Joshua Sciascia — Founder
I'm a published author, operations leader with 20+ years of experience, but none of that mattered when I submitted 1,500 resumes in 2025-2026. I got a handful of interviews. Zero job offers. Not because I lack skills. Not because I can't do the work. But because my resume doesn't fit the algorithm. That's when I realized: the hiring system is fundamentally broken. So I wrote a book about it—"Beyond the Resume" (now available on Amazon)—and I built a solution: Itinera, a platform that tests what you can actually DO, not what's on your resume. --- **What I Do:** As a Senior Director of Operations, I've spent two decades building high-performing teams, managing $50M+ project portfolios, and driving organizational transformation. I've experienced hiring from both sides: as a leader who built teams and as a skilled professional overlooked by algorithms. This dual perspective drives everything I do at Itinera. **What I'm Fixing:** The broken hiring system that forces qualified people to send hundreds of resumes and still get rejected by algorithms. A system where 75% of qualified candidates never make it past the ATS. Where companies lose 1.5-2X an employee's salary on bad hires. Where it takes 5 months and 100-200 applications to find a job. **How I'm Fixing It:** Itinera uses the StarBridge Method™ to test problem-solving and resourcefulness through real scenarios—not credentials. We match people with opportunities based on what they can DO, not what they claim. And we advocate for candidates directly to companies, eliminating the resume black hole entirely. --- **My Book: "Beyond the Resume"** Available now on Amazon. Discover why traditional hiring is broken and how skills-based assessment is the future of work. **Let's Connect:** Whether you're a job seeker tired of being overlooked, an employer tired of bad hires, or an investor interested in transforming a $500B industry—I'd love to hear from you. 📧 info@itinera.vip | 🌐 itinera.vip | 📖 Amazon: "Beyond the Resume" Let's fix hiring together.
