Reinventing the Job Feed
Who wants to scroll through feeds of advertisements when looking for help? PeopleGrove is the easiest way for students and alumni to get jobs, connecting learners to not just openings, but also to insider alumni who are waiting to help learners get offers.
Unite the Entire Campus Online
To grow your community into a thriving success, we apply the successes we’ve seen with our 450+ partners. The best part? We handle all the work within the platform, so all you have to do is evangelize on your campus and pocket the accolades.
