In high school, Spencer Thompson noticed a pattern among his classmates when it came to post-graduation plans: they made choices based upon what family or friends thought they should do, rather than their intrinsic passions, capabilities, or potential.
‍
In 2012, Spencer founded Sokanu to solve this problem. He partnered with PhD career psychologists to reinvent the standard career test and launched what would become CareerExplorer — a world-class career platform powered by modern science and technology.

It’s why millions trust us to guide them down the right path each year. 

We believe that self-exploration is important, and create time and space for our users to focus on themselves and their futures. After health and relationships, work is the most important factor in overall happiness. We help people feel confident and informed about their career decisions, then chart a course to achieving their goals.

Our team brings diverse backgrounds in psychology, education, career training, publishing, healthcare, UX design, engineering,
and data science.

Some of us have had winding careers across multiple industries, others have stayed in one field for years. We know how complex choosing the right career can be, whether you’re just starting out or well into a life of work. That's why we've each made it our mission to help millions of others find their way to success and fulfillment.
