Job Search Coach (Marketplace Partner)

Before You Begin...this is portfolio income, not a full-time job. Respiris coaching is ideal for founders, freelancers, consultants, etc. who want to earn supplemental income while making a meaningful impact. It will not replace a full-time W-2 salary, nor is it likely to lead to a full-time role. If you’re building your own business, working fractional, or want purpose-driven, flexible work - this is for you. Help Us Reinspire Transitions — One Coaching Session at a Time. We’re looking for people who are building something: a company, a portfolio, a purpose. Joining Respiris means becoming part of a founder-led, community-powered marketplace that's reimagining outplacement. Most traditional providers rely on compliance-first, checkbox operations. Respiris is different. We’re rooted in deep empathy, AI-enabled tools, and human connection. We help real people navigate job loss, and we do it with heart. As a job search coach in the Respiris marketplace, you’ll have the autonomy to coach our way, while also gaining access to a supportive ecosystem of tools, peers, and opportunities to grow. What We’re Building Respiris exists to ensure no one navigates a job loss alone. Founded in 2024 by Angel Cruzado, a former Head of HR who has both led and lived through layoffs, Respiris built a coaching marketplace, where impacted employees receive structured, empathetic support at scale. At the heart of our approach is the Career Prayer™—a reflective framework that guides clients to answer: “Where have I been? Where am I now? Where do I want to go?” Through storytelling, structure, and strategy, we help people find clarity and build confidence as they move forward. Where We Are Now Respiris currently partners with private companies (mostly VC- and PE-backed). We’re preparing to 10x our footprint and that starts with expanding our coaching marketplace. Important Note: You may not be matched with clients for up to 3–6 months. This is a flexible, fractional opportunity—ideal for building your coaching practice while staying connected to a values-aligned peer community. In addition to ongoing peer-driven learning opportunities, you can earn referral commissions.
