Better graduate outcomes.
That's the mission.
We're building the platform that will give universities higher employment rates, faster hiring, and the data to prove it — to employers, to government, and to the next intake of students choosing where to study.
Based on projected outcomes from pilot research and modelling
Graduate Employability Is a European Problem
Universities are under pressure to prove that degrees lead to employment. The numbers are getting harder to ignore.
EU Youth Unemployment
Youth unemployment across Europe remains stubbornly high. Universities are increasingly judged on what happens after graduation — not just during it.
Employers Report Skills Gaps
The majority of employers say graduates aren't job-ready. CVs and transcripts don't tell them what a graduate can actually do. The trust gap costs everyone.
Data Arrives Too Late
Graduate outcome data typically lags by a year or more. By the time you see the problem, another cohort has already graduated into it.
🇮🇪 Launching in Ireland
89,000 graduates a year. 34 universities. A government demanding proof of outcomes. Ireland is where we're building the model — before scaling across Europe.
The Challenge
- Youth graduate unemployment 10.8%
- Employers reporting skills gaps 82%
- Annual graduates entering the market ~89,000
What We're Building Towards
- Target employment rate 89%
- Faster time to hire -22 days
- Graduate salary uplift +€4,500/yr
- University ROI 6:1
“The system that connects Irish graduates to employers is still built on PDFs and job boards. EmployAb changes that — with verified data employers actually trust.”— EmployAb Ireland pilot research
What We're Building
Universities tell us they need three things: proof that graduates get hired, data that satisfies government, and a platform they actually own. That's what EmployAb is designed to deliver.
Prove Your Outcomes
Show employment rates, time-to-hire, and salary uplift by department, cohort, and discipline — with real-time data, not annual surveys. Give your governing authority numbers they can act on.
Connect Graduates to Employers
Employers search your talent pool directly — not a generic jobs board. Graduates get matched to roles that need their verified skills, not their keyword-stuffed CVs.
Own Your Platform
White-label deployment means it's your brand, your data, your relationships. EmployAb runs behind the scenes — students and employers see your university, not ours.
Credentials That Travel
Your graduates' skills are portable across all EU member states. Compliant with European standards from day one — no retrofitting, no bolt-ons. Ready when you are.
Designed to Work With What You Already Have
EmployAb won't replace your systems — it will connect them. Your registrar, LMS, careers service, and employer partnerships all stay in place. We'll make them work together.
No Rip & Replace
Keep your existing platforms. EmployAb sits between them, so verified data flows where it needs to go — without migration headaches or retraining staff.
Intelligence That Compounds
Every graduate placed, every employer match, every outcome tracked builds a picture of what your teaching actually produces — and what the market wants next.
Stronger With Every Partner
More universities means more verified graduates. More graduates means more employers searching. The network gets more valuable for everyone who joins.
Not Just Graduates — Apprentices Too
Ireland needs 10,000 new apprentice registrations per year. The same platform we're building for graduates will work for apprentices — designed to give SOLAS and ETBs real-time data on completions, placements, and outcomes.
- Verified credentials for every apprenticeship phase
- Better matching between apprentices and employer placements
- Real-time completion and employment tracking
- Bridges further education and higher education pathways
