For colleges
A career outcomes partnership built for your students, not a generic jobs board.
Everything NextJobStep does for your students, and exactly what your careers or international office gets with a partnership.
For your students
The full platform, for every student you add.
This is not a stripped-down version of the product. A college licence covers your members, so every student gets the same tools.
Application tracking
Paste a job link and the details fill in. Statuses, notes, documents and a full timeline for every application.
One job board
Listings from major job boards and company career pages, gathered in one place.
Employer sponsorship history
Real permit data per employer from Ireland's register, not a self-reported flag.
Matches and skill gaps
Roles matched to each student's résumé, with the skills they have and the ones they're missing.
Verifiable reports
A PDF of their search with a QR code anyone can use to confirm it's genuine.
Community feed
Peer posts and job leads alongside the listings, reviewed before they go public.
For your team
A portal your careers team can run.
Manage your members, follow their applications, publish your own roles and run events, all scoped to your college.
- Add students and staff, and invite people with single-use links
- Follow your members' applications and a full activity trail
- Publish job posts and manage candidates
- Create events and job fairs for your students
- One licence covers your members, with capacity you control
Sponsorship data
Employer history, not a listing flag.
Some platforms show a sponsorship flag set by whoever posted the job. NextJobStep shows employer-level history from Ireland's employment-permit register, so students can tell the difference between a company that says it sponsors and one that actually has.

Common questions
No. It gives your team a portal, the ability to post your own listings and events, and your students better tools. The parts of careers support that need a person stay with your team.
Some platforms show a listing-level flag set by whoever posted the job. NextJobStep shows employer-level history from Ireland's employment-permit register and when that data was last updated, so students can tell which employers have actually held permits.
Your admins see your members, invitations, job posts, applications and a full activity log, for your college only.
We will walk you through our data handling and privacy practices on a call, and go through the specifics for your institution before you commit to anything.
