Readyforce

Readyforce is a professional network tailored specifically for college students, with a current focus on those studying engineering and computer science. The platform serves as a bridge between social networks like Facebook and professional networks like LinkedIn, offering a unique space for students to share professional information, find peers from other schools, discover relevant events, and connect with mentors or alumni. Additionally, students can share and comment on articles, stories, and career tools, as well as ask and answer career-oriented questions.

For companies, Readyforce provides a robust tool to target top college talent across the United States. Companies can send personalized messages to students based on various criteria such as school and major, build rich-media company profiles, post jobs and internships, and promote events ranging from small dinners to large conferences. The platform also allows companies to announce scholarships and competitions, ask questions about brand reputation or recruiting practices, and share professional content. Furthermore, companies can build and manage custom talent communities, transform paper resumes into searchable profiles, and find career fairs and student-run events like hackathons and conferences.

Readyforce operates on a freemium model, allowing students to join for free while offering premium features and services to companies for a fee. This business model enables Readyforce to monetize its platform through corporate partnerships and premium services, ensuring a sustainable revenue stream.
