Get matched with early talent that sticks.
We match employers with top students who are graduating directly into the workforce.
The Problem
Employers can't find early talent. Most educators aren't job placement experts.
The Problem
Employers can't find early talent. Most educators aren't job placement experts.FOR EMPLOYERS
Hiring new high school graduates feels like a gamble
- New hires often start without fully understanding the role
- Employers lose thousands per hire in training, tools, and churn
- Time and productivity are wasted when the fit isn’t right
Want better-fit candidates who stay and grow?
FOR EDUCATORS
Helping students find paid work is harder than it should be
- Students don’t know what roles exist beyond the obvious
- Outreach from employers is inconsistent and hard to manage
- Schools want to help—but don’t have the tools or visibility to do it effectively
Want better visibility into employers and outcomes?

"I worked three jobs in high school, but every one came from someone my dad knew. That’s not a strategic talent pipeline. That’s luck."A Story From Our Founder
A Story From Our Founder
At 16, I scooped ice cream, worked arcade shifts, and sold pizza because retail jobs were right in front of me. In college, my internships came from my parents’ networks, not open opportunities.
That’s how most early hiring still works. It’s not a system – it’s a lottery based on what and who you know.
For employers? They’re left hoping candidates with the right attributes fall into their lap. Relying on family networks and foot traffic leads to high turnover and mis-matches.
GoPursue is built to change that. With us, companies engage with students who are yearning for great jobs, but default to retail and food service due to lack of knowledge and connections.
I graduated with six figures in student debt before I even knew what careers were out there. That’s the cost of a broken system—one that fails students and employers alike.
Let’s build something better. What if the recruitment and application process for local jobs could be just as streamlined and robust as it is for colleges?
