Human Resources Manager
Company Overview
Parabolic Career is an education technology company that automates the job recruitment process for both candidates and employers. Parabolic leverages its technology and the excessive data in the over saturated hiring market to streamline the hiring process for employers and recruiting process for candidates. Parabolic informs hiring managers of active candidates who are recruiting and directly applies for applications on behalf of active job seekers. Furthermore, Parabolic connects verified professionals to each other in order to give every job seeker access to the robust network required to find employment. For candidates, Parabolic submits job applications, pairs candidates with industry professionals, and provides interview prep software to automate the entire job search process. Parabolic candidate clients include professionals ranging from entry-level to C-suite level and college students pursuing careers in finance, technology, or consulting. For employers, Parabolic accelerates talent acquisition through its resume database, job marketing automation, and application tracking system. Parabolic’s employer clients include alternative investment firms in private equity, private credit, and venture capital. Parabolic has placed candidates ranging from entry-level to C-suite level.
The problem Parabolic solves is an oversaturation of candidate application in the recruiting marketplace. Open roles posted on the internet can attract as many as hundreds of thousands of qualified applicants, often leading to hiring inefficiencies. Over 90% of applications to competitive roles never receive a first round interview and it makes it difficult for the highly-skilled labor market to find work quickly. Over 80% of job offers obtained have come from referrals and this creates a discrepancy for job seekers who do not have access to a robust professional network. Women, minorities, low-income professionals, and immigrants have less access to high paying roles, and the equal opportunity gap continues to widen.
