Pivoting
A career change shouldn’t mean starting over. Get matched to employers who want it — and a place to build a track record in the new domain.
Support for senior professionals changing careers — out of passion or market necessity, not just staying in their existing lane. A pivoter isn't folded into the normal Verified Expert candidate pool as-is: an employer searching for "senior software engineers" shouldn't see a 15-year finance veteran with zero coding background just because their years of experience qualify. Instead, three platforms work together:
1. Tag it on DeepEdge
Verified Experts can tag themselves as pivoting — from domain, to domain, and a note — on their profile. Employers can then opt individual job postings into "open to career changers," and only pivoter-tagged candidates can apply to those roles without also matching the domain on paper.
