Brand Yourself to Get Hired | Kareem Rogers on Career Strategy, LinkedIn & Standing Out

In this Founders Future episode, Kareem Rogers, founder of The Fit Recruiter, shares how job seekers and ambitious professionals can stop getting overlooked and start positioning themselves as must-hire candidates in today’s competitive, AI-driven job market . Kareem launched his business during the height of COVID after graduating from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and facing the same hiring freezes and rejection cycles as thousands of other graduates. By learning resume strategy, LinkedIn optimization, and personal branding firsthand and landing his own role through those methods — Kareem turned his frustration into a scalable career coaching business. Today, Kareem works primarily with mid-level to executive professionals who are ambitious, underpaid, or under-positioned. As both an in-house recruiter and career coach, he offers a rare dual perspective — understanding exactly what recruiters look for and how candidates must market themselves to stand out. His work goes far beyond resumes, focusing on the full job search process: branding, storytelling, confidence, and strategy. This conversation explores career ownership, organic brand building on LinkedIn, balancing entrepreneurship with a full-time role, and why clarity and positioning matter more than qualifications alone. What You’ll Learn: Why most qualified candidates still get rejected How to brand yourself so recruiters notice you immediately Why job searching is a process — not just a resume rewrite How LinkedIn optimization leads to inbound opportunities The advantage of working with a coach who is also a recruiter Why Kareem is shifting toward premium, high-impact clients How to balance a full-time job while building a service business _____ Follow us on LinkedIn:   / foundersfuture   Listen to us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2UNPGOl...
