Connect
Alignment starts with people.
Our community brings women in technology, leaders and organizations together, online and in the room. It's where trust is built, long before an introduction is ever made.
From a hybrid Women in Tech MeetUp with IKEA Retail to company-hosted experiences, this is where companies and talent meet as people first.

Read More About UsOur Mission
We believe people create their greatest impact when their strengths, ambitions and potential are aligned with the right opportunities. Our mission is to unlock human potential by aligning women with the opportunities and environments where they can make their greatest contribution, advancing organizations, driving innovation and shaping the future of technology.
The Shift
Traditional hiring evaluates the past. Talent Alignment looks ahead.
We didn't set out to improve recruitment. We built a new way to make talent decisions, one where Contribution and Potential matter as much as experience, for people and organizations alike.

Frequently asked questions
What is Talent Alignment?
Talent Alignment is our approach to understanding a person across six dimensions, strengths, capabilities, motivation, direction, environment and potential, not just their CV, so we can connect them with opportunities where they'll do their best work.
Who is the assessment for?
Women in technology and women interested in tech careers, whether you're actively looking, considering a change or simply curious about what could come next. It isn't a job application, and it's free to take.
What happens after I complete my profile?
You receive your Alignment Profile: a clearer picture of your strengths, capabilities, motivation, direction, environment and potential. Nothing is shared with companies automatically. If you choose to join our talent network, we may consider your profile for relevant opportunities, and we ask before introducing you to any company.
How can companies work with Coding On Heels?
Companies can hire aligned talent from our network, or host and collaborate with us on events that bring their organization closer to the community. Visit our Companies page →
