Outplacement Career Coach

Overview

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. 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.

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  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.

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.
