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 have built 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.
