Review:

Symplicity Recruit gives employers the opportunity to connect with a large network of students and alumni from top colleges and universities around the globe. The platform enables employers to post jobs directly to school job portals or set up campaigns to connect with qualified candidates.

Students can use the online portal or mobile app to easily upload their resumes, apply for jobs, receive personalized job and internship recommendations, schedule interviews, and more.

Pros:

  • The platform provides access to a network of 4 million students and alumni from schools across the globe.
  • Employers can choose from a range of plans, including discounted bulk posting packages.
  • Job posts can be enhanced with videos and social media links.
  • A user-friendly employer dashboard makes it easy to manage job posts, applicants, interview schedules, and more.
  • Employers can create company profiles and include videos, images, and additional links for increased brand awareness.
  • The site features a searchable resume database with more than 500,000 candidate profiles.
  • The Smart Invites feature automatically targets suitable candidates.
  • Employers can access Symplicity's event directory, host virtual events, and promote across the site's network of schools.
  • The site's analytics tools allow employers to identify top schools to connect with based on an engagement score.
  • Customized search and database tools can be used to reach a diverse talent pool.

Cons:

  • The free plan does not include job postings.
  • Jobs are only live for 30 days and extensions incur a fee.
  • Job post enhancement, such as videos, company culture benefits, and social media links, are charged extra.

Symplicity Recruit vs. Handshake:

Like Symplicity, Handshake allows employers to post jobs directly to school career center portals and engage with candidates via the platform. That said, Handshake allows all graduates who attended a four-year college nationwide to search and apply for jobs through its platform, whereas Symplicity is only accessible to students from member schools.

Symplicity Recruit vs. Idealist:

Both Idealist and Symplicity have big talent pools. Symplicity reaches roughly 4 million job seekers, and Idealist has just over a million unique visitors each month, but Idealist is more affordable. Symplicity, however, offers more features, including applicant tracking and employer branding.

Symplicity Recruit vs. Indeed:

Indeed is a popular job board that advertises a wide variety of general vacancies. In comparison, Symplicity Recruit targets a more niche audience of students and graduates in search of early career roles. The platforms offer a similar feature profile, including resume searches and job post analytics, as well as a free job posting plan.
