CareerOS

What CareerOS does

CareerOS is a Barcelona-headquartered SaaS company that operates a unified career management platform connecting universities, their students and alumni, and employers within a single system. The platform addresses the fragmentation of career-services tooling by replacing point solutions for advising, employer relations, alumni management, and outcomes reporting with one shared workflow that supports cohort-level analytics, individualized student coaching, and board-ready accreditation exports. Core products include the CareerOS application, ResumeOS (an AI-assisted resume builder with ATS-aligned scoring), AlumniOS (outcome tracking that ties alumni touchpoints to placements, NPS, and donation likelihood), a Chrome extension that imports LinkedIn contacts and job postings into the platform, and a digital Internship Agreements workflow with Advanced Electronic Signature compliance. The platform is GDPR- and FERPA-compliant, EU-hosted, CASA Certified Tier 2, and integrates with LinkedIn, Salesforce, Canvas, Handshake, Outlook, Gmail, Indeed, and JobTeaser.

The business model combines enterprise SaaS subscriptions to universities (individually negotiated annual contracts with SSO/SIS integration and 30-day deployment) with a three-tier employer subscription stream (Free, Basic, Premium). Students access the platform free of charge, gated by their university's subscription, which serves as the primary distribution lever. The company serves 70+ universities globally — including Oxford Saïd, ESADE, Berkeley Haas, WHU, ESMT Berlin, Georgetown, Rice, Bocconi, HEC Paris, and ESSEC — and reports that 100% of partner universities would recommend the platform, with a 5x increase in career-services-to-student interactions and 21% of students landing roles at their target company. Distribution runs through enterprise field sales for universities and a self-serve PLG motion for employers, supplemented by event-driven employer engagement (campus fairs, virtual recruiting events) and an EFMD Global partnership via the merged Highered platform.

The entity is privately held under Jobworx CareerOS SL (NIF ESB70713623), with Marcus Castro as Managing Director and Oleksii Reshetnik as co-founder and CTO. Disclosed funding includes a $1.2M round in February 2024 from Super Angels and Vimajo Family Office, a subsequent round from FJ Labs in November 2024, and a 2026 round from Archipelago Next. In January 2026, CareerOS announced a strategic merger of operations with Highered (a Norway-based EFMD Global careers partner), combining student-first execution technology with Highered's employer and university network while preserving Highered as a standalone brand. No revenue, ARR, headcount figure, or detailed cap table has been publicly disclosed.
