Former College and Pro Hockey Player to founder and CEO of Job Commander | Chris Izmirlian

In this episode of Athletes to Entrepreneurship: The Alumni Journey, host Rob Finkelstein sits down with Chris Izmirlian, founder of Job Commander — a compatibility-based hiring platform designed to fix what’s broken in traditional recruiting. Chris breaks down why resumes fail most job seekers, how hiring managers spend just 3–6 seconds reviewing applications, and why ghosting has become the norm instead of the exception. Job Commander flips the model by focusing on who fits, not just who checks boxes — blending hard skills, soft skills, personality traits, and values into smarter job matching. This conversation is especially powerful for student-athletes and emerging professionals navigating career transition — people with discipline, leadership, and coachability who often struggle to translate their experience onto a resume. At its core, this episode is about: Compatibility, fairness, feedback, and restoring humanity to the hiring process. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 🧠 Why Resumes Are Broken: The truth about how little time recruiters spend reviewing applications. 🤝 Compatibility Hiring Explained: How Job Commander matches people based on who they are, not just keywords. 📄 Beyond the Resume: Why resumes fail to capture leadership, teamwork, and adaptability. 🤖 AI in Recruiting: How AI is reshaping hiring — and where it helps vs. hurts. 📬 Ending Ghosting: Why every applicant deserves a response, even if the answer is no. 🎓 Student-Athlete Advantage: Why athletes are ideal candidates — and how Job Commander helps translate their value. 🚀 Streamlined Hiring: How simplifying applications benefits both employers and job seekers. 🔄 Career Transitions Done Right: Supporting emerging talent through clarity, feedback, and fit.
