How we help employers find PhD talent
We create customized engagement with high-potential candidates to match hiring needs
We provide access to a talent pool often not showing up in traditional recruitment settings
We expand your applicant pool by powering brand awareness to the right audience
Streamline your hiring process
A lot of hiring processes are geared towards hiring undergrads or PhDs who already have years of experience in industry. We have heard from you that it is a time-consuming and costly struggle to find PhDs with the right skills on the right timelines to fill your needs.
We will work with you to match you with PhD talent through events and to create a custom pipeline to source candidates for your team’s unique needs. And we do it by making sure you connect over the problems you both care about the most.

Customized, relationship-based programming
Hiring may be time consuming and costly, but it's nothing compared to training new talent to hit the ground running. What if your applicants already had the skills they needed to thrive at your organization?
We work with employers to co-design career development workshops for the ProPhounD PhD community so they can get hands on experience and develop new skill to better prepare them for their roles in industry. Who better for PhDs to learn from to know and develop the skills they need than their future employers themselves?
Collaborate with us to create career development workshops, internships, programs, and other valuable experiences for PhDs. Then stay involved and meet them as they grow, so you know just who to hire.
Let's create something together!
Data-driven, scaled solutions
Take our solutions to scale! Employers will no longer need to work slowly through individual universities one at a time. We provide direct access to a global PhD network, so we can be a one-stop-shop for reaching PhDs around the world.
Unlike traditional recruiting agencies, we aim to help clients develop a persistent talent pipeline so they can hire the best candidate, not just the only available one. This means providing information from PhDs that is often hidden on other hiring sites and networking platforms that are not tailored to this niche audience. Our team’s deep understanding of both PhDs and employers makes us uniquely positioned to build bridges and identify the key information.
Our principles
We believe that PhD talent needs to be approached differently.
And, you need different information about them than you would for undergraduates.
Current university career fairs are largely focused on undergraduates. PhDs often don’t attend these events because they know this. They also rarely make themselves visible on sites like LinkedIn or Handshake.
Being PhDs ourselves, we know what it takes to reach out to this demographic and help them learn about the exciting opportunities that wait outside of academia. We want to help companies approach them in a way they are excited about.
We will help you work with university career services, without the red tape.
University career services are often under-staffed and under-funded. We help them directly by connecting them to employers who are passionate about solving world-changing problems. This way, opportunities at your company can be shared with PhD students and postdocs through a source they already listen to. We know you’re excited about the problems you’re working on, and PhDs are excited to learn about them!
We serve as an interface between universities and employers.
We are dedicated to facilitating conversation, connection, and relationships between employers and universities. By doing so, we lighten the load of hiring teams and university career offices. As a result, universities can provide opportunities to interface with employers and PhDs have greater access to exciting opportunities.

Together, we’ve created exciting programming that successfully connected PhDs with employers who need them.
