By 2030, the U.S. will have over 10 million unfilled jobs in the tech sector. Recruiting is so broken in that it focuses so much on background information through resumes rather than the candidate’s actual abilities to perform on the job. That’s why millions of great candidates are not getting hired and are working multiple jobs to make ends meet while 72% of recruiters struggling to find qualified candidates. ScholarJet is creating a future where it is exciting and fair to pursue your career in the ever-evolving world of technology. We help candidates showcase their skills to employers as a way to get hired. Rather than filling out resumes, candidates create online project-based profiles by performing simulated tasks that they will be doing on the actual jobs. Employers will then select their favorite candidates to bring in for interviews. Featured in Forbes, Boston Globe, and BostInno.
