Build a new kind of talent pipeline
Meet talent outside of your current reach—earlier than your competitors—and keep them for 3+ years after hire, with our customized employer-sponsored student loan programs.
How it Works
Match
You select from pre-vetted, talented students while they’re entering or already in school.
Commit
You commit upfront to repay their loans after graduation, in exchange for a future employment period.
Hire
Students sign employment agreements while still in school, and officially join your company after graduation.
Repay
Once hired, we handle all reporting and repayment, and you only pay down loans while employees are retained—so there’s nothing to claw back.
We'll show you the numbers
Based on a sample 150 sponsored roles, and average cost of retention and turnover, here’s an example of what you could expect to see when you partner with us:*
