We believe workers
deserve a heads up.
That's it. That's the mission.
When companies plan layoffs, they file public notices 60-90 days in advance. We make sure you see them—so you can prepare, not panic.
Why we built this
A quick story over coffee ☕
Every year, millions of Americans lose their jobs to layoffs. Most find out the same day—or worse, through a news article or a locked laptop.
But here's what most people don't know: companies are legally required to file public notices before large layoffs. These WARN Act filings are scattered across 50 different state websites, in different formats, updated at different times.
We built Layoff iQ to change that. We aggregate this public data, make it searchable, and alert you when something affects your company, industry, or location.
Because you shouldn't have to be a data analyst to know if your job is at risk. 🎯
What we stand for
These aren't corporate buzzwords. They're the principles that guide every decision we make.
Transparency Over Surprise
Layoffs shouldn't blindside anyone. We believe workers deserve the same information that companies have—before it's too late to act.
Time is Everything
The difference between 60 days notice and finding out the day of? That's the difference between landing on your feet and scrambling.
People First, Always
Behind every layoff statistic is a real person with bills, a family, and dreams. We built this for them—not for recruiters, not for investors.
Your Privacy is Sacred
We will never tell your employer you're here. Your job search, your risk assessment, your data—it stays yours. Period.
What we'll always do
Trust is earned, not claimed
We know you're trusting us with sensitive information about your career. We take that seriously—and we'll never take it for granted.
Who this is for
We built Layoff iQ for anyone who wants to stay informed about their job security—whether you're checking on your current employer, researching a potential new job, or just prefer to be prepared for whatever comes next.
