Explore What's Holding You Back

It's not you... it's them.

Hiring systems are now a gauntlet of obstacles and tricks that stopped 'seeing' people long ago. We are now left with a system that treats hiring like a dystopian contest instead of what it truly is... a relationship amongst a team.

The Problems We are Facing are Real

Regressing

Past, not Potential

  • You’ve outgrown résumé keywords that don’t show your real value.
  • You’ve built real skills that don’t fit into a degree field.
  • You’ve mastered things that no credential can describe.
  • You’ve watched your experience go unnoticed because it didn’t come from a classroom.
  • You’ve been screened out because you have too much experience.
  • You’ve seen less qualified people get promoted for talking about things instead of doing them.

You’ve discovered that no amount of ability can stand out in a system built to reward the past.

Unknowing

Chaos, not Clarity

  • You’ve spent hours perfecting applications that never get read.
  • You’ve been ghosted by recruiters and confused by vague rejection emails.
  • You’ve been told to “keep applying” when the position was already filled or already had 1,000+ applicants.
  • You’ve learned that clicks and traffic matter more than candidates.
  • You’ve started to question if effort still matters.

 

You’ve been navigating a system that values traffic over truth. Generating more haystacks and fewer needles.

Integrity

System, not Stories

  • You’ve wondered how many times your name, your age, or your gap cost you an interview.
  • You’ve wanted to learn from rejection, but there was nothing to learn from.
  • You’ve been evaluated by algorithms that never asked who you are.
  • You’ve played by the rules in a system that keeps changing them.
  • You watch others game the system as the only way to have a chance.

You’ve realized the process was never designed to understand you, just to categorize you.

What is LifeWork, and how is it different from a job board?

LifeWork isn’t just a place to find jobs — it’s a platform that helps you understand yourself, connect with opportunities that align with your skills, values, and goals, and grow through mentorship and capability-building.

It's a GPS for your life that helps you navigate real-time information and best adjust to the situation around you. Like a GPS, the platform helps keep you on target, making sure your actions are supporting the career you want to have, instead of getting stuck in traffic at a dead-end role.

What makes the LifeWork profile unique?

Your LifeWork profile is a unified persona, not just a résumé. It captures your career, education, volunteering, skills, and interests, then connects that data to opportunities that truly fit who you are and what you want next.

You connect to validation sources like transcripts, performance reviews, 3rd party validations and recommendations and even uses feedback from interviews to help you craft and grow your interactions. There will even be a variety of self-evaluations that you can explore to understand how you 'fit' with teams and hiring managers to give you an idea on which roles will be ideal, and which ones will be less ideal based on your working style and preferences.

You stay anonymous and focused on building a profile that is uniquely you, giving you a place to grow without the noise of social media.

 

How does LifeWork 'know me' well enough to get me an interview?

Great question, and probably the one that matters most.

If you’ve ever applied for a job and wondered whether anyone even saw your résumé, you’re not alone. Most people never make it past automated filters or keyword screens. The screening system is designed to reward talkers, not doers.

We built LifeWork to change that.

Instead of forcing you to keyword-match your own story into a system you didn’t design, LifeWork learns from what you’ve done, not just what you say about yourself. Your experiences, certifications, volunteering, skills, and even the way you learn all become part of your Explorer Persona, a living profile that reflects your capability and growth over time.

Here’s how that changes everything:

  • The evaluation happens out in the open.
    Instead of one or two recruiters manually reviewing hundreds of résumés behind closed doors, LifeWork’s matching engine makes your profile visible and comparable on the same terms as everyone else. The same criteria, the same transparency with no unconscious bias.

  • The focus shifts to doers.
    We don’t just scan for perfect phrasing or résumé buzzwords. We look for evidence of action like the projects you’ve completed, the tools you’ve used and the outcomes you’ve created. You don’t have to be a wordsmith to show your worth.

  • The same engine powers everyone.
    Recruiters, Explorers, and partners all use the same evaluation system — meaning no one is guessing what the “right answer” looks like. The playing field finally levels out.

  • We see the whole you.
    You’re more than your job title. LifeWork factors in your interests, education, side projects, community work, and personality traits that make you effective — not just employable.

So, how do we “know” you?
Because we look at your real footprint — what you’ve built, done, contributed to, and learned — and let that story speak for itself.

The result?
You’re not competing to say the right words. You’re being seen for the right reasons.
