Brand Snippet

In today’s executive job market, experience too often loses out to algorithms. Applicant tracking systems filter out qualified leaders, while three out of four executive roles are filled through hidden networks. CareerBooster.ai emerged to change that. The startup offers AI-powered, fully managed job search execution for senior leaders earning $200,000 and above. By blending marketing precision with human expertise, the platform accelerates searches, restores visibility, and helps executives land roles faster.

Mubasher (Moe) Hassan — Co-Founder & CEO

Mubasher Hassan, known as Moe, is a software engineer with an MBA and a track record as a serial entrepreneur. Before launching CareerBooster.ai, he led B2B marketing campaigns and advised senior leaders on resume and LinkedIn optimization. The real spark came when a client asked if he could manage the entire job search process end to end. That request inspired Career JumpStart, the platform’s signature service, and set the foundation for building a startup to confront digital discrimination in executive hiring.

M Suleman Ibrahim — Co-Founder & CTO

M Suleman Ibrahim brings more than a decade of hands-on experience in full-stack development and AI systems. As founder of Alphinex Solutions and an AI trainer at Turing, he built expertise in automation, scalable systems, and advanced model training. Joining forces with Moe in 2023, he became the technical architect of CareerBooster.ai. His role is to ensure the platform’s AI-powered engine delivers accurate job intelligence, hidden opportunity detection, and the infrastructure that powers CareerBooster’s promise to restore fairness in executive searches.

CareerBooster.ai Story

The Problem

For senior leaders, the executive job market is riddled with invisible barriers. Applicant tracking systems routinely filter out qualified candidates, while algorithms and keyword biases overlook decades of leadership. Research shows that 75 percent of executive roles are never posted publicly but filled quietly through networks. The result is a drawn-out job search that often lasts nine months or more, with response rates as low as 2–3 percent. For executives earning $200,000 or higher, that translates to $20,000–30,000 in lost income for every month spent waiting. Families are strained, confidence erodes, and accomplished leaders are left invisible to the very systems designed to surface talent.

The Spark

The origins of CareerBooster.ai trace back to 2023 when Mubasher “Moe” Hassan, a software engineer with an MBA, was helping executives refine resumes and LinkedIn profiles. He noticed that even when profiles were optimized, candidates were still drowning in the job search process. The turning point came when one client asked if he could handle the entire job search, not just the preparation. That question revealed the gap in the market: senior leaders did not need more coaching, they needed execution. Alongside co-founder and CTO M Suleman Ibrahim, Moe set out to create a system that would flip the odds in favor of experienced executives.

The Solution

CareerBooster.ai was built as the first “Executive Career Operations” platform. Rather than offering advice, it executes the job search itself. The model combines AI-powered tools with personalized marketing strategies, treating the candidate like a high-value brand to be positioned, promoted, and connected. The platform offers:

• Opportunity Intelligence: AI scans funding signals, growth trends, and filings to identify roles before they are public.
• Strategic Applications: Company-specific resumes and letters, ATS-optimized and human-reviewed.
• Network Expansion: Compliant LinkedIn outreach to decision-makers and executive recruiters.
• Referral Generation: Warm introductions to insiders at target companies.
• Hidden Jobs Intelligence: Proactive outreach campaigns that surface opportunities before formal postings.

This approach reframes job search as a targeted campaign rather than a passive wait for postings.

Traction and Milestones

The early results have validated the model. Within its first campaigns, CareerBooster.ai delivered more than 685 executive interviews across 139 projects. Ninety percent of clients secured interviews within 30–60 days, cutting typical job search timelines from nine months to four to six months. The platform now supports more than 22,000 executives, with over 22,500 active roles, and average compensation around $250,000. These outcomes demonstrate that systematic execution can outperform the traditional job hunt.

Market Position

CareerBooster.ai positions itself against both career coaches and traditional recruiters. Unlike coaches, it does not stop at advice—it runs the campaigns. Unlike recruiters, it works exclusively for candidates rather than employers. This creates a distinct value proposition in a $20B+ global executive services market dominated by legacy search firms and fragmented coaching services. By defining and owning the “Executive Career Operations” category, the startup has staked out a clear competitive edge.

How It Transforms the Industry

The platform challenges the assumptions that competence must bow to keywords or networks. By merging AI-driven intelligence with structured outreach, it restores visibility for executives who are often sidelined by automated filters. In practice, it transforms job search into a measurable, transparent process where outcomes are trackable and strategies adjustable. For senior leaders accustomed to accountability, this approach resonates as professional, structured, and fair.

Challenges Ahead

Like any young startup, CareerBooster.ai faces hurdles. Scaling AI systems to serve a growing global user base requires ongoing investment in infrastructure. Building trust among executives, who are naturally cautious with confidential career moves, demands continuous emphasis on discretion and results. Competing with well-capitalized search firms and a crowded field of career platforms will test the brand’s differentiation over time.

Opportunities and Outlook

The opportunities are equally clear. As workplace demographics shift and concerns about algorithmic bias grow, CareerBooster.ai’s mission to fight digital discrimination positions it at the heart of a broader conversation about fairness in hiring. With plans to pursue Series A funding of $8–12M, the startup aims to expand its reach and solidify its leadership in executive career operations. If successful, CareerBooster.ai could redefine how executives approach career transitions—less as a solitary search, and more as a professional campaign with measurable results.
