Respiris Inc. Launches Disruptive Affiliate Program to Reinspire Career Transitions

Also Announces "You Are Not Alone" Podcast to Support Human-Centered Offboarding

LOS ANGELES, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Respiris Inc. announced today the launch of its disruptive Affiliate Program, a bold new model where HR professionals can refer companies in transition and earn income while helping people recover from job loss. Rooted in empathy and powered by AI, Respiris redefines outplacement as something far more human: re-inspiration.

"We don't hand someone a résumé and wish them luck," said Angel Cruzado, Founder and CEO. "We share screens. We use AI tools live. We co-create the transition together."

Re-inspiring Coaching After Job Loss

Respiris delivers a 3-month, 10-session experience at $1,500—far less than traditional providers charging $3,000–$7,500. Coaches meet individuals in the emotional aftermath of job loss and help rebuild clarity through:

• Live résumé and LinkedIn development
• Hands-on use of AI tools like ChatGPT and the Respiris AI Companion Coach
• Career Prayer™ sessions to reconnect with identity and purpose
• Network activation to move from isolation to opportunity

This isn't résumé automation or check-the-box HR. It's reinspiring, personal coaching built for real transition.

Built from Doing the Right Thing

Cruzado began offering this kind of support for free after conducting layoffs at Microsoft, Medtronic, and Fidelity Investments. "I couldn't just walk people out and go home. I stayed connected, rewrote résumés, and helped them find what was next."

Eventually, one company offered to pay him. Then two. Word spread quickly. Today, Respiris supports VC- and PE-backed employers across the U.S., helping both people and businesses navigate one of the hardest parts of work with dignity and care.

It's not just about landing a job—it's about healing, reframing, and reigniting purpose. Each session is tailored, interactive, and designed to spark confidence from day one.

Earn and Empower: The Affiliate Program

The disruptive Affiliate Program enables CEOs, fractional HR professionals, and coaches to earn 10–20% of revenue by referring companies in need of outplacement support. Many affiliates also become job search coaches—earning from both sides of the transition.

The platform runs on Framer, HubSpot, FirstPromoter, and Stripe for seamless referrals and payouts.

A Legal and Cultural Advantage

Companies who use Respiris minimize:

• Risk of wrongful termination or retaliation claims
• Inflated severance costs and legal fees
• Reputational harm from online reviews
• Low morale and disengagement post-layoffs

There are no retainers. Companies only pay when an impacted employee opts in.

You Are Not Alone

Respiris also launched the You Are Not Alone podcast, hosted by Cruzado, featuring honest conversations with CHROs, founders, and impacted employees navigating layoffs with courage and hope.
