EarnIn launches jobs platform. MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - EarnIn, the leading earnings management company, today announced the launch of Earn Better, a jobs platform designed to help the American workforce get back to work faster and improve their earnings over time with better-paying roles. By expanding from helping people access the pay they've already earned to helping them get back to earning faster after job loss, EarnIn is extending its mission to support workers through every stage of their financial journey. Job loss and employment disruptions affect millions of people every year. Today, more than 7 million Americans are unemployed, and over 20 million experience involuntary job separations annually due to layoffs, terminations, or other disruptions. EarnIn has direct visibility into this challenge, with approximately one million customers experiencing income interruptions each year due to job loss. Earn Better is uniquely positioned to solve this disruption, bringing job discovery directly into the EarnIn app with access to job recommendations and free tools to help workers get back to work faster. "Career and financial momentum are tightly connected," said Tuck Hauptfuhrer, VP of Product at EarnIn and former CEO and co-founder of EarnBetter, which supported nearly one million job seekers prior to joining EarnIn. "Many tools that can help in the job search are paywalled, and most job sites are saturated with employer ads and engineered to drive the next click or application. Earn Better was developed to democratize access to support and provide job recommendations not influenced by ads in order to help people get to their next paycheck as quickly as possible." Earn Better is now built directly into the EarnIn app and will launch with access to more than 5 million job openings, along with free, AI-powered tools to help people get hired faster. These include an AI resume and cover letter builder, personalized interview preparation and coaching, and a job tracker to manage applications, all without subscriptions or paywalls. Over time, the platform plans to incorporate EarnIn's proprietary earnings data to identify opportunities that offer stronger pay and more consistent income. "We started EarnIn to help people control their earnings," said Ram Palaniappan, founder and CEO of EarnIn. "The next phase is helping people get back to earning faster and improving their earnings over time. Through EarnIn's network of millions of connected workers, we have real-time visibility into earnings across employers, jobs and locations. We want to harness this data to help working Americans identify pathways to grow their earnings."
EarnIn has launched Earn Better, a jobs platform integrated into its app to help workers find employment faster following job loss. The platform offers access to over 5 million job openings alongside free AI-powered tools, including resume and cover letter builders, interview coaching and job tracking. The move addresses a significant problem: over 7 million Americans are currently unemployed, with 20 million experiencing involuntary job separations annually. EarnIn sees approximately one million of its customers face income interruptions each year due to job loss. Earn Better operates without subscriptions or paywalls and plans to leverage EarnIn's proprietary earnings data to identify higher-paying opportunities. The platform aims to help workers return to earning quickly whilst improving their long-term income prospects through better job matching.
EarnIn has surpassed one million Live Pay transactions since July 2025, marking a shift towards real-time income access. More than 600,000 people joined the waitlist for the feature. Live Pay streams earnings in real time through EarnIn Card, updating continuously as people work rather than following traditional pay cycles. Users log into the app over 50 times monthly to monitor earnings, plan spending and track credit scores. Early data shows customers using Live Pay for four months experienced an average credit score increase of 21 points. The technology addresses the disconnect between digital work and legacy payroll infrastructure, as approximately 73% of US workers remain on biweekly pay schedules designed for a paper-based era, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
