Dive Brief:

• Three 21-year-olds from Singapore have raised $475,000 seed funding for Glints, an employment recruitment website for recent college graduates and soon-to-be grads.
• Glints is developing a “dynamic skills tree” that will allow users to enter their personal interests, receive recommended careers to pursue, and view the projects, internships, and courses to take to pursue each career path, according to Tech in Asia.
• When a skill tree for a career path is completed, employers can view that progress on a Glints profile and contact the user for an interview.

Dive Insight:

Will this be the next big tool to make university career offices' jobs easier? One of the Glints founders describes the approach as game-like, solving the problem that most college graduates have when looking for jobs: an empty LinkedIn profile with no career experiences to list. The website will use a combined human and algorithmic filtering process to rank resumes according to how relevant they are to specified jobs. The algorithm will also be tweaked to allow it to account for individualized priorities of employers. The Glints founders — Oswald Yeo, Ying Cong Seah, and Qin En Looi — have postponed their admissions to Wharton Business School, Stanford University, and the University of California, Berkeley, respectively.
