Bowsy - Dublin

Bowsy is revolutionizing how companies source and employ top talent for graduate recruitment and how undergraduate and postgraduate students can increase their job prospects while making money in their field of study. The Bowsy platform connects students with global businesses to replace traditional part-time student work with study-relevant tasks and projects that can be completed remotely. For employers, Bowsy eliminates inefficiencies and high costs associated with large company graduate recruitment processes, as well as the underutilization of a skilled, low cost, and flexible student workforce, particularly amongst SMEs. Bowsy provides employers with a way to replace outdated resumes and assessment centres with an opportunity to evaluate potential talent based on actual performance

With the ability to complete remote, flexible tasks and projects, employers can work with significantly more students at a lower cost, while also addressing the graduate skills gap through related work experience.

Studies have shown that students who work in a job related to their studies tend to have a higher academic performance and better career prospects, yet the majority still work in roles outside of their field of study. Research from Georgetown University also indicates that lower income and minority students often suffer the most from these non-related and inflexible jobs, as they have to work longer hours and have less access to study related work experience.
