Ditch the Job Boards: Loren Greiff on Landing Roles in the Hidden Job Market

Tired of sending out dozens of résumés and hearing crickets? In this game-changing episode of The Forbes Factor, I sit down with Loren Greiff, founder of PortfolioRocket, and a true disruptor in the career space. With over 25 years in top-tier creative and recruiting roles—including VP at J. Walter Thompson and consultant at Korn Ferry—Loren knows firsthand that the job search system is broken. Now, she’s on a mission to help high-performing creatives, marketers, UX designers, and product leaders skip the job boards and land roles they never even knew existed. Her proprietary system helps clients tap into the 80–85% of jobs hidden from public view—without relying on recruiters or outdated tactics. In this episode, Loren shares exactly why applying online doesn’t work, how to articulate your value without sounding like everyone else, and why your credentials alone aren’t enough. If you’re feeling stuck, underpaid, or simply done with being passed over, this conversation will give you the tools and clarity to take back control of your career—on your terms. 🎯 Whether you’re job hunting, pivoting industries, or just tired of being underchallenged, this episode is your wake-up call to stop playing small—and start getting strategic.
