate that value with authority, without exaggeration or self-promotion.
This becomes the foundation for every decision, conversation and opportunity that follows.
Confidence to Execute Change
Move forward decisively, without hesitation or second-guessing.
With clarity and value defined, execution becomes deliberate rather than reactive. You gain confidence in making and acting on significant career decisions.
You know when to stay, when to move, when to pivot — and how to execute change in a way that is intentional and aligned with the life you want to build.
Trust in Our Expertise
I'm James, and at Careers Matter, I work with experienced professionals as a strategic partner in shaping what comes next in their career.
With over two decades running a recruitment business, alongside experience in technology, programme management and building teams, I've seen careers and hiring from both sides of the table.
That experience allows me to challenge your thinking, uncover the value you really bring, and help you make deliberate decisions about where you want your career to go.
Together, we develop and execute a bespoke strategy that gives you greater clarity, confidence and control over the next phase of your career.
Jim was always helpful, clear and on time with the information and support I needed to perform at my best as a potential employee. Now that I am successfully placed within the company, it has also been confirmed that he is very well regarded internally for these same qualities.
Jim has continued to follow up to make sure I am settling in well. I really valued his support throughout the process and would certainly work with Jim again in the future.
