• Employees have experience and potential but may struggle to identify and communicate their professional value.

I'm Vanessa Ward, Founder of Inheritance Solutions and creator of Hired On Purpose.
Throughout my career, I've worked across education, student services, corporate sales, account management, and organizational leadership. I've also had the privilege of helping professionals recognize their value and position themselves for opportunities.
One thing I've learned is that having experience, education, or potential does not automatically mean someone knows how to translate those things into opportunity.
And simply telling someone to apply for more jobs does not address that problem.
People need to understand what they bring, what they need to develop, how to communicate their capabilities, and how to strategically navigate the opportunities in front of them.
That's why I created Hired On Purpose.
I believe that nothing is wasted. Our experiences develop something in us, but we have to learn how to identify that value, continue developing it, and put it to work.
Today, Hired On Purpose gives organizations a way to bring that development to the people they serve.
Because the goal isn't simply getting people hired.
It's developing people who are prepared to navigate opportunity and advancement.
"Vanessa helped them to recognize value in a way they never had before. Because of her guidance, She didn't just help find a job. She helped them see what they are truly capable of."

DISCOVER. COMMUNICATE. EXECUTE.
Hired On Purpose is built around three areas of development that help participants understand what they bring to the workforce and how to strategically pursue opportunities.
01 | DISCOVER YOUR VALUE
Before someone can effectively pursue an opportunity, they need to understand what they bring to it.
Participants explore their strengths, professional identity, transferable skills, experiences, areas for development, and career direction.
02 | COMMUNICATE YOUR VALUE
Possessing value and being able to communicate it are not the same thing.
Participants learn how to translate their experiences and capabilities through résumés, LinkedIn, interviews, networking, professional communication, and personal positioning.
03 | EXECUTE WITH STRATEGY
Activity and strategy are not the same.
Participants learn to identify aligned opportunities, approach applications strategically, build professional relationships, evaluate results, prepare for interviews, negotiate, and make informed career decisions.
Built for Individual Development. Designed for Organizational Impact.
Hired On Purpose can be delivered through a digital learning experience, allowing organizations to provide structured career readiness and professional development across the populations they serve.
