Testimonial
Success Stories
See how others got hired through the portal
"I uploaded my profile on Monday. By Friday, three different employers had contacted me. I had interviews scheduled for the next week. I accepted a retail management traineeship that starts next month. The portal actually works."
"Instead of 'tell me about your skills,' interviews started with 'I can see you're already certified in numeracy and communication—tell me about yourself.' It completely changed the dynamic. I felt respected from the start."
"A business I'd never heard of found my profile and reached out. Turns out they were exactly what I was looking for. I wouldn't have found them through normal job boards. Best surprise ever."
