About Vitae Outreach

What Vitae Outreach is

Vitae Outreach is a career advisory firm for graduates going into finance. We advise clients on landing roles by reaching hiring decision-makers directly, rather than applying through job boards, backed by a guarantee of a paid offer in their target field within 28 days. Our clients recruit wherever they have the right to work.

How the firm started

Vitae Outreach was founded by Luke Stone (LinkedIn). Luke watched everyone around him funnel applications into the same portals and wait. He tried a different route and wrote directly to the people who ran the firms he wanted to join. Doing that, he landed 15 offers in a single year across investment banking, consulting, fintech and creative industries, and none of them came through a job portal. Friends started asking how he did it, then friends of friends, and the firm grew out of teaching the approach properly. He has since advised over 50 clients who have gone on to land offers the same way.

What we believe

Job boards are a queue. Hundreds of people apply for the same role, screening software reads the CVs, and almost everyone gets silence. We think the way out is to leave the queue. The people who make hiring decisions still read their own inboxes, and a thoughtful message from someone who has done their homework gets attention a portal application never will. Many of the best roles our clients land are at boutique finance firms that never advertise at all. None of this requires connections or a famous university. It requires going direct, doing it well, and doing it consistently, and that is what we advise clients through.

How we work

Every engagement starts with a free strategy call. We go through your situation, tell you honestly whether we can help, and only take you on as a client if we believe we can get you an offer. Clients then work with us through Career Accelerator: weekly live group calls, direct feedback on your CV and on the outreach you are actually sending, a tested playbook for finding boutique finance firms and reaching the people who run them, and a private group of clients going after the same thing. The research, the writing and the sending run on software we built ourselves, so nobody is grinding out emails by hand. That is what keeps the work down to around 2 hours a week, spent on the conversations that come back.
