The bar we hold

What we look for

Our clients are career-serious professionals who expect exceptional guidance. The coaches we accept match that standard in every dimension.

Deep professional experience

Minimum 10 years of real-world career history in your coaching domain — industry credibility your clients can feel from day one.

A proven methodology

You have a repeatable coaching framework that consistently produces measurable outcomes — not just good instincts, but a reliable system.

Documented client outcomes

Promotions secured, offers landed, pivots successfully made. We look for coaches whose clients achieve verifiable, specific results.

Certification preferred

ICF, BCC, or equivalent credentials are a strong signal — but not a hard requirement. Proven outcomes carry more weight than letters alone.

Meaningful availability

Accepted coaches commit to capacity for at least 5 active clients per week. We match volume you can actually absorb and serve well.

Common questions

Before you apply

Answers to what coaches most often want to know before submitting.

Do I need a coaching certification to apply?

Certification is preferred but not required. Credentials from ICF, BCC, or equivalent bodies strengthen your application — but coaches with exceptional track records and documented client outcomes are regularly accepted without them.

How many clients will I receive?

We match you based on your stated availability. Coaches who commit to 5+ clients per week typically build a full book within 4–6 weeks of going live. Volume grows as your profile accumulates reviews and outcomes data.

What coaching specialties do you currently need?

We actively seek coaches specializing in executive leadership, career transition, job search strategy, salary negotiation, interview preparation, and return-to-work. We consider all specialties year-round.

Can I coach for Realign while maintaining my own private practice?

Yes. Many of our coaches maintain a private practice alongside their Realign client load. The only requirement is that you honor your committed weekly availability for matched clients.

How does pay work?

Coaches set session rates within a competitive range aligned with their experience tier. Realign handles all billing, collections, and payment — you receive direct deposits on a biweekly basis.

What happens after I submit?

Our team reviews applications on a rolling basis. You'll hear from us within 5–7 business days — either with next steps for a video interview or a note if there isn't a fit right now.

The network is selective for a reason

Your clients deserve a world-class coach. So does your practice.
