Showcase talent to the world
Pounse is a free talent platform for schools, students and employers, to find each other, connect and catalyze grad employability.
Why Pounse?
LinkedIn and Job Boards aren't working for our grads.
Today’s job boards and applicant tracking tools are burying our grads in a sea of noise: 1 LinkedIn profile among 1 billion; 1 resume in a stack of 1,500. This isn't just hurting grads, it's overwhelming hiring managers.
Pounse's mission is to cancel the noise and bring hiring clarity to schools, students and hiring managers.
Pounse builds connections
The grad hiring ecosystem is made up of three participants: the student, the school and the hiring partner. On Pounse, those groups are individually supported by 3 tools that work harmoniously together to encourage engagement, connections and new hires.
Pounse HUB for Schools
Schools can invite students and employers onto one space, where showcasing talent is gorgeous and effortless.
Pounse PRO for Grads
Grad career profiles are guided to show skills in context, reflect verified projects, and invite feedback from coaches.
Pounse HIRE for Partners
Partners can search through grad cohorts via skills and title matching algorithm, dig in to details, save, and connect.
Resume 2.0
Hiring today is a messy, noisy, hurdle-jumping process. Why not make it easier for your grads with a centralized, career profile that is easy to create, collaborate on and showcase to employers.
Content, context and credibility
LAYERS OF VALUE in a Profile
Sizing up a potential hire from a resume is hard with today's resumes. That's why Pounse profiles have 3 layers of value. Content is the basics: a list of skills, experiences & education. Context shows how skills are used in experiences and examples of work. Credibility comes from proof, certification and endorsements.
Quantified skills to put things in perspective
A laundry list of skills on a resume is hard to evaluate. That's why a Pounse profile includes a score that reflects context (application) and certification (credibility).
Anatomy of an experience
Traditional experiences like a job and education are expected, but what about a project or even a career gap? Pounse has a space for these and makes experience a story that is clear, succinct, and relevant to hiring managers.
Verified Experiences
Verified experiences bring credibility to a profile and give hiring managers more confidence. Verified by teachers, managers, peers, clients show up as a green shield and contribute to a profile score.
A marketplace with wings
Pounse HUB is comprised of a set of tools that raise the reach and productivity of career services. From showcasing students to broadcasting events and projects to your grads. It's free to use up to 100 grads,
An Elegant Showcase
A showcase is a spotlight on profiles that can be shared with specific partners or to anyone, even non Pounse accounts, via unique URL. This replaces the overwhelming chase for resumes and the underwhelming presentation of emailed PDF resumes.
Easy, flexible and insightful Showcase
It only takes 3 clicks to create a showcase with plenty of metrics to measure your ROI on effort. As student availability changes, edit live showcases on the fly without having to create new ones.
Invite Coaches and Faculty
Involve your faculty to share reviews, coach their students, and provide verifications. By involving faculty, student engagement skyrockets and clarity into student performance becomes clear before selecting your showcase.
Use Events & Projects to draw in Students & Partners
Create events and projects in HUB. Host events on HUB by inviting students and partners. Bring them together to connect with QR code use in person. Projects can be Work integrated Learning, a bootcamp initiative, an internship.
Broadcast to your grads
Communicate with your cohort, remind them to finish their profiles, make sure they've activated their profile, and steer them to events or projects.
Monitor activity and identify skills gaps
Understanding the needs of hiring managers with their search terms helps identify the gap between supply and demand. Whether it's coaching grads to identify the right search terms, or a workshop to top up the proper skills.
Configure and Automate
Automate status changes for grads, to go from draft, to ready, to live on your HUB based on each grads profile score. Configure how you want your HUB presenting grad profiles, background image, and labels of people, partners and projects.
