NewBuilt on ESCO — the EU’s occupations database

Your career deserves better than advice that agrees with you.

Fremad is a diagnostic career coach. It works out where you actually stand, maps the roads genuinely open from there, and helps you build the evidence that makes the next one yours. Not a chatbot that flatters you. Not a listicle written for everyone.

The problem

Three kinds of career advice. None of them yours.

Careers are the largest financial decision most people never get help with. What exists is generic, flattering, or priced out of reach — and none of it starts by finding out where you actually are.

Generic

Articles and frameworks written for everyone, which is to say for no one. Useful right up until your situation has a specific detail in it — and it always does.

Flattering

An AI assistant that agrees with your read of the situation and hands you a plan. It feels like progress. It changes nothing, because it never told you anything you didn’t already believe.

Expensive

A good human coach costs €150–300 an hour and is worth it. Most people will never buy one, and the ones who most need the diagnosis are the least likely to.

The missing piece isn’t motivation. It’s diagnosis — what is actually true about where you stand, and what is actually between you and the next thing.

Backed by real data

When Fremad says a role needs something, it isn’t guessing.

Role requirements come from ESCO — the European Skills, Competences and Occupations classification, maintained by the European Commission across roughly 3,000 occupations. It is a public reference you can check yourself. Type a job title and see exactly what the app sees.

Try:

ESCO is published by the European Commission and is available at esco.ec.europa.eu. Fremad is not affiliated with or endorsed by the European Commission — it reads the same public data anyone can.

How it works

Four things, and they build on each other.

Diagnose, map, prove, move. Each one feeds the next, which is why the coach gets more useful the longer you use it rather than less.

Coach

It starts with the blocker, not your résumé.

A conversation that asks what’s actually in the way before it suggests anything. It will disagree with you when the evidence does, and it will say when it doesn’t know — both of which are the point.

  • Opens with what’s frustrating you, not with your job history
  • Separates the problem you named from the one underneath it
  • Speaks your language — Danish, Norwegian, Swedish or English
Atlas

Roads, not a ladder.

Your history so far, and several genuinely different routes forward — with what each actually requires, drawn from ESCO rather than from a hunch. Pick one to focus on and the rest of the app follows it.

  • Multiple routes, compared side by side rather than ranked
  • Requirements anchored to the next role, not a distant title
  • Honest about which gaps are big and which are nearly closed
Wins

Achievements, graded by evidence.

Every win carries a tier that says how well it is backed: something you stated, something you measured, or something a colleague confirmed. Your public profile shows the tier, so the reader can weigh it.

  • Import a résumé and turn flat bullets into outcomes
  • Ask a colleague to confirm a win by email
  • Share one link that shows the grade, not just the claim
Growth

The part that happens between sessions.

Small, specific moves aimed at the gap you chose — sized to a week, not to a New Year’s resolution. What you actually do gets logged, and it’s what the coach reasons from next time.

  • Challenges drawn from your role and your chosen route
  • A record of what you did, not what you meant to do
  • Momentum you can see, which is the only kind that lasts
Evidence

Most profiles are a list of claims. This one shows its work.

Everyone’s CV says “drove significant growth”. Nobody’s says how anyone would know. Fremad grades each achievement by how well it is backed, and shows the grade to whoever you share it with.

Tier 1

Self-reported

You said it happened. That’s a legitimate starting point and it is labelled as exactly that — nothing more.

Tier 2

Measured

There’s a number attached, and a way the number was arrived at. Still your account, but now it’s falsifiable.

Tier 3

Endorsed

A named colleague received an email, opened it, and confirmed the win in their own words. Their name and their words travel with it.

Endorsed is not Verified. We confirm that the person at that email address said yes. We have not checked that they are who they say they are, and we don’t claim to. That’s why the badge says Endorsed. A product that grades other people’s claims has to be exact about its own.
