• 👋 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. • 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.
• 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. • Empathy, curiosity, and strong active listening skills • Experience with coaching or guiding others through performance, career growth, or transitions • Comfort with tech: Google Meet, Slack, Docs, and willingness to explore new tools • Availability for bi-weekly capability calls (30 mins) • Interest in AI, the future of work, and building people-first transitions • A values-aligned mindset—especially around equity, dignity, and inclusion
• Part-Time | Remote | Contractor (1099) • $50/hour for client-facing coaching • 10% commission on partner referrals: We grow through trusted referrals, and we believe in sharing that value with you. For example, if you introduce a company to Respiris that signs a $15,000 contract, you’ll earn $1,500 after payment clears.
