AI + Humanity: The Future of Outplacement According to Respiris
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Founders Future, with host Jae Encarnacion, Angel Cruzado, founder and CEO of Respiris, shares his mission to revolutionize outplacement services by combining human empathy with AI-powered career coaching. Drawing from his HR leadership roles at Microsoft and Medtronic, Angel reveals how traditional outplacement fails mid-career professionals—and how Respiris is flipping the script with personalized coaching, community support, and AI tools to help people rediscover their career purpose during transitions.
Angel breaks down his "triple win" marketplace model (connecting companies, job seekers, and coaches) and why he’s intentionally avoiding paid ads to build organic growth. He also shares bold predictions for the outplacement industry’s future—including expanding support to veterans and formerly incarcerated individuals—and his "speed, execution, and iteration" philosophy for bootstrapped founders. For entrepreneurs balancing mission and scalability, Angel’s insights on revenue-funded growth and ethical AI integration are gold.*
