In the last year, 90,000 meetings between supply and demand were born on Tutored, the start-up that has developed a platform that is now used by over 500,000 students and recent graduates to find work. “The multiplication of the announcements published by the companies in this phase makes us predict that in the next 12 months this figure will double to almost 200 thousand”, says the CEO Gabriele Giugliano who in 2014 founded the start-up, together with other partners, with the aim initial to create a digital place for the exchange of notes and repetitions between university students. In 2017 Tutored changed its look, becoming one of the places where today you meet those who offer and those who, among university students and recent graduates, are looking for a job. There is no specific age range but users are almost all in the range between 18 and 26 years. For everyone, however, there seems to be a certainty. «The profiling of the offers of the companies that is made on Tutored is extremely detailed and this means that the applications are exactly those requested – explains Giugliano -. And it is also for this reason that every year 95% of companies renew their registration ». Which is free for candidates. Knowing how many of these meetings are successful is not among the data available today except for some samples. “For example, with reference only to the Stem disciplines (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) plus E (economics), in the last 24 months there have been 3,500 hires”, continues Giugliano. Stem disciplines are highly represented on the platform: over 65% of members come from this basin.
The pandemic phase marked a small revolution also in the recruiting processes where already before the pandemic the first part was carried out remotely. A research that was carried out on 5,500 members of the Tutored community highlighted that “those who will enter the world of work in the coming months are not entirely convinced of remote work and indeed, in some ways, seem to look to an approach more traditional work », Giugliano interprets. The data show, for example, how 65.1% of respondents prefer to face a selection process following the application for a job with a first part online and a second in presence: the aspect of “physical contact” with the potential employer is still considered extremely important. A slightly higher percentage, 68.4%, declared instead that they prefer a good balance between face-to-face and remote work, followed by 26.1% who said they prefer on-site work. It is therefore only 5.5% who prefer a fully remote approach.

Instead, the type of work environment guides the choice of companies to send their application to, as 77.6% of respondents say. This means that young people are attentive to the type of atmosphere in the workplace, to the relationship that can potentially be established with future colleagues, as well as to aspects relating to the physical location of the workplace in which they would settle. . All aspects that in recent months candidates have been able to learn mainly via the web: interactive webinars were the first tool with which you want to know these characteristics (with 54.4% of preferences), but there is still a 39, 8% who would rather have a more direct approach to an in-person event.
