👋 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.
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.
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.
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.
As a Respiris Job Search Coach, you’ll guide clients through a 90-day, 10-session journey that blends empathy, tools, and action. This includes:
Our selection process is designed to be interactive and community-focused:
Requirements
You’ve lived through transition: either as an impacted employee, relative of someone impacted by layoff, leading a layoff, or rebuilding after a major personal change (e.g. burnout, divorce, health event, etc.). As a result, you’re ready to help others do the same.
Most importantly, you’ve lived through transition and are ready to support others with empathy and clarity.
You’ve likely earned a four-year college degree and have a bias for action, reflection, and human connection.
We onboard new coaches on a rolling basis.
