Why your startup needs to use College2Startup

Let’s face it, majority of startups don’t know where to go to find potential hires. As a result, most resort to trying to tap up other companies’ engineers, go on Craigslist to post jobs, send job descriptions out on Monster and CareerBuilder, and what do you get in return? tens to hundreds of junk applications or resumes from job seekers who aren’t qualified. The problem is this: There is too much “noise” on these job boards. Startup jobs are different from corporate jobs, the office culture is different, approach to work is different and mentality is rarely ever the same. Startups often look for a specific skill set, and there really is no avenue for them to find people with these skill set…until now.

College2Startup works extremely hard to find the right set of people with the required skill set, who are willing and able to work at startups and have opted-in to our mailing list in order to receive notifications when startup jobs become available. The difference is that with College2Startup, you are reaching out to a highly targeted group of people with skills you want for your startup.

1.) It’s quick and easy. Reaching out to thousands of highly targeted and skilled potential hires is the dream of any startup, you want the best of the best but you also don’t want to jump through too many hoops to do it. With C2S, all you do is create an account, and start posting jobs from your account. Once we receive your job and agree that it meets the criteria for what our subscribers are interested in, the job gets included in the next set of jobs we send out in a newsletter. Simple as that. Within a few minutes of the job post, you will start receiving job applications.

2.) You won’t have to sort through junk mail. The people on our mailing list are opt-in and specifically want to work at a startup. They know what startups are like and understand the dynamics.

3.) The interview process starts with College2Startup. We are a startup too and we’ve worked at startups for a long time. We know what is required of a potential hire, and so we ask the right questions in their first application, so you can immediately cut down your list to the closest fit. For engineering jobs, we ask them to provide their github profile link, ask about the languages they code in, projects they’ve worked on etc.. just to give you an idea of this applicant before you even set up an interview.

College2Startup wants to create a “noise” free avenue for startups to find their rockstars.
