About GIGU
gigU is a premium matchmaking marketplace that leverages technology capabilities to match businesses with college student freelancers, to fulfill short-term project needs.
In a competitive landscape where talent wins, the current recruiting channels for accessing, assessing, & hiring students do not work for employees, universities, and students. On the other side of the landscape, students need help building relevant experiences and finding jobs, all while accumulating student loan debt & paying high college costs.
Our mission is to provide a one-stop-shop recruiting channel for companies to tap into under-utilized early career professionals at colleges, while preparing them to be highly skilled and successful professionals through project-based gigs.
Our vision is to create a highly skilled, diverse, and equitable workforce for all.
For our partners who value internships, want to develop talent, and yearn for standardization - gigU is here to help!
