We provide a virtual career center platform for higher education institutions. Our platform helps students engage with career resources, networks, and opportunities by making career services more visible and accessible. It combines content management with student communication tools.

The virtual career center acts as a central hub for career data, resources, and opportunities. It’s institutionally branded, integrates with existing career tools, and recommends content to students and alumni based on their backgrounds and goals. We also provide data and analytics to track user engagement.

Our customers include institutions such as MIT, Arizona State, Yale, University of Florida, UCLA, George Washington University, Michigan State University, and Johns Hopkins University. Our customers report a 90% average positive outcome rate, 42 million interactions with career resources annually, and an 88% increase in student engagement within a year of launching their virtual career center.

We were founded in 2013 in Boston and are backed by education technology investors including Strada Education, LearnLaunch, and Growth Street Partners.

Our mission is to help the next generation realize their full potential by improving access to career resources, networks, and opportunities early and throughout their careers. We aim to make career services accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Our core values are:

• Put the team first: Work for our mission, customer success, and each other.
• Embrace the friction: Face obstacles proactively and solve difficult problems.
• Always stay curious: Ask thoughtful questions to deepen understanding and empathy.
• Do our best work: Strive for excellence because of the potential impact on millions of students, alumni, and staff.

We are a remote-first company with over 30 employees across 13 states and 3 countries. Our team embraces a “work from anywhere” approach, with no physical office.

We are mission-driven and focus on building a connected, inclusive, and goal-oriented culture. We build strong connections among team members through virtual activities. Our culture values diverse perspectives, encourages open feedback, and empowers employees to make an impact. Our team members are passionate, compassionate, and driven by our mission.

We offer several employee benefits, including unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO) and 15 holidays. This includes a “winter break” during the last week of the year, when the company mostly shuts down. Employees receive an annual $600 home office reimbursement and 12 weeks of paid parental leave. We also provide 401K matching.
