Private Jobs Marketplace for Your Graduates

Introduction

Public job boards are overwhelming and inefficient for graduate placement. Sorting through irrelevant listings and competing with thousands of applicants wastes your team’s time. A LinkedIn report notes that 80% of employers priotritise skills over degrees, yet manual searches struggle to align roles with your graduates’ abilities.

A private jobs marketplace changes this, offering curated, automated placement. This post explains why public boards fall short, how a private marketplace transforms placement, and how Spacewalk’s platform makes it seamless, helping graduate job matching and to place graduates faster.

Limitations of Public Job Boards

Public job boards create barriers to effective placement:

• Irrelevant Listings: Many roles don’t match your graduates’ skills.
• High Competition: Graduates compete with mass applicants.
• Time-Intensive: Filtering listings is manual and slow.
• Lack of Control: No customisation for your program’s needs.

These issues hinder your ability to place graduates efficiently, reducing your program’s impact. A private marketplace offers a tailored solution.

Benefits of a Private Jobs Marketplace

A private jobs marketplace curates roles specifically for your graduates, automating the placement process. Key advantages include:

• Curated Roles: Only relevant jobs, aligned with your program. This means graduates find suitable opportunities faster.
• Reduced Competition: Exclusive access for your learners.
• Automation: Job sourcing and matching happen instantly.
• Customisation: Tailor job streams to your curriculum.

A provider using a private marketplace saw a 55% increase in placement speed, per Spacewalk’s metrics, proving its value.
