Passion meets paycheck: Match by mission with Vire
Finally, a job platform that asks: do you even care about what you're building?
August 5, 2025
Let's face it, no one dreams of dying under a pile of Jira tickets for a product they don't care about. And yet? That's where so many job seekers end up: stuck in roles that don't light them up, working on problems they couldn't care less about.
At Vire, we're done with the soul-sucking mismatch. We think what you work on should matter to you, deeply.
And we are building the platform to help make that happen.
Introducing: Mission Matching
Because your next job shouldn't feel like a betrayal of your values.
This isn't some fluffy "culture fit" checkbox. It's real-deal alignment between what lights you up and what a company actually does.
Step 1: Choose the missions that move you
We start by asking: “What kind of impact do you want your work to have?”
Whether it's:
- Decarbonizing transportation
- Expanding access to therapy
- Interactive education
- Closing equity gaps in healthcare
- Advancing emerging technologies
You choose the missions that matter to you, and we take it from there. Not to box you in. To help you break out.
The Vire platform enables candidates to showcase their passions and values, making it easier for them and employers to find the right fit.
Step 2: Make your values loud and visible
Your selected missions don't just vanish into the void.
They show up on your profile, as clear signals to employers: “Here's what I stand for. Let's build something meaningful.”
For hiring teams tired of reviewing one-dimensional resumes? It's exactly the signal they've been waiting for.

Step 3: Get matched to companies solving the same problems
Every company on Vire is tagged by the actual problems they're solving, not just their “industry vertical”. These labels are more than just buzzwords. They reflect the real impact a company directs its energy toward.
Your preferences guide the matching algorithm, prioritizing roles that align with your mission.

💡 Why it matters
We aren't making this up. Your job isn't just your job. And studies show it.
It's your energy, your ambition, your time, your d*mn life.
And when that energy gets funneled into something you care about? It shows.
- 📈 McKinsey found people who feel purpose at work are 5x more fulfilled, 4.5x more likely to report better health and 6x more likely to stick around.
- 💥 Gallup Engagement Report found only 23% of employees are truly engaged in their work, and that disengagement costs billions and leads to high turnover.
- 🌍 Blue Zones research on longevity found that people with a clear sense of purpose, what the Okinawans call ikigai, live up to 7 years longer.
Find your people. Build what matters.
At Vire, we believe work should give you more than a paycheck (unless a paycheck is all you want). It should light you up, move you forward, and matter in a way you actually feel. You spend too much of your life working for it to be anything less.
That's why we integrated mission as a core component of our matching experience.
