Why Flat98

A career rarely fits neatly into a search box.

International moves, career transitions, unfamiliar job titles, time away from paid employment, and experience gained in another market can make an accomplished professional look less obvious on paper than they are in practice. We think hiring should leave room for context.

Experience over keywords

We look at what you have actually done and what that experience may allow you to do next.

Curation over volume

We would rather show you fewer opportunities worth considering than thousands you have to filter yourself.

Context over assumptions

Professional paths are not always linear. We try to understand the story behind the résumé.

Our Commitment

Your experience is considered on its merits.

Joining the Talent Community is free. Candidate Membership gives you structured resources for career planning, and the Career Diagnostic provides individual assessment and practical guidance.

Employer introductions are based on experience, opportunity fit and mutual interest.

Talent Community

Become more than a résumé in a database.

The Talent Community is designed to help Flat98 understand who you are professionally and where meaningful alignment may exist.

01

Introduce yourself

Spend about three minutes telling us about your experience, professional interests, and where you may be open to working.

02

Give us context

Optionally share your CV and tell us something about your professional story that may not be obvious from it.

03

Stay open to alignment

If we identify an employer or opportunity where your background may warrant a closer look, we may contact you first to explore whether you are interested.

We contact you to discuss potential employer alignment and ask your permission before sharing your professional profile or CV.

Fictional illustration · One story from the worksheet

Target requirement
Coordinate program delivery and keep participant information reliable.
Situation
In this invented scenario, a learning team used inconsistent registration records, making handovers difficult.
My responsibility
I maintained the registration record and coordinated missing information with colleagues. Program approval remained with the program lead.
My action
I brought the records into one shared format, added a checklist for outstanding information and agreed a handover routine.
Result
The team used a common record and handover routine. I would establish how the process changed their work before claiming improved accuracy or time saved.
Evidence to establish
My responsibility for the change, a non-confidential description of the process, colleague confirmation where appropriate, and any records that substantiate the outcome.
Short application version
Introduced a shared registration record and handover checklist, giving the learning team a consistent way to track outstanding information.
Interview detail
Explain why the records differed, how I agreed the new process, what I personally delivered and what remained the program lead’s responsibility.

Before using the story: confirm that ownership is accurate, the example addresses the role requirement, any figures can be substantiated and confidential details have been removed.

The free Translate Your Experience guide helps you work through one contribution and two possible directions. Candidate Membership extends the work through three evidence stories, a comparison of three role directions and a focused outreach plan. Each worksheet includes a review checkpoint.

Career Diagnostic

Sometimes the question isn't “Where are the jobs?”

Sometimes it is: What should I be looking for?

The Career Diagnostic is designed for professionals who want deeper clarity about how their experience translates, what capabilities they may be underusing, where their background could fit, and how to move forward intentionally.

Candidate Membership helps you organize your next steps.
The Career Diagnostic helps you understand where you fit.

  • One 30-minute report walkthrough to clarify your recommendations and first steps

Inside the Career Diagnostic

See how your experience becomes a direction.

Your report connects the experience you share with possible pathways, the questions that need checking and practical actions you can take next.

Fictional illustration · Selected report excerpt

This invented example shows the reasoning and level of detail to expect in a section of your report. Your assessment is prepared from your own materials and conversation.

Read the illustrative report excerpt

Your professional context

You coordinated learning programs, kept registrations and schedules organized, and helped colleagues resolve incomplete information. You are exploring your next step after an international move and want work that combines practical delivery with people coordination.

What your evidence suggests

Operational coordination
In this fictional account, you replaced inconsistent registration records with a shared checklist and handover process. That supports a working assessment of process organization and follow-through. The assessment would explore what you owned, who used the process and how you know it helped.
Working across people and priorities
You describe clarifying missing information with colleagues before a program began. This is relevant evidence of coordination. We would explore how you handled competing requests and when you needed to escalate a decision.
Responsibility and level
Your account supports coordination and delivery responsibilities. Budget ownership, line management and strategic accountability still need clarification before recommending roles that require those capabilities.

Your pathway recommendation

Primary direction to investigate: program operations coordination. The organizing, handover and follow-through work is closely connected to your examples. Begin with roles that emphasize reliable delivery, stakeholder coordination and maintaining clear processes.

Reserve direction: learning or training coordination. Your program context may be useful where an employer needs someone to organize sessions, participants and delivery logistics. Assess each role against the work involved.

What to verify: your responsibility for outcomes, systems experience, language requirements, location or remote-working conditions, and any authorization requirements in the markets you choose. These are role families to research; the excerpt does not establish current vacancies or eligibility.

A positioning statement to develop

I help teams deliver organized learning programs by coordinating participants, maintaining clear records and turning incomplete information into practical next steps.

Use this statement only when your evidence supports each part. Refine it against the responsibilities of the role you choose.

Your 90-day action-plan extract

  1. Days 1–30

    Establish your evidence

    Prepare three examples of work you personally owned. Compare program operations and learning coordination against two current employer descriptions for each direction.

    Checkpoint: Keep a requirement-and-evidence comparison. Identify essential gaps, including language and eligibility, before choosing a primary direction.

  2. Days 31–60

    Test your direction

    Prepare one application version for a suitable role and request two relevant professional conversations through appropriate public channels.

    Checkpoint: Review what the descriptions and conversations reveal. Keep program operations as the priority only if the work and essential requirements align.

  3. Days 61–90

    Refine and act

    Use the strongest evidence in suitable applications, record feedback, and revisit the reserve direction if the original assumptions do not hold.

    Checkpoint: Review the quality of fit and what you learned. Adjust the target or close a specific gap; application and interview outcomes depend on employers.

Your Diagnostic includes a diagnostic conversation, personalized report and 90-day plan, one 30-minute report walkthrough and one included month of Candidate Membership. The walkthrough helps you choose where to begin. Focused follow-up guidance can be agreed separately.

Your Diagnostic includes one month of Candidate Membership. Continuing with a paid subscription requires separate enrollment.
