Frequently asked questions

Pivoters is an online job matching platform geared to people 55+ and to employers seeking a highly efficient way to tap a fresh source of talent.

Instead of requiring you to wade through job boards or send cold messages, Pivoters uses an advanced matching process to match the right person to the right job. Both sides review matches, and contact details are shared only after mutual interest.

Pivoters uses its Conversation Mode to understand more deeply what both sides need and want than is possible with just resumes and job descriptions. Our advanced matching technology then uses all that information to match experience, preferences, and role requirements in order to create aligned introductions based on overall fit - not just keywords.

Yes. Creating a profile and joining the matching pool is completely free to job seekers.

Yes. Names and contact details are hidden until both sides specifically give their permission to exchange their contract information in order to connect.

Conversation Mode is a guided digital interview with the Pivoters platform that helps job seekers and employers clearly describe what they’re looking for and what they have to offer. Conversation mode allows for each side to provide the platform with a rich set of information from which to make the strongest matches. Both sides are also able to enter their information through a text-entry format.

Pivoters is not a traditional job board. There is no public list of open jobs and no database of candidates to browse.

Instead, Pivoters connects the right people to the right jobs in a structured and intentional way. Once a strong match is identified, each side decides whether they would like to move forward and exchange contact information.

‍

Pivoters is open to all types of jobs and all types of candidates. The jobs can include part-time, full-time, or flexible roles; in-person, remote, or hybrid roles; front-line, professional, or managerial roles; individual or team roles; and roles with prerequisites and roles without. Whatever you’re looking for!

Employers often struggle to find suitable candidates without sifting through large volumes of unqualified applicants. Pivoters delivers prioritized matches from the full database, in order to streamline the process and focus on alignment over volume.

No. A match indicates alignment and mutual interest, but final hiring decisions remain with the employer and a final acceptance decision remains with the candidate. Interviews, background checks, and any additional evaluation steps are determined by the employer and candidate, and take place outside the platform.

Pivoters is currently in its launch phase, during which employer access is at no cost.

After the launch phase, employers will pay $75 when they like a matched candidate they have been provided and want to talk further to them, and the candidate in turn is interested in the job and is ready to connect and move forward. With the payment, the platform will unlock the match for both sides and provide contact details.

Only after:

• A match exists
• Both sides express interest
• The employer agrees to payment on its side
• Required verification steps are completed

‍

In Conversation Mode, people provide more complete information, more easily and quickly than they would in a form. This allows matching to be more accurate.
