A few weeks ago, our Co-Founder Maximilian Stengel joined Gero Hesse on the leading HR-Tech podcast in Germany: Saatkorn. Together, they discussed some of the most important trends in the current job market.
‍

‍The Struggle:

• Most universities struggle to prepare their students for the job market; they are focused on academics, but students are left alone when it comes to networking an applying
• The job market has changed for students:

• Students tend to quickly apply to dozens, if not hundreds of jobs, and often never hear back from the companies (they do this because they don’t know what else to do)
• On the other side of this equation, companies receive hundreds of applications per job posting, and are struggling to identify the best candidates
• Leading to frustration on both sides

• Traditional job boards to not solve this issue:

• Finding a job opening is easier than ever
• Standing out as an applicant and actually securing an offer is harder than ever before

The Solution:

• CareerOS counteracts this development by enabling students to tackle the job search process in a well-guided and well-structured manner
• Students use CareerOS’ networking guidance and features to learn more about companies and roles before applying
• This increases success chances dramatically and reduced job search anxiety
• Some don’t even need to apply online because they get referrals

The Outlook:

• Facing an increasingly competitive job market for their students, universities globally invest more into career development and career advancement tools
• Even traditionally highly academic institutions are accepting this new reality and more and more universities are choosing CareerOS
