How Genies Career Hub came to be.
After more than 35 years working across recruitment, HR, and career coaching — inside major organisations, at the highest levels of hiring, and alongside professionals navigating the most pivotal moments of their careers — our founder Orlaigh Smyth kept seeing the same pattern.
Talented people. Capable people. People who deserved more than they were getting. Left behind — not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked the right support at the right moment.
In 2021, Orlaigh launched Career Genies. By 2024, it had grown into Genies Career Hub — a fully integrated platform combining AI-powered tools, expert coaching, smart job matching, professional courses, and a growing content library.
The same mission. A significantly more complete way to deliver it.
Career Genies is launched
Career Genies launches in September 2021 with a mission to make career coaching, CV support, and professional development accessible to everyone.
Genies Career Hub & Platform Beta
Orlaigh and Amit Bajaj co-found Genies Career Hub in January 2024. The team expands and Platform 1.0 enters beta testing in October 2024, laying the foundation for future growth and innovation.
Talent Flow & Guru Launch
Genies 2.0 launches in June 2026, introducing Genies Talent Flow, the recruitment arm of the business, and Guru, the new e-learning platform designed to support career growth and professional development.
The Next Chapter
Supporting professionals worldwide, the Genies ecosystem continues to grow through recruitment, learning, coaching, and technology-driven career solutions, with exciting new developments ahead.

[ Orlaigh Smyth - Founder ]
We built Genies because we believed something better was possible. A platform that meets people where they are — not where it is convenient for a platform to find them.
