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.

resume 2 point oh showcase your grads

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.

The Wall Street Journal reported that more than half of grads are underemployed.

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.

Skills Experiences Verifications

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.

Showcase grads to hiring partners

Pounse HUB is refreshingly simple and engaging for schools, students and employers. Career Services can invite students, engage, showcase and track grad activity all under one roof. There's nothing passive about this platform, it's sticky and enticing for both students and partners because it was designed for them to get full value. And once it has been configured to schools, it's practically effortless.

LAYERS OF VALUE in a Profile

Sizing up a potential hire from a resume is a very difficult task with just a list of skills and experiences. That's why Pounse created a profile with 3 layers of value. Content is what we already find or resumes. Context gives hiring managers understanding of how skills have been applied. And credibility comes from proof, certification or endorsements.

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 students

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.
