A story for the gap
Most people who have been out of work can't explain it in one sentence. Onward writes that sentence with them on day one, from their résumé and their own words.
Heardby Onward
Help the people you let go find their next job.
One small step a day, on their phone, built from their own work history, for 180 days. You pay once. They keep going until they land.
You'll talk with an HR practitioner on the Heardby team.
English and Spanish. No app to install.
A sample day. The person is made up; the step is what Onward does.
What they get
One step every morning
Not a to-do list. One thing, built from their history: message a former coworker, fix one résumé line, practice one answer. About thirty minutes a day, or more if they want it. The next step depends on what happened with the last one.
Six months, not six weeks
Searches after a layoff routinely run past 90 days. Onward is built for 180, with bridge work and new outreach in the back half.
What you see
Who has started. Who has landed. Nothing else.
Your people's work is private to them. You get a page with four numbers: invited, started, active this week, landed. You never see their résumé, their messages or their progress. That is the reason they use it.

Sample. Your page shows your own four counts.
How it works
- 1.
Add their email addresses on your Departures page in Heardby. One line each.
- 2.
Each person gets a sign-in link. No password.
- 3.
They upload a résumé or answer three questions, and the plan builds itself.
- 4.
Every morning at 6 a.m. their time, the next step is ready. You see the counts update.
Pricing
$199 per person, once, charged only when they start. That covers 180 days of daily steps for them, and the Departures dashboard, status reporting and invoicing for you. No minimum, no platform fee.

Common questions
Why $199 when an individual could buy it for less?
The seat pays for more than the person's daily steps: it gives you the Departures dashboard, started and landed reporting you can put in front of leadership, one invoice, and a program your former employee never has to pay for or decide about. It is also a fraction of what outplacement charges for a quarter of the time.
Can we use Onward with our exit interviews?
Yes. They're built to go together. Run the exit round to understand why people left, and give the same people Onward so the leaving is handled well.
What if someone already has outplacement?
Onward can start the day their outplacement ends. Most programs stop at 60 or 90 days; Onward runs 180.
Can we see how an individual is doing?
No. You see counts for your organization and each person's status: invited, started or landed. That privacy is what makes people willing to use it.
What happens if someone gets a job?
They tap 'I got a job' and their status changes to landed. That's all you're told, and it's all you need.
Is it in Spanish?
Yes. Every screen and every daily step can be in Spanish.
Take care of the leaving as well as the staying.
