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:
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.
