How It Works
Four guided steps to uncover what your experience is really worth, quantify what you bring to the table, and position your career shift with confidence.
Get clear on what you actually do. Not your title. The real responsibilities, initiatives, and expertise you've been quietly building.
See which of your skills the market is paying a premium for. Most people are sitting on capabilities they don't even know how to name yet.
Turn what you do into numbers that make hiring managers stop scrolling. Revenue saved, people led, problems solved.
Walk away with the exact language to use on LinkedIn, in interviews, and in negotiations. No more underselling yourself.

What You Get
You have been doing the work. The problem is not your experience. It is that no one can see the full picture of what you bring to the table. HatStack pulls it all together and gives you the words, the roles, and the plan to actually do something with it.
Job Searching
Promotion
You have done a lot. You know you are capable of more. But when someone asks what you want to do next, you freeze. HatStack connects the dots across everything you have done and shows you roles that actually fit, what they pay, and how to talk about yourself when you go after them.
Signal Strength
You are doing senior-level work but your title makes the market read you as mid-level. That is the gap.

“I want to thank you for helping me put words to what I actually do. I came in thinking this would just be interim income while I searched for my next move. Using your framework, I have converted this career gap into a role with actual impact.
I developed a training framework that is reducing onboarding time by half, I am moving to the implementation team, and I have a 1:1 with the CEO tomorrow.”
From overlooked to in the room with the CEO. That is what positioning does.

“I wanted to move beyond underwriting but I could not see how my experience translated. Once I identified the skills and business value underneath my background, I was able to pivot into a Product Analyst path that actually fit.”
Underwriter → Product Analyst
“I needed a career path that could support my family's move from Texas to Spain, even though my clinical background did not transfer directly. By getting clear on what did transfer, I landed a full-time Study Coordinator role and created a real next step forward.”
Respiratory Therapist → Study Coordinator
“I had already built the experience for a bigger role, but I was not being positioned at that level. Once I clarified the leadership and value inside my healthcare background, I advanced two levels up into a Regional Director role.”
Healthcare Manager → Regional Director
“I wanted to move from higher education into work that felt more aligned with my values. Once I reframed my experience in a way that translated beyond my original field, I landed an executive-level healthcare role with a mission I genuinely cared about.”
Higher Education → Executive Healthcare Role
Why HatStack Exists
I started in a restaurant, reverse-engineered my way into recruiting at Indeed and then Google, and spent years learning how hiring actually works from the inside. The biggest thing I noticed: the job market is terrible at recognizing people who do too many things well.
That's why I built HatStack. It looks at the work you've actually done across roles and surfaces the patterns most hiring systems miss. Not your titles. Not the job descriptions you inherited. The real signal underneath your career.
“Most people aren't stuck because they lack experience. They're stuck because no one ever showed them how to connect the hats they've been wearing all along.”

Founder, HatStack · Former Recruiter at Google & Indeed
You can use ChatGPT or Claude to brainstorm. But they can only work with what you type in, and they are not built to measure how your work actually maps to the market. HatStack helps you identify the roles hidden inside your experience, compare them against real market and salary data, and turn that into something you can actually use. A chatbot can give you ideas. HatStack gives you clearer positioning, stronger direction, and tangible outputs you can bring into a resume, interview, promotion conversation, or negotiation.
Most career services start with your resume and try to improve how it sounds. HatStack starts earlier. It helps you figure out what your experience is actually worth, what roles it points to, and where your title may be underselling your scope. This is not about making your job history sound nicer. It is about translating the full value of what you already do into language the market understands.
HatStacking is the process of identifying the multiple roles you are already performing, even if your title only reflects one of them. Maybe you were hired as a coordinator, but you also lead projects, manage stakeholders, solve operational problems, train others, or influence strategy. HatStack helps you name those hidden hats, connect them to real opportunities, and position yourself more clearly for better roles, stronger compensation, or more strategic career moves.
No. Many people come to HatStack specifically because they are not sure what is next. The assessment and career intelligence report help you see options you may not have considered by mapping your skills to roles and industries where they are in high demand.
The self-assessment takes about 20 minutes. Your career intelligence report is generated right after. If you are on the Pro plan, your first coaching session is typically scheduled within a few days of signing up.
Yes. Your career data is never shared, sold, or used to train AI models. Your assessment results and reports are visible only to you and, if you choose the Pro plan, your coach.
