Why I built Journey to Hired

Why we’re removing the gates

— Yendri Casado, Founder and HR Director

Who I Am

I’m Yendri, an HR Director in medical devices and the founder of Journey to Hired.

My background includes sales roles at call centers, work at Pepsi, and third shift work at Coke. The work was demanding, and the company names helped my resume. I had a rough upbringing and took a nontraditional path through education. I was willing to work hard and to take career leaps, and I reached HR leadership early.

Hiring and promotion run on knowledge that not everyone is handed. I started Journey to Hired to make that knowledge, human support and technology easier to reach, especially for women of color in tech, Latinas included.
