About Realign

We Believe Everyone Deserves a Career That Fits

Most people face career uncertainty without a mentor, a sponsor, or anyone who knows their industry. Realign exists to give every professional access to the caliber of guidance that top executives and elite athletes have always had.

Our mission

Democratizing the guidance that changes careers

Career uncertainty is the default state for most professionals, because most never had access to someone who could show them the path.

The people who land extraordinary careers usually had a mentor who opened a door, a sponsor who advocated for them, or an advisor who told them early what to do. That guidance has always been unequally distributed.

Realign was built to close that gap. We recruit and certify coaches who have spent careers inside the industries they serve: people who have sat in hiring rooms, led teams, and made the transitions themselves. Then we match them with professionals who have never had that kind of access.

How we vet coaches

Less than 1% accepted, and why that matters

Most coaching platforms accept anyone willing to pay a listing fee. We built the opposite: a five-stage vetting process that most applicants do not pass.

01

Application review

Coaches submit a detailed application covering their credentials, methodology, client outcomes, and professional background. We read every word.

02

Credential verification

We independently verify coaching certifications, industry experience, and employment history. Self-reported data is not accepted.

03

Live coaching simulation

Every candidate completes a recorded coaching session with a trained evaluator. We assess presence, listening depth, and their ability to move a client forward.

04

Outcome panel review

A senior panel reviews client outcomes (interview rates, offer rates, career milestone data) before any coach is approved.

05

Ongoing performance monitoring

Acceptance is not permanent. We track client satisfaction and outcomes continuously. Coaches who fall below our standards are removed.

Every coach in our network has cleared all five stages. Acceptance is not permanent: we monitor outcomes continuously and remove coaches who do not maintain our standards.

Our commitment

We track outcomes, not just satisfaction

Feeling good about a session is not the same as moving forward. We built our platform to measure interviews scheduled, offers received, and careers changed.

  • Clients report interview rates within 90 days, and we aggregate and publish that data
  • Every engagement is followed by an outcome survey as well as a satisfaction rating
  • Coaches are evaluated on whether their clients progress
  • Our 100% satisfaction guarantee covers your first session: full refund within 48 hours, no questions
  • Coaches who fall below our outcome thresholds are removed from the platform

100% Satisfaction Guarantee

Complete your first session. If it was not worth it, we will refund your investment in full within 48 hours, no questions asked.

Our story

Built by people who lived the problem

Realign started as a question.

The founding team came from careers in executive development, talent science, and senior hiring. They had seen, up close, how a single conversation with the right person could redirect a career, and how rarely most people got access to that conversation.

They had also seen the coaching industry from the other side: flooded with generalists, hard to sort through, and built around activity rather than outcomes. Paying for coaching was a gamble.

Realign was built to solve both problems at once: a rigorous vetting process that keeps the network elite, a matching approach that replaces the gamble with precision, and an outcome guarantee that puts the platform's credibility on the line alongside the client's time.

The mission has not changed: give every professional access to the guidance that changes careers.

Leadership

The standard comes from the top

Realign is led by Chris Beaver, who has spent more than fifteen years building companies around one thing: giving executives access to the right advice at the right moment. He co-founded AdvisoryCloud, the platform thousands of executives use to serve on company advisory boards, and helped build ExecSense, the C-suite learning platform, from concept through its acquisition by Pearson and the Financial Times.

That work meant sitting with thousands of executives as they weighed their next move, and watching the same pattern repeat: the people who handle change best never do it alone. They have an experienced advisor in the room. Realign exists to make that advantage available to every professional.

It shapes how the company runs. Coach vetting stays under 1% acceptance no matter how fast the bench could grow. Matching is treated as the product, not a directory. And every engagement carries a full satisfaction guarantee, because the standard executives expect from their advisors is the standard your coaching should inherit.

“I've spent my career watching leaders make their best moves with someone experienced in their corner. Nobody should have to build a career alone.”

Our values

What we stand for

Access is equity

Top-tier career guidance has historically belonged to those with the right connections. We are changing that.

Outcomes over activity

We do not measure success in sessions delivered. We measure it in jobs secured, promotions earned, and clarity found.

Honesty above comfort

Our coaches tell clients what they need to hear. Progress starts with an honest picture.

Match quality above all

A mediocre coach is worse than no coach. We would rather decline a client than send them to someone who is not the right fit.

Growth never stops

We hold our coaches to ongoing development. Methods that worked five years ago may not work today, and we expect coaches to evolve.

We win when you win

Our satisfaction guarantee is how we are structured. Your outcome is our outcome.

Questions

Things people usually want to know

How is Realign different from a traditional coaching marketplace?

Most marketplaces list whoever pays to be there. We recruit, vet, and curate every coach, and we remove coaches who do not sustain strong client outcomes. You are matched by people who know the coaches personally.

What does your 100% satisfaction guarantee mean?

If you complete your first coaching session and do not feel it was worth it, we will refund your investment in full within 48 hours, no questions asked. We can offer this because our acceptance rate is under 1%.

How long does the matching process take?

Most clients are matched within one to two business days. A team member reviews your goals, stage, and preferences before making a recommendation.

Do your coaches specialize in specific industries?

Yes. Our network spans technology, finance, healthcare, legal, marketing, sales, engineering, and more. When you get matched, we consider your industry, your target level, and the specific challenge you are facing.

Who founded Realign, and why?

Realign was founded by a team with deep roots in career development, executive coaching, and talent assessment. It is led by CEO Chris Beaver, who spent 15+ years building executive-advisory platforms before Realign, co-founding AdvisoryCloud and helping build ExecSense through its acquisition by Pearson and the Financial Times. Having watched thousands of executives lean on trusted advisors for their biggest moves, the team built Realign to give everyone access to that caliber of guidance.
