Problem
Students often rely on static text resumes that provide limited insight into their personality, communication skills, and work samples, making it difficult for employers to assess fit before career fairs. Recruiters also face inefficiencies when trying to identify suitable candidates among large, homogeneous resume collections.
Solution

The platform is plug‑and‑play, requiring no complex integration, and is accessible to all institutions, students, and employers at no cost. By presenting richer candidate profiles ahead of recruiting events, Snapshot enables employers to preview and prioritize students more effectively, while giving students a means to showcase their unique strengths. The service is built to be secure and FERPA‑compliant, using one‑time passwords to protect student data.
