Working at RippleMatch:

The current status quo of finding a first job is broken: Traditional career services and job boards with millions of postings aren't very helpful, and figuring out where to begin your career is a difficult and overwhelming decision. It's also not a fair contest. For many Gen Z candidates, opportunity is limited based on where they attend school and their personal networks.

RippleMatch is changing the way Gen Z finds work. Our recruitment platform leverages AI to automate inbound applicant review and outbound sourcing, matching candidates to the right roles and eliminating the most time-intensive parts of the recruitment process for both sides. Leading employers leverage RippleMatch to build diverse, high-performing teams and Gen Z job seekers across the country trust RippleMatch to launch and grow their careers.

Since launching RippleMatch from a college dorm room in 2016, we've raised $88 million in venture funding – including from prominent investors like Goldman Sachs – helped tens of thousands of users find jobs, expanded to 1,700+ colleges & universities, and brought on hundreds of leading employers as customers (such as EY, eBay, MongoDB, and more). Our tight-knit team of 80+ talented people work hard, celebrate wins, and care deeply about changing the way finding a job works.
