STUDENTS & FULL-TIME JOB SEEKERS
Ever consider starting your own business or becoming an executive at a firm? You'll need experience, and the right kind. Here's your chance to work at a startup, alongside a more experienced entrepreneur.
Most entrepreneurs will tell you that the team around them makes all the difference in the world. They're looking for smart, energetic people who can provide value from day one - sell, design, grow, improve a product or process, ensure customer success, and help drive the business forward.
St. Louis' startup ecosystem is burgeoning with many promising young companies. Incumbent corporations need access to on-demand innovation and are also seeking entrepreneurial minds who can help their businesses stay ahead of the curve in their respective industries. Are you ready to start building and commit to extending our economic frontier?
HIRING COMPANIES
Identifying high-quality, motivated job candidates as you build your teams can be a grueling process. How would you like to spend one day meeting a selected, pre-vetted, group of young people who want to work at a startup?
The Startup Talent Showcase is not your typical career fair. We recruit and assemble a line-up of eager students and new graduates who pitch to you for a startup job. Candidates will be seeking summer internships and full-time opportunities.
Through our partnership with PluggedIn, we'll be powering the job fair through its talent matchmaking platform designed just for startups and large firms with innovation arms.
