A real challenge from your company,
solved by the best students in the country
For a year, a team of pre-selected students works on a problem you set them, guided by your own manager. You meet your future employees in action before they reach the job market.

What a partner company gets
This is not sponsorship and not a careers fair. It is a project meant to end with a result.
A project on your data
You define the challenge yourself — routing, product availability, transport emissions. The team works on your numbers, guided by your manager.
Hiring without a CV pile
For twelve months you see how candidates think, deliver and react when the scope changes. No interview gives you that.
A manager who grows
Leading a student team is leadership practice for your own people — with a measurable outcome for the company, not a workshop in a training room.
Your brand among the best years
You are present at 39 universities, in front of students who already passed their faculty’s own selection. That visibility is not for sale at a careers fair.
How the partnership runs
A year passes between the first call and the closing review. Here is the full cycle.
Step 1
A call about the challenge
Half an hour is enough to judge whether your problem fits a year-long project. We check the scope, the data and your manager’s availability.
Step 2
Team selection
We match students whose fields fit the challenge. You meet the team before the edition starts.
Step 3
A year of work
The team follows the edition calendar: kick-off workshop, work in sprints, progress reviews with your manager.
Step 4
Implementation and hiring
The project ends with a recommendation to implement. That is usually when job offers appear — you already know these people.
What it looks like on your side
The question companies actually ask is not “what does it cost” but “how much of my time will it take”. Here is the full picture.

Questions from companies
How much time will this really take our people?
The manager leading the team spends about four hours a month: a progress review every two weeks plus availability for questions. Most of the effort is at the start, when the challenge is cut down to something a team can finish in a year.
What about the confidentiality of our data?
Every participant signs a confidentiality undertaking before touching any material. You decide the scope — many projects run on anonymised data, because the conclusions need proportions, not customer names.
Can we submit our own challenge?
Yes, and that is the only way it works. There is no catalogue of ready-made topics — a project starts from a problem you actually have, and we help cut it to a scope a team can close within a year.
How are students matched to a project?
We pick participants from fields of study that fit the challenge and make sure the team covers different skills. You meet the line-up before the edition starts.
Can we hire participants?
Yes, and it is one of the reasons companies join. We take no commission on hiring, and offers often appear before the edition ends.
What if the project does not deliver?
The project ends with a recommendation, not a guarantee of implementation. Access to candidates and leadership practice for your manager remain either way — which is why we agree on both goals up front.
What does it cost?
There are two partnership packages; their prices and scope are described in the packages section on this page.
