About

I’m the Co-Founder of CareerGuard, the platform proving that CVs are dead. We help employers attract, assess, and hire early and experienced careers talent through skills-based assessments and modern talent profiles, not outdated resumes. What started as a career content hub has evolved into a full-service hiring solution: • A next-gen job board built for skills-first hiring • SkillScreening: A test library of 400+ pre-employment assessments across tech, marketing, finance, sales, retail and more. These tests cover cognitive ability, problem-solving, behavioural fit, and job-specific skills • SkillSnaps: Pinterest-style boards where candidates showcase projects, portfolios, and proof of ability beyond a test score and where employers can invite talent to complete as part of their application • An integrated ATS with dashboards and detailed reporting to help hiring teams manage candidates, benchmark performance, and make faster, fairer decisions With CareerGuard, employers can screen talent by what they can actually do. Candidates build dynamic talent profiles that combine SkillScreens and SkillSnaps, empowering them to demonstrate their readiness for roles and stand out, especially in early career hiring where potential matters more than pedigree. We’re passionate about social mobility, equity, and the future of work. To date, CareerGuard has reached over 25,000+ Gen Z and Millennial professionals through our community, newsletter, and growing talent pool, making career education, opportunity, and access more inclusive. Ditch the CV. Hire for skills, not pedigree.

Careerguard

Co-Founder

Jan 2024Present · 2 yrs 5 mos

  • CareerGuard is skills-based hiring software designed for early careers and mid-level professionals.
  • In a world flooded with AI-generated applications, spotting genuine potential is harder than ever. CareerGuard empowers employers to identify, assess, and hire candidates based on proven skills, not just polished resumes.
  • Our platform streamlines the entire hiring process, from job postings and talent discovery to embedding custom skills assessments and seamless ATS integration. We focus on what truly matters: real ability, performance, and character traits like curiosity and resilience, not just what candidates say on paper or prestige markers like what university or school they went to.
  • With our detailed SkillSnaps Talent Profiles, you get a skills-first view of every candidate, uncovering potential that traditional hiring often misses. The result? A fairer, more inclusive hiring process that opens the talent pool, reduces bias, and leads to better, smarter hires.
  • Hire for skills. Hire for potential. Hire with CareerGuard.
