Graduateland is an online service that connects current university students and recent graduates with employers. Users are able to create a profile and upload their resume, as well as browse different job opportunities. The portal has more than 350.000 registered users, and through its partnership with more than 25 universities worldwide, has a reach of over 500.000 students.[1][2] The company is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark.[3]

History

Graduateland was founded in 2009 by Patrick Lund, Jens Reimer Olesen, Morten Petersen, Jesper Reeh, and Jonas Reeh. The online job board was launched in 2010.

In 2012, the first Graduateland Gateway was launched in collaboration with Copenhagen Business School.

In 2013, Graduateland received its first funding from Danish business development organization Accelerate Invest.[4][5]

By mid-2015 the Graduateland sister company Ontame.io was officially launched with the aim to create a new service for recruitment data analytics.[6]

In April 2016, the company acquired its Spanish competitor Tyba, a Madrid-based job platform specialized in the field of junior recruitment for the technology sector. Thereby, Graduateland expanded from Northern Europe towards Spain and France.[7]

Features

Users are able to search for jobs according to industry, job type, and geographic location. By creating a Job Alert users will receive updates when jobs who fit their criteria are posted. Although users can upload data from their Facebook, Google or Twitter profile,[8] they are not able to communicate with other users or have access to their profile information.This product can also be used as a customised career portal solution for universities.
