Outplacement is chosen by your employer. The coach assigned may have never worked in tech. Onwarding is chosen by you — and every coach has navigated the tech pivot you're about to make.
| Provider | Gap |
|---|---|
| BetterUp / Ezra | Enterprise-only, $15K+ contracts, no individual access |
| Noomii / LifeCoachHub | Generalist directories, no tech filtering, no outcome data |
| AI resume tools | Optimize documents, not decisions |
| INTOO / LHH outplacement | Employer-funded, you don't choose your coach |
| Onwarding | Tech-vertical, individual access, matched by situation, outcomes tracked |
Six specialized coaching tracks. One matches your exact situation.
You're technically excellent. You're also exhausted.
You don't need a new job. You need to know whether you want the same career at all. Coaches in this track specialize in identity reframing and narrative translation — from technical depth to adjacent roles that actually fit.
→ Product, Consulting, AI/ML, Founding
Your skills cross every industry. Nobody's helping you see that.
You were laid off in a middle-management restructuring. Your cross-functional experience is more portable than you realize — but translating it requires a coach who's made the same move.
→ Strategy Consulting, Cross-industry PM, Ops Leadership
You see the 367% demand wave coming. You want to get ahead of it.
You're not necessarily displaced — you're moving proactively. Coaches here specialize in certification roadmapping, resume repositioning, and landing in specialized security roles before the hiring window gets crowded.
→ Security Analyst, Cloud Security, Compliance
AI is reshaping your role. You're not sure which direction to run.
You know the automation is coming — or already here. That anxiety is expensive when it's directionless. Coaches in this track specialize in skills audits, career clarity, and finding roles that AI is creating, not eliminating.
→ AI Operations, Human-in-the-Loop, Product Ops
The data center boom is here. Your skills are exactly what's needed.
AI infrastructure is exploding and employers can't find people fast enough. Your background maps directly — but the market moves fast and the narrative isn't obvious. Coaches here know this space and can position you precisely.
→ Data Center Ops, AI Infra, Cloud Networking
You've built systems for governments. Private-sector hiring feels like a foreign language.
DOGE cuts sent thousands of IT professionals into a private-sector hiring market they haven't touched in a decade. Coaches in this track specialize in federal-to-commercial translation: resume format, culture shift, and negotiation from scratch.
→ Private-sector IT, Healthcare Tech, Financial Services
A structured path, not a list of tips.
Identify your pivot archetype. We narrow down which of six tech-specific transition tracks describes your situation — not just your title.
Within 48 hours, we surface three coaches who specialize in your exact situation — with verified outcome data from past clients in your archetype.
Your matched coach builds a concrete action plan — target roles, narrative, outreach strategy. No generic advice. Specific to your background and target destination.
Execute with accountability. We track outcomes — salary change, time-to-offer, archetype-specific data — so future clients know exactly what they're buying.
We track outcomes. Here's what coaches in our network report.
"3 of my last 5 clients landed cybersecurity roles within 90 days of our first session."
"Average salary increase of $22K across my tech-to-PM transitions in 2025. The narrative work is what moves the number."
"Federal tech clients are some of the most coachable people I've worked with. They just need someone who speaks both languages."
Every track has coaches who've made that exact move.
78,557 tech workers laid off in Q1 2026 alone. They're motivated, financially ready, and actively searching for a specialist — not a generalist. Onwarding is how they find you.
