Verified skill scores — assessed and trusted by employers
Project portfolio — side projects, bootcamp work, uni projects

CareerGuard is built for
everyone who's been overlooked
Whether you’re a recent grad, career changer, bootcamp alum, or returning to work — if you have the skills, CareerGuard helps employers see them.
Recent graduates
Limited work experience? Your SkillSnap shows your dissertation, projects, side hustles and real skills — the things a CV can’t capture.
Career changers
Transferable skills don’t show on CVs. CareerGuard lets you prove your communication, problem-solving and technical abilities regardless of your previous industry.
Bootcamp & self-taught
No traditional degree? Show your GitHub projects, designs, writing, or code. Employers on CareerGuard actively want non-traditional talent.
International candidates
Skills are universal. CareerGuard removes the name and background bias that often filters out international applicants before a human sees them.
Returning to work
Gap on your CV? Your SkillSnap tells the full story. Show the skills you’ve maintained or built during time away — and let employers judge your ability today.
NEET & early careers
No experience, no problem. Our NEET programmes and early careers pathways connect you directly with employers who seek potential over pedigree.
Your skills deserve to be seen.
