Direct peers

• Target Jobs: UK graduate recruitment platform with a long-established listings database and employer marketing tools for top UK universities. Directly comparable on geography, candidate segment and core product (job/internship listings for university students).
• Prospects (graduate prospects): UK higher-education careers service providing job listings, advice and events for graduates and students. Directly comparable as a free-to-student UK career platform with university distribution.
• RateMyPlacement: UK platform connecting students with internships, placements and graduate schemes, with employer reviews and editorial content. Directly comparable on UK student/employer marketplace model.
• Handshake: US-headquartered career platform purpose-built for university students and recent graduates, connecting them with employers and internships/graduate roles. Directly comparable to inroad in target user, employer-listing model, and free-to-student distribution; the canonical reference competitor for a UK student-recruitment marketplace.
• 12twenty: University career-services platform used by US business schools and universities to manage recruiting, job postings and outcomes data. Comparable in serving the same student-employer recruiting workflow, though more institutional in distribution.
• GradTouch (targetjobs group): UK graduate-recruitment platform with a strong university-partnership model and targeted employer marketing. Comparable as a free-to-student UK graduate job board with similar employer-monetised business model.
• Milkround: UK graduate jobs and internship board, owned by GTI Media, with deep relationships among UK employers and university careers services. Directly comparable on candidate segment (UK students), listing model and employer-side monetisation.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: Dominant global professional network with extensive job listings, recruiter tools and student/alumni features. Overlaps with inroad on the candidate-discovery and recruiter-outreach layer but as part of a much broader platform; represents the largest incumbent competitive threat.
• Symplicity CSM: Established career-services management platform sold to universities to operate their internal career centres, including job boards, advising and employer engagement. Comparable underlying workflow but sold to institutions rather than directly to students like inroad.

Emerging players

• Student Circus: UK-focused careers platform aimed at international students at UK universities, helping them access graduate employers. Comparable niche and candidate segment (UK-based students), though narrower in candidate focus than inroad.
