The story behind the platform
Vostego gives job seekers and career changers the tools that actually move the needle: vetted opportunities, role-specific resume feedback, and practical playbooks built from real transitions.
Why Vostego exists
Job searching is broken. Most platforms bury you in noise: recycled listings, algorithmic feeds, and generic advice that sounds good but doesn't help you land anything.
We built Vostego because we've been through it. The founder spent years navigating career transitions, leading teams at major media organizations, and mentoring others through their own moves. The pattern was always the same: the people who landed well had access to better information, better feedback, and better systems.
Vostego makes those advantages available to everyone. Not through AI-generated fluff or motivational content, but through the same practical tools and direct guidance that actually work.
Who's behind it
Ian Sherr
Ian has spent 15+ years shaping editorial vision and leading teams at CNET, Reuters, and other major organizations. He's a regular contributor to CBS News, BBC, and CNN, and has advised senior leaders on strategy, operations, and public positioning.
When he moved into consulting and solo work, he realized the same problem his mentees faced: trustworthy, actionable career guidance is surprisingly hard to find. So he built the platform he wished he'd had.
- Editor-in-Chief and President roles across major media organizations
- Regular contributor to CBS News, BBC, and CNN
- 15+ years leading teams, strategy, and operations
Our approach
Every guide on Vostego includes word-for-word scripts, real math, and concrete next steps — not "believe in yourself" platitudes. They're grounded in actual job searches and career transitions, and they're designed to be used today, not bookmarked and forgotten.
How we build everything on the platform
Curated, not aggregated
Every job listing is vetted through our own discovery engine. We don't scrape and dump — we filter for quality, add context, and link directly to employers.
Written from experience
Every guide comes from an actual career transition or hiring process. No ghostwritten SEO content. No motivational filler.
Built in-house
The content engine, feedback tools, and analytics are our own infrastructure — not off-the-shelf SaaS stitched together.
