ABOUT EPIC HIRE
Epic Hire wants to give university students the space to be more than just a resume. We want to revolutionize the early career hiring process because students’ futures and college stories shouldn’t be reduced to two pieces of paper: a diploma and resume. By tapping into the power of social media, professional networking, and personal storytelling, students can post photos, share their passions, showcase their personality, and list job preferences. This allows students to be hired based on who they are as people rather than by the boxes they check. On the flip side, our clients are given unprecedented access to students and student clubs. Through our subscription-based model, clients have the opportunity to meet students where they are and feel excited about the connections they make on Epic Hire.
