Most people use allUP to support their colleagues, highlight their companies and connect with other top professionals. The allUP community is a place for everyone who is growing their career and who wants to lift their network UP.

If I am in a job search, how can allUP help me?

Your allUP profile is designed to help you skip the screening call and show why you are the perfect fit for a role in a way a resume never could. Along with helping you stand out in your job search, here are some of the other ways allUP will help you land the perfect job.

Feedback from experts

We have a Member Placement Team full of recruiters who will give you feedback on your content before any external hiring manager or recruiter sees it.

A broad network of recruiters and hiring managers

We will meet with you to understand your career aspirations, skills, and the types of roles you're seeking so we can match you with the most relevant people in our network.  We'll share your profile with them, highlighting your talents and explaining why we think you'd be a great fit for their team.

Connecting with companies that are looking for your skillset

Thousands of companies use allUP as a platform to find talented people who can fill crucial open roles. Our AI works to surface your profile to recruiters and companies on the platform that are searching for someone with your specific skills and strengths.

Can I reuse my allUP recordings for every company I apply to or do I need to make new ones each time?

Your allUP videos can be used for any job you want to apply for. No need to answer the same redundant screening interview questions over and over. You can even share your public allUP profile with companies you are connecting with outside of allUP.

There are also thousands of hiring managers and recruiters searching allUP for top talent. Your videos make you discoverable to them and they may message you in the app around new opportunities. allUP enables you to tell your story once and have it open countless doors.

Interviewing
I am being asked to create an allUP account as part of applying for a job. Why is this needed?

With hundreds, often thousands of people applying to a single role it’s impossible to do a live screening conversation with every person to find the best fit candidates.

For companies that want to quickly find the best talent for their role, that often means taking shortcuts like filtering by “elite” universities or “top” companies. We believe that this is a recipe for missing amazing talent. Bullet points on a resume just don’t tell the whole story.

Companies partner with allUP to gain a deeper understanding of their candidates and to create a more equitable hiring process. allUP helps companies find the hidden gems in their candidate pool and makes the hiring process more efficient for all parties through asynchronous screenings.

An important benefit for job seekers on allUP is if the role you applied to ends up not being the right fit, our Member Placement Team will help you leverage your allUP profile to find the perfect match with a different company.

Why can't we just do a live interview?

Live conversations are still and should always be a part of the hiring process. Hiring managers have nuanced questions they want to explore in depth with candidates in real time. Providing candidates a space and the opportunity to ask their own questions is just as critical.

For companies, live screening calls are time consuming, which limits the number of candidates they can speak with. It takes a huge amount of work to filter down hundreds of resumes to the few they actually do call (thanks to chatgpt, all resume bullet points look the same so companies usually just filter for “elite” colleges and “top” companies and miss out on amazing talent).

Scheduling and performing these calls then takes more time. Video helps recruiters and hiring managers gain a deep understanding of all of their candidates in the same amount of time it historically would take them to connect with a small group of candidates for a live screening.

For candidates, the benefit of recording video and making the screening call asynchronous with allUP is they can pick the questions they want to answer and then share it with as many companies as they want. No more having to answer the same redundant interview questions over and over. Your answers also make you discoverable on allUP so recruiters and hiring managers can connect with you around new opportunities.

For companies and candidates, making the screening component of the hiring process asynchronous improves the dynamic of live conversations, making them more productive. Having seen the candidates’ videos, hiring managers and team members on the interview loop come to the conversations more connected and prepared. Without having to spend time on the basics, there is more time for candidates to ask incisive questions and be sure the company is the right fit for them.
