The real long term benefit is if using the service results in a better entry level position. A person starting a career developing on Win32 will have a significantly different career than someone starting a career in React Native. If Pathrise leads to an increase in job offers (quantity of offers) and an increase in the type of job offers (diversity of projects types) than they can be worth the 7% even if the initial pay is equal because it will give the recent grad more options in choosing their path.
There is a lack of job hunting skills among recent CS and CE students, and there is a potential customer base. If I were looking to invest in Pathrise I would specifically be interested in how they plan on targeting students that have tried and failed in the job market and filtering which students failed because of a lack of job hunting skills and which failed because of a lack of technical skills. Graduates they have tried and failed in the job market are the ones that should see the most benefit from this service.
- Techonomicon 9y agoRecuiters will take around this 7% amount, so it doesn't seem absurd through that lens.
- erispoe 9y agoRecruiters do it on top of your salary, not as part of your salary, and the pain is felt by the company, not the employee.
- kevintxwu 9y agoRight, but as a result, they don't care as much if an individual candidate gets placed - they're more so looking to fill a specific position. Recruiters solve the problem of hiring whereas we solve the problem of job seeking.
