What is Pivot?
Pivot is a real-time talent intelligence platform for moments when the hiring market moves faster than traditional sourcing.
When layoffs are announced, the best talent can already be in motion before the story reaches LinkedIn. Pivot watches layoff signals early, identifies affected talent pools, and helps match people with companies actively hiring for the same skills.
Why we built it
Layoffs create two urgent problems at the same time.
For job seekers, timing matters. A warm, relevant role match within hours can change the next step after a layoff from panic-refreshing job boards to having a real path forward.
For hiring teams, speed and relevance matter. If a company needs a senior iOS engineer, data scientist, or product designer, knowing when qualified people enter the market can be more useful than another generic sourcing dashboard.
Early layoff signals
Pivot is designed to surface layoff activity before the broader hiring market is already saturated with the same news.
Skill-matched roles
Matches focus on overlap between a person's actual skills and companies hiring for those capabilities.
Timely alerts
Job seekers and hiring teams get alerts when a relevant opportunity or talent signal appears.
Built for both sides
The product serves affected talent and the teams ready to hire them, instead of optimizing for only one side of the market.
How it works
Pivot starts with layoff signals and turns them into a matching workflow:
- It monitors public layoff activity and market signals.
- It identifies likely affected talent pools, companies, and roles.
- It compares skills against active hiring demand.
- It alerts job seekers to relevant roles and hiring teams to relevant talent.
- It keeps the focus on speed, fit, and action instead of endless feed scrolling.
The core product idea is simple: when career transitions are happening in real time, matching should happen in real time too.
Built with speed in mind
Pivot began as a focused experiment: what would be worth building with limited Linkup and Lovable credits if the goal was to solve a real hiring-market problem?
The answer was not another dashboard for passive browsing. It was a system that treats layoffs as a signal for coordinated action, then helps both sides of the market move faster.

What’s next
The next step for Pivot is feedback from both audiences: people currently job hunting and teams actively scaling. We want to learn where the matching feels useful, where alerts need more precision, and how fast the workflow needs to be to beat the noise of social feeds.
