Founded in 2007, iRelaunch is the pioneering leader in the career reentry field, bringing thousands of mid-career professionals, often called relaunchers or returners, back into the workforce after an extended leave of one to over 20 years.
We connect our thriving community of over 125,000 relaunchers with forward-thinking employers that recognize their unique value and are eager to hire them. People take career breaks for a range of reasons unrelated to job performance, including childcare, eldercare, a personal health issue, underemployment, and time after military service or as a military spouse. Relaunchers bring a strong return on investment, offering a combination of education, experience, drive, and dedication at a stable life stage. Their retention rates consistently exceed industry averages, ranging from 70% to 90%.
As a global, full-service career reentry company, iRelaunch partners with many of the world’s top employers to recruit and onboard relaunchers. We also produce the iRelaunch Return to Work Conference and Employer Summit. Our work with employers has led to a remarkable shift: career breaks, once viewed as a disqualifier, are now a key qualification for identifying high caliber professionals and targeting them as part of an employer's talent acquisition strategy.
