disrupting the summer internship

September 06, 2022

setting the scene

  • as a college student, you frantically apply to hundreds of internships in hopes that an employer finds something interesting on your resume 🔎

  • weeks go by; you get a few online interview invitations, some automated rejections, but radio silence from the rest 🤬

  • what if there was a better way for students and employers to connect beyond the traditional resume screen and ambiguous summer internship process? 📄

  • this week's company provides a platform for college students to gain professional experience and for employers to better understand gen z 💡

in a sentence

Home From College is a platform for college students to build their careers and companies to connect with students for recruiting and marketing needs

  • students: create a digital business card that communicates interests, passions, and experience; then, apply to gigs ranging from internships to advisory panels

  • companies: hire students for traditional roles or initiatives like campus ambassador programs and product testing

bulleted version: H\FC takes student recruiting to the next level by creating a mutually beneficial platform for students to access work and companies to access the gen z perspective 🎓

due diligence

what we like

  • 🔌 plugging into gen z: companies struggle to understand gen z's needs in a work setting

    • a comprehensive student profile allows employers and marketers to better connect with the soon-to-be most populous generation

  • 💥 the right market: Home From College targets a career-focused, technology-loving audience in a setting where word spreads quickest: college campuses

  • 🔮 the future is data: the company is growing a unique student database that will serve as a powerful tool for corporations looking to access gen z for marketing and recruiting needs

potential risks

  • 😰 competitive landscape: it may be difficult to steal market share from Handshake, recruiting giants, and social media platforms like LinkedIn

  • 👥 limited audience? gen z isn't the only generation fed up with the job search process

  • 📁 company-dependent: it may take some convincing to engage companies on another hiring platform
