EDMONTON, ALBERTA - April 15, 2025 - Edmonton-based startup Rhealize.com announced the successful launch of its MVP for Ikimy (pronounced ih-key-my), an innovative human-centered job matching platform designed to transform recruitment and hiring. The AI-powered recruitment technology addresses critical gaps in the US$325+ billion job matching market by creating clearer alignment between the needs and priorities of employers and candidates. Additionally, the startup was short-listed in April for Alberta's prestigious StartUp TNT investment summit and will be featured at Web Summit Vancouver on May 27, 2025.
Ikimy's SaaS recruitment platform uses standardization and proprietary matching algorithms to solve fundamental problems in today’s noisy job market. Employers struggle to describe roles accurately, candidates apply for unsuitable positions, and recruiters lack effective tools to identify qualified applicants. The Ikimy job matching platform creates clarity around mutual expectations, resulting in satisfied employers, happier employees and longer-lasting employment relationships.
"After four years of development, we're excited to introduce a solution that addresses the fundamental disconnects in hiring," said Lisa Zeppetzauer Co-founder and President of Rhealize. Lisa Zeppetzauer adds that "Ikimy helps people enjoy what they do by matching them to work that leverages their natural strengths while honoring their unique life circumstances."
Since its January 2025 launch, Ikimy has been piloting with employers, recruiters, and candidates across Canada and the United States. The platform offers free services to job seekers, including personalized guidance to help navigate career options.
The Edmonton-based company's innovative approach recently earned selection to StartUp TNT, Alberta's leading investment summit connecting promising startups with angel investors. Additionally, Ikimy will be featured at Web Summit Vancouver, one of North America's premier technology conferences. Entrepreneur Jeff Polovick, Co-founder of Rhealize and founder of The Driving Force Group of Companies, also brings his extensive business experience to the venture.
"These opportunities validate our approach to solving recruitment challenges," said Dona Baker, Co-founder and Head of Development at Rhealize. Dona Baker continues with "We're creating a solution where employers find talent who stay longer and perform better, while candidates secure roles where they can thrive professionally."
For employers and recruitment agencies, Ikimy offers a licensing model that delivers precisely qualified candidates, reduces turnover costs, and streamlines hiring. The platform focuses on creating employment relationships that last by aligning expectations from the start.
