Dive Insight:
Campus Job claims more than 125,000 students from more than 2,200 universities in its network. Its original goal was to open up the hiring process so small startups would have as much access to qualified candidates as major corporations. Campus Job’s model automatically matches students with job postings based on their stated qualifications, saving students and employers time. The tool could help campuses nationwide bolster their career offices, highlighting opportunities for students beyond those that come up at career fairs.
