Created by a Federal Executive Who's Mastered Every Career Milestone
Pitchloom was created by Arielle Baine, who understands the entire career journey from both perspectives: as a hiring manager who has conducted 50+ interviews, reviewed 2,000+ resumes, and built high-performing teams—and as someone who climbed from entry-level to federal executive in just 10 years through strategic preparation at every milestone.

Why This Dual Perspective Matters
I Know What Recruiters Look For
After reviewing 2,000+ resumes and conducting 50+ interviews, I know exactly what makes candidates stand out - and what raises red flags.
I've Walked the Entire Journey
From GS-7 to GS-15 in a decade, I used these exact frameworks to optimize my resume, ace interviews, negotiate promotions, and succeed in every new role from day one.
I Prioritize Ethics
As a federal executive responsible for national security, I believe in authentic preparation - not shortcuts that undermine your credibility.
"I created Pitchloom because I saw too many talented people struggle at critical career moments - not because they lacked skills, but because they lacked strategic frameworks. These proven methods helped me navigate every career milestone successfully, and they'll work for you too."
— Arielle Baine, Founder & Chief of Cybersecurity, CISA Region 3
We're the Anti-Cheating AI Platform
While others offer real-time interview assistance that crosses ethical lines, we prepare you to succeed authentically. No hidden earpieces. No secret prompts. Just genuine preparation.
Companies Are Cracking Down on AI Cheating
Amazon, Goldman Sachs, and Anthropic have banned real-time AI assistance during interviews. They're training recruiters to detect candidates who are reading from AI prompts, typing during interviews, or using tools like ChatGPT. Getting caught means automatic disqualification and potential blacklisting from future opportunities.
The Critical Difference
Real-Time AI Tools
Tools like Final Round AI ($148/month), LockedIn AI, Interview Copilot
- Live transcription during your actual interview
- Real-time answer suggestions while interviewer is talking
- Hidden teleprompter-style prompts
- Detectable by trained recruiters
- Violates company policies at Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Anthropic
- Risk: Automatic disqualification
Pitchloom (Ethical Prep)
Preparation platform, not real-time assistance
- Practice sessions before your interview
- Framework-based coaching (START, PSR, XPERT, PEEL, TEAL)
- Build genuine skills and authentic responses
- Zero risk of detection - you're genuinely prepared
- Complies with all company policies

Detection is Real
Amazon trains interviewers to spot AI use: candidates typing during questions, reading instead of responding naturally, or eyes wandering. Goldman Sachs explicitly warns students that ChatGPT use is prohibited.
Reputation Risk
Getting caught doesn't just cost you one job. It can damage your reputation with that company forever, impact future opportunities, and undermine your professional credibility in your industry.
Authentic Success
Real preparation builds skills that serve you throughout your career. You'll handle unexpected questions confidently, build genuine rapport, and earn positions you can excel in because you're truly qualified.
Join job seekers who prepare ethically and land offers authentically.
No hidden tricks. No policy violations. Just proven frameworks and genuine preparation.
