College graduates don’t want jobs; they want careers.

Employers don’t want expendable employees; they want long-term human resources.

So why are there so many “job boards” around?

1stGiG.com is the first career service of its kind specifically designed to connect college undergraduates and recent college graduates and the companies that value their skills. There are no jobs posted here, but there are countless opportunities for internships and employment.

Here’s how it works:

• Our precision matching matrix identifies compatible profiles between young career-bound talent and potential employers
• When the talent accepts the match, an introduction is made with the prospective company
• Over time, both parties make multiple connections, establish a relationship and create “opportunity pools” based on their mutual interest
• When the right opportunity arises, the parties are prepared to move forward in the hiring process – eliminating the time-consuming process that has been the status quo.

It’s a richer, longer-term approach to career development designed to make the “first gig” a better experience for everyone involved.
