Millions of college students struggle to land their first job, and companies struggle to hire the right junior candidate, leading to the multi-billion dollar recruiting industry in need of better technology. Simplify allows applicants to seamlessly apply to multiple job openings at once.
: Among the millions of college students and new grads applying for job openings, which ones face the greatest challenge in securing their first role?: We’ve observed that students who lack industry connections, access to professional networks, guidance from friends or family, or those transitioning into new industries typically face disproportionately larger challenges in securing employment.
Ultimately, our ability to support both students and career centers stems from our use of holistic candidate profiles. We’re looking to build a frictionless candidate-side experience, leveraging their profiles—complete with preferred industry, skills, and more—to personalize job discovery and, in the process, save them time by eliminating repetitive applications using our 1-click autofill feature.
We’ve placed a high emphasis on solving this problem. More than 85 percent of our 30,000+ users are persons of color and come from more than 1,100 schools across the nation. We also recognize that employers today are working diligently to eliminate implicit biases from their hiring processes. We’re providing the tools and infrastructure to make it easy to accomplish their goals by allowing them to understand their inbound and connecting them to diverse talent in a candidate-friendly manner.
