The gradGREENHOUSE platform was developed based on discussions with universities, employers, and students about what they want from virtual networking and recruiting events. The platform has been described as engaging and intuitive, offering robust functionality with a streamlined user interface, creating a welcoming and versatile virtual recruiting experience.
Students visit booths – dropping a name card, having informal chats or scheduled meetings with company representatives for networking, internships, or jobs. They meet with career coaches on the platform for real-time advice, participate in live presentations by employers, alumni, and career services, and access curated career development resources and assessments within the platform.
