What is campus2careers?

campus2careers (C2C) is the first career community in the world that matches educated and motivated college students and recent grads with small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) for entry-level jobs, internships, and project-based work. More than a job board, campus2careers uses preference and skills-based matching, enhanced filters, and rich digital profiles to help companies source, screen, and select students without leaving their office. campus2careers moves on-campus recruiting online, offering SMBs a simple but effective way to engage tomorrow’s leaders while significantly saving costs and time.

Why campus2careers?

campus2careers was founded by Jay Whitchurch and Nathan Green, former senior executives at Pearson, the largest publisher and educational content provider in the world.  Having been small business owners, college recruiters, and management consultants in the talent space before, we knew there was an opportunity to improve both the existing online and on-campus recruiting processes.  With help from recruiting experts, advisors from the IC2 Institute (http://www.ic2.utexas.edu) at The University of Texas at Austin, and student leaders across multiple colleges, we are building a solution that not only improves college recruitment but also creates a bridge to campus for the largest segment of our economy – small and medium-sized businesses.   We believe this ‘missing middle’ is the biggest gap in our labor market today and have designed campus2careers as the bridge between these huge underserved markets.

Employers – Find Your Future Employees:

campus2careers levels the playing field so start-ups, small and medium-sized businesses (targeted as organizations < 1,000 employees) can recruit student talent without a campus recruiting budget.  We will offer a low-priced solution (after a free introductory trial period) that will provide significant benefits to SMBs including:

• Less time sifting through mounds of resumes to find the “diamond in the rough” – our simple, automated matching capabilities will allow you quickly access students that would be a good fit for the requirements of the job and culture of your company

• Substantial savings over traditional job boards – campus2careers is built for SMBs so you get the right amount of functionality for a much lower price

• Greater reach (more students from more schools) – access to educated and energetic talent that was uneconomical to recruit before

• Ability to build your own careers page – use our site to provide content that will help your company build a brand on campus and in the community

Students – Find Your Future Career:

campus2careers gives you access to opportunities not available on campus or through other job boards and then provides the tools to find your career.  As a student, use of the site is completely free and will provide the following benefits:  

• Access to hidden jobs – over 99% of US companies are SMBs and over 75% of the jobs added since January 2009 are at companies of less than a 1,000 employees; yet companies this size cannot afford to recruit on campus so they are often hidden to you

• Better opportunities – working at an SMB can be far more rewarding than a larger employer as you will get an opportunity to make a difference Day 1 and be more than a job description or employee ID number

• Suggested companies and opportunities - we know how hard it is to find the right job (or internship) and have built our site to take some of the guesswork out of the process by matching you with opportunities based upon your skillset, preferences, and interests

• Be more than a resume – use our site to build a rich digital profile or virtual resume that makes you stand out through your video, e-portfolio, and more

Career Centers – Find Your Future Trends: 

campus2careers extends the opportunities available to a career center by engaging companies from across the country or your backyard more economically.  As a career center or college, our site is completely free to use and we hope to partner with you to:

• Bring new companies to campus virtually – through our career community we can offer new and exciting opportunities to students from companies who have not traditionally come to campus to recruit

• Measure and track key analytics to support your on-campus activities – future releases will be able to provide you reports that indicate what careers students are pursuing, why, and how their educational experience or your career advice contributed to their decision

• Offer another perspective – small businesses have different needs than larger employers and are looking for new approaches to recruit student talent

• Provide content and career advice to students – our focus is not in providing career-related content, so we plan to direct students using our site back to your center to help them make a career decision
