Networking, Handled

Current networking tools aren’t serving students

Students suffer from:

Increasing Need for Referral-Based Recruiting

The rise of digital applications has overwhelmed hiring teams, with 85% of jobs now filled through networking and referrals

Career management teams lack the capacity to provide personalized networking guidance to all students

Students are left to navigate recruiting process alone and rely primarily on online applications through services like Handshake

Digital applications only yield~15% interview conversion rate

Student-Alumni Networking Inefficiencies

Career management teams still tell students to create their own excel spreadsheets to track networking interactions, limiting students' relationship building to their personal organizational skills

Finding high value networking targets, crafting individual outreach messages, and staying on top of follow ups is time consuming and exhausting for students

Missed Opportunity for Collective Knowledge

Students have access to a wealth of knowledge but cannot possibly leverage all information provided by the university environment

Includes classes offered but not taken, classmates' experience, and knowledge of career counselors they don't get to see

Students' ability to absorb the information contained within their school ecosystem no longer needs to be capped by their time constraints

aluminate: students’ guiding light for career advancement

How it works:

How Aluminate Works

Upon creating an account, students log in through their LinkedIn, connect their email, upload their resume, and provide career aspirations so the platform can recommend the highest value alumni, peer, and professor contacts to connect with.

Advanced CRM functionality seamlessly tracks students' interactions, implementing AI notetaking, smart follow up reminders, further connection suggestions, and customized message drafting to supercharge networking efforts. 

Our platform serves as a repository for universities' business knowledge including but not limited to recorded classes, previous interview questions, industry hiring trends over time. Currently universities house all of this information but students are left to find, digest, and utilize it all on their own. 

Schools lack comprehensive visibility on the interaction between students and alumni and therefore cannot adjust matchmaking recommendations with actual data. aluminate gives schools a window into all student-alumni network activity to help inform their career coaching and alumni outreach strategies. 

AI-enabled nature of the platform means continuous insights will be gained through each interaction to distill data-backed networking best practices, trends in hiring, most pertinent information students need to know for recruiting, and which community members are responding to students and sharing insights.
