Engage & Stay Connected

Traditional CRM systems don’t enable connection and engagement to K-12 students. You need a system like XLeap that provides students with a digital portfolio with their skills and experience, as they develop and then does skills-matching to your postings in real time. Students want to use XLeap as it provides them with a lifetime digital portfolio and a way to engage and even apply for opportunities throughout their development and career.

From the company perspective you need a way to offer opportunities to K-12 and college students, identify matched candidates to these opportunities, receive applications or inquiries and finally to monitor this talent pool for years as their development progresses. You need a system like XLeap that supports the student journey from middle and high school to college and then through to their adult career. A system that brings in the ecosystem of company and secondary education partners with opportunities for these students.

It is impossible to build, engage and stay connected to a talent pool over years of development without a system in place to do that. This is why many workforce development programs are not viewed as successful, they cannot point to the talent pool they are building. They can only claim anecdotal evidence of student interest through outreach activities.
