Our story
In 2019, our founder Elena Vasquez spent a decade on the hiring side of the table as an HR director at a Fortune 500 tech company. She reviewed thousands of resumes — and watched brilliant candidates get rejected because their documents failed to communicate their value.
She noticed a pattern: the candidates who got interviews weren't always the most qualified. They were the ones whose resumes told a compelling story of impact. The cover letters that stood out weren't generic — they connected experience to specific company needs with precision and personality.
Frustrated by the resume industry's reliance on templates and outsourcing, Elena started Quill & Summit as a boutique alternative. What began as a one-writer operation has grown into a team of six certified career strategists who've helped over 2,400 professionals across 40+ industries land roles they love.
We don't use templates. We don't outsource. We don't use AI to write your documents. Every resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile is written by hand, researched for your target role, and refined until it feels unmistakably yours.
