Guidebeam is an AI-powered career guidance platform that helps you discover fulfilling career paths aligned with your personality, values, skills, and life context. We use evidence-based psychometric assessments combined with comprehensive career data to provide personalised career recommendations.

Guidebeam works in three steps: (1) Complete scientifically validated psychometric assessments that measure your personality, values, and preferences. (2) Share your career profile, goals, and life context. (3) Receive personalised career matches with detailed insights on match scores, feasibility, required skills, and career pathways.

You'll complete several evidence-based psychometric assessments covering personality traits, personal values, risk preferences, motivation drivers, work preferences, and career readiness. These assessments typically take 30-45 minutes in total to complete.

We use a proprietary multi-factor algorithm that analyzes your personality profile, personal values, preferences, life context constraints, and existing skills. Each career receives both a match score (how well it aligns with who you are) and a feasibility score (how achievable it is given your circumstances).

Guidebeam offers a free tier that lets you complete assessments and see your top 3 career matches. For full access to all career recommendations, detailed insights, and AI-powered career roadmaps, you can upgrade to our Pro plan. Visit our pricing page for current rates.

We integrate comprehensive occupational data, career pathways, skill taxonomies, and labor market information from trusted sources. This includes details on job responsibilities, required competencies, education requirements, compensation ranges, and career progression opportunities across hundreds of occupations.

Yes, we take data privacy seriously. Your assessment results and personal information are encrypted and stored securely. We never sell your data to third parties. You maintain full control over your information and can request deletion at any time from your account settings.

Yes, you can retake assessments at any time. Reassessments cost 30 credits each (included with Pro or available as top-ups). We recommend waiting at least 3-6 months between retakes, as personality traits and core values tend to be relatively stable. Your career matches will automatically update based on your most recent results.
