Rhize

Rhize founder, Giovanna Ventola, was laid off three times in three years. The repetitive cycle left her feeling desperate and insecure as she repeatedly reached out to the same contacts with the same sob story. Looking to grow her network, she turned to TikTok and shared her struggles with the platform’s authentic audience. Quickly realizing the extent of unemployment, she took the conversation offline, launching a Slack community to unite and support fellow job seekers. Since its start, Rhize has been a sacred, safe space for everyone in their search. “We’ve got each other’s backs through the tough stuff and love to celebrate the wins.” Rhize empowers job seekers to take charge of their professional journey by offering comprehensive career support through curated resources, shared experiences, and consistent community engagement, guiding individuals through the ever-evolving job landscape.
