Our Mission
Empower people with the information and tools to achieve their career aspirations.
Currently people make career decisions with little knowledge about all their career options and longer term implications. Zippia is changing that.
Our vision is that every person should have access to all their career options and how those various paths will impact their professional lives. Zippia extracts intelligence from real world experiences to provide the best information and tools for people to achieve their career plans.
Our Story
We, the founders of Zippia, have hired hundreds of people during our professional lives. We realized that quite often, people don’t know much about their career options, and how to change or advance their career. While we tried our best to mentor them, it was frustrating to know that there were still millions of people out there who we couldn’t help.
And then we noticed something else: The internet can answer almost any of our questions today – how to build a house, how to buy a car, or how to find love. But even though choosing a career is one of the most important decisions of our life, there is very little reliable guidance available online.
This is why we decided to build a platform that gives everybody the tools to find the career that is right for them.
We gathered experts in the fields of technology, marketing, and engineering who were passionate about improving career outcomes for everyone. And finally, in May 2015, we founded Zippia. We believe that everyone should be able to make career decisions with their eyes wide open. That’s why we’ve built the most intelligent and personalized resource for your career questions.
Automated Career Mentorship
Zippia democratizes access to every aspect of the job search process, from finding open positions to eventually negotiating a job offer.
We aggregate over a million open job postings each month and combine them with our proprietary data on salaries, companies, and job-based metrics to provide personal guidance on applying to jobs.
Once you find the job you want, our resume builder will help optimize your resume for the specific opportunity. And if you need help drafting a cover letter, preparing for an interview, negotiating a job offer, or any other career-related topic, our library of over 1000 job search advice articles has you covered.
Zippia also offers up-to-date salary information based on location, industry, experience, and education level so you don’t have to go into salary negotiations blind.
