What it does, and what it does not do yet
CareerAlign is in active development. Everything below is labelled with where it actually is, because a feature list that quietly includes unbuilt things is a sales problem waiting to happen.
Capabilities
Structured assessment
BuiltEighty-nine items across nine sections, mixing forced choice, rating scales, ranking, bipolar sliders, career history and open questions. Save and resume at any point.
Deterministic matching
BuiltEight weighted dimensions scored against structured career profiles. Same answers, same result, every time — and the full working is available for any score.
Career themes
BuiltDescriptive groupings that summarise a profile without reducing a person to a type. A client can hold several, and they change with circumstance.
Tenant isolation
BuiltEach practice is a separate tenant, isolated by database row-level security rather than by filtering in application code. A query that forgets its tenant returns nothing rather than everything.
Practitioner workspace
BuiltClients, assessment status, private notes, career plans and reports in one record per client.
Professional reports
BuiltUp to six sections covering how to read your report, career themes, your profile, career directions worth exploring, the agreed plan where one exists, and method and limitations. Carries your practice name and stays legible printed in greyscale.
CareerAlign Coach
BuiltPreparation for a client conversation, built from stored results. Explain one career direction — what drove the score, where the client's answers line up, and where they don't — or compare two directions to see which dimensions the difference actually rests on. Deterministic: no model is involved, every figure appears on the client's results page, and it never recommends a direction. The judgement stays with the practitioner.
Career pathways
BuiltSee how a client's strengths and development areas align with a selected career direction, then connect that direction to their career plan and next steps.
The eight dimensions
Every one scored from the client’s own answers.
Interests
What kinds of work pull their attention, across thirteen areas.
Values
What has to be true about a job for it to be worth doing.
Strengths
What they are good at, self-rated and cross-checked against history.
Skills
Capability by domain, with shortfalls treated differently from surplus.
Work preferences
Nine bipolar dimensions — structure, pace, autonomy, visibility.
Motivators
What actually sustains effort once novelty wears off.
Experience
Occupations held, tasks enjoyed, tasks avoided, transferable skills.
Constraints
Money, time, location, study appetite, industries ruled out.
