PathPilot is built by GuruLink, a Canadian recruitment firm. We have spent years on the hiring side of careers, and we kept seeing the same thing: the people who help others find their path are stretched thin, and the story of each person they support is scattered across tools and inboxes.
Why we built it
Career services were built for a labour market that no longer exists.
AI is reshaping entry-level work, caseloads keep growing, and budgets are not keeping up. Guidance breaks down in the gaps: between appointments, between advisor and employer, between a program and its funder report.
So we built the layer that holds one continuous record of each person's journey, live for them, their practitioner and their organization, with AI that takes on the notes, tasks and reporting. Practitioners get their time back for the conversations that change careers.

Human-centred AI
Technology should support people's judgment, not replace it.

People's information is theirs. We never sell it.
