Our Story
It all started with a letter.
“We regret to inform you that your role has been made redundant.”
In stunned silence, clutching that piece of paper, the past played like a reel: burning the midnight oil to finish our studies during tough times, navigating deadlines and corporate politics, sacrificing family moments to climb the corporate ladder.
Finally, we reached what felt like the summit of our careers—or so we thought!
Determined to move forward, we sharpened our skills through professional courses and reignited our passions. Yet, returning to the corporate world brought a sobering reality: the landscape had changed. Opportunities were scarce, and roles felt further out of reach than ever before.
Despite a wealth of experience and new skills, the feedback was discouraging: “The market’s too slow.” “We’re looking for someone with different energy."
These experiences made us ask the same hard questions:
Does our wealth of experience still have value?
Should we settle for work that doesn't ignite our passion just to make ends meet?
Or can we find a way to live purposefully in the next stage of our lives?
Three phone calls. Three seasoned professionals. One cozy café and three steaming cups of coffee. For hours, we exchanged stories, frustrations, and dreams. In that moment, we realized something profound: our experience and expertise weren’t a setback—they were an untapped force for good.
We weren’t ready to fade into the background. We wanted to redefine how we contribute, build, and lead in this next chapter of our lives. What if there was a way to connect seasoned professionals—those who had walked the path, gained the wisdom, and honed their skills—with businesses that needed their expertise but lacked the time or resources to find it?
A platform that did more than recruit talent—it bridged the gap, empowering displaced professionals to plug into companies that valued their experience. And that’s how BeterBiz was born.
