Jobs Connected

What Jobs Connected does

Jobs Connected, Inc. is a Georgia-incorporated, privately held SaaS company that provides a web-based platform for hosting job fairs, graduate school fairs, and networking events in in-person, hybrid, and virtual formats. Founded in 2015, the platform serves colleges and universities, K-12 school districts, workforce development organizations, employers, government agencies, and consortiums, with named customers including Texas A&M University, George Mason University, Kaiser Permanente, and multiple school districts. The product combines event registration, customizable forms, resume submission, booth filtering, automated reminders, live video chat (via Zoom integration), live captioning, and real-time dashboards, with an 'Attendance Forecasting' feature that aims to predict show-up likelihood among registered attendees. The company monetizes through event hosting fees and platform subscriptions, processing payments via Stripe and selling on a custom enterprise pricing model with multi-year contracts through a direct enterprise field sales motion. Jobs Connected operates with 1-10 employees, has no disclosed funding rounds, no public revenue figures, and pursues growth through conference presence, demo requests, and customer referrals rather than self-serve distribution.
