How Genies Career Hub came to be.
After more than 35 years working across recruitment, HR, and career coaching — inside major organisations, at the highest levels of hiring, and alongside professionals navigating the most pivotal moments of their careers — our founder Orlaigh Smyth kept seeing the same pattern.
Talented people. Capable people. People who deserved more than they were getting. Left behind — not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked the right support at the right moment.
In 2021, Orlaigh launched Career Genies. By 2024, it had grown into Genies Career Hub — a fully integrated platform combining AI-powered tools, expert coaching, smart job matching, professional courses, and a growing content library.
The same mission. A significantly more complete way to deliver it.
Career Genies is founded
Orlaigh launches with a focus on coaching and CV support. The idea: every professional deserves the kind of support that used to only exist for a lucky few.
The platform grows
AI tools go live. Amitt Bajaj joins as CTO. The team expands. Career Studio, Psychometric Testing, and the AI Career Coach launch.
Genies Career Hub relaunches
TalentFlow™ launches as the recruitment arm. Guru courses go live. Prynz Balatero joins as Business Development Director.
The next chapter
12,000+ professionals supported globally. Fundraising phase open. The platform keeps growing — built by the same team, for the same reason.
"We built Genies because we believed something better was possible. A platform that meets people where they are — not where it is convenient for a platform to find them."
