What does it do?

UpScored is a career discovery platform that connects young professionals to their best career prospects.

Why do we need it?

Today, job seekers are forced to condense their backgrounds into a few search keywords just to sift through generic search results. We analyze candidates’ skills, work experience, and education to offer a personalized set of opportunities.

Who is it for?

Young professionals looking to advance their careers.

What makes it stand out from the crowd?

Our algorithm scores a resume against thousands of job descriptions in seconds, saving time and frustration. The technology also learns from candidate preferences as candidates can like/dislike prospects and recalibrate future results.

What’s next?

We are developing a tool for job seekers to score their resume against individual job descriptions in order to understand how they fit and what skills they need to learn to land their dream job.
