GetFive

What GetFive does

GetFive, which operates under the legal name Careerminds, is a Chicago-headquartered provider of workforce transition, talent development, and workforce design solutions, founded in 1986 and operating as a private, for-profit company with 51–100 employees. The company sells primarily to enterprise HR departments and CHROs undergoing layoffs, restructuring, or internal mobility initiatives, offering outplacement, executive outplacement, redeployment, career development, leadership development, executive coaching, career frameworks, and workforce intelligence products. It also maintains Keystone Partners as a sub-brand for executive-focused career gateway services.

The technology backbone is a proprietary workforce intelligence and career transition platform that powers real-time analytics dashboards for HR clients, a custom AI tool for building career frameworks (mapping roles, skills, and progression paths), and dedicated participant portals (learn.careerminds.com, careerdev.getfive.com, Keystone Partners portals). Service delivery combines this technology with human coaching under a proprietary 30:1 coach-to-participant ratio model. The company reports 99% client retention, presence in 100+ countries (with localized websites in 8 markets), and 20 million people supported cumulatively.

Careerminds monetizes primarily through subscription or annual enterprise contracts sold via direct enterprise field sales and inside sales motions, with executive coaching and redeployment delivered as professional-services engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, scaled to organizational headcount and service tier. Distribution is direct-to-enterprise with no reseller or marketplace channels identified, and the company runs a content-led demand generation engine (blog, research reports, podcasts, ebooks, press relations) targeting HR decision-makers.
