jobs in this sector not being filled, this problem is

a larger employer pool usually located in big cities
2. A widget that plugs itself to a partner university / college home page &
is interlinked to a large pool of employers hosting their ‘ jobs, projects &
internship’ requirements & updates. See link

Market opportunity
The online college recruitment space is a $ 5 Billion market globally
and the US alone has a university, college student population of 11
million

More students graduated in 2009 without a career than ever before.


According to a recent survey conducted by the National Association of
Colleges and Employers (NACE), only 19% of the seniors looking for a
job found one upon graduation. But even in good years, less than 10%
of students on average find their internships or first jobs through the
career centers, while the larger job boards continue to focus on more
experienced hires.
Meanwhile, the majority of small and medium sized businesses (SMBs)
do not recruit on campus despite having regular student talent needs.
This is because the large national players dominate the campus
recruiting landscape. According to a 2006 NAS Recruitment study, the
average overall budget for a company recruiting on campus is
$386,634. This means the largest and fastest growing segment of our
economy, SMBs, is priced out of accessing student talent. Therefore,
the majority of students are losing out on career-relevant earning
opportunities while the majority of companies are missing out on lower
cost, educated talent to help them grow their business. We believe this
“missing middle” is the biggest gap in our labor market today and
have designed TOC as a bridge to these huge underserved markets.

How will Talentoncampus make money?


We are making money, our revenue streams are as follows
Page 4 of 11
1. Employer Branding Services - Yahoo & Wal Mart are paying
clients. See link http://talentoncampus.com/Purchase_Order.pdf

Our pilot with Yahoo has been successful , see link


http://www.vimeo.com/7659013 & http://www.vimeo.com/7659013

The next phase is a $ 150,000 National Campaign and in time a global


campaign estimated at $ 1 Million. P.S. realistic estimates , a minimum
global campaign spend for Yahoo is 1 Million $

2. Subscription from Employers - that shall include A. unlimited


access to database & B. unlimited job Posts. he market acquisition and
pricing strategy is to first offer services on a freemium mode and after
the initial value proposition is established & penetration pricing
strategy to get existing & the next round of customers to pay
Freemium, 0 - 3 months > Penetration Pricing , 4 - 8 months
A. Mom & Pop / Startups , between 1-15 employees $ 9.99 @ 3 Months
B. SMBs’ ,15 – 50 employees $ 24.99 @ 3 months
C. Large Businesses , 50 – 500 employees $ 49.99 @ 3 Months
D. Fortune 2000, 500 Employees Plus $ 119.99 @ 3 Months

3. Student Account Upgrade - $ 1 / month, $ 3 month & $ 5 Month


on various value added utilities. On getting to 1 million students we
introduce value added utilities, even if 20 % buy at $ 1 we still make $
200,000 / month.

Why will you succeed?


We got the basics right - solve a compelling problem and address a
huge market space and are good at technology. Nah thats still isnt
what it tales to be successful

Client acquisition via innovative marketing


Acer, Google & Microsoft are clients in the making. Wal Mart & Yahoo
are existing clients. We figured getting these big brands on board and
have their employees interacting with a young audience would catalyst
the trend we are initiating.
Getting these guys as clients is not easy, would take years with a
conventional approach. We hacked this code with an innovative
marketing approach, we approach these clients with a proposition they
can’t say ‘NO’ or repositioning our product / service line to address
pain areas so we get an immediate ‘buy in’ Acer is an example we
have sighted

ACER
Page 6 of 11
This is about assisting in building a new direct sales channel for ACER
at colleges & universities by engaging student sales reps on campus.
The interns / sales reps at campus compete with each other and push
‘Group Buy’ a FB & TOC App for ACER we built that entails a student
group of 500 collectively buying a ACER laptops at a special price

Partnership with Universities


TalentOnCampus has inroads and a good working relationship with the
leading universities in Wales that include Cardiff University, the
University of Swansea, Glamorgan University, other universities and
technical institutes
For the UK side of our business our university relations bridge program
is supported and facilitated by International Business Wales
http://www.ibwales.co.uk/ . IB Wales identifies the point of contact and
initiates meeting with any universities we need to connect with in
Wales. TalentOnCampus is also a Technium incubate company and is
supported by the Technium incubator Network

We have also made significant business development progress with


some well established relationships with universities in place , see link

http://www.talentoncampus.com/marketvalidation/Market_Validation.pdf

Partnering with university / college career centers to reach a student


audience is important and we do this quite effectively by simply
sending across posts of the most relevant jobs & internship positions
that we create exclusively , they in -turn mail it to all their students.
This is in a module format with a built-in sign in.
See link http://www.talentoncampus.com/sramanamitra/

No agreements, MoU's etc but we still get to partner with them fast &
easy. At this time our outreach program entails 100 colleges &
universities in the US and over 150 in the UK, India, Australia, UAE,
New Zealand and other countries.

The Business Process


Page 7 of 11

A
bit

more on how we reach our customers is talked about in the next


section

Who are your competitors and what makes Talentoncampus


better?

In our pursuit of creating an Employer & university, college [young people’s]


collaborative ecosystem there are no competitors we know of addressing this
space
Page 8 of 11

In terms of a platform for young people to connect & engage with


employers

www.brazencareerist.com/ is a competitor we like and respect.


www.bravenewtalent.com & www.zumeo.com are 2 others in the
space we know of

Our unfair advantage that competition cannot replicate


1. Viral Web Apps – we have built a few and conceptualized many
webapps that are viral. These web apps can be launched
independently however are used as vehicles that build traction around
our portal. ‘Group Buy’ is one particular webapp that we shall be
launching on Facebook soon in conjunction with ACER Computers – this
provides for a large group of buyers to dictate the price of an item e.g.
Laptop via a collective group bid or vice versa by a company
2. Mentoring Expertise – the mentoring component is a huge value
add to Talentoncampus customers both students & employers. We
have an unparalleled expertise in getting the best mentors on board on
TalentOnCampus as in the past we created one of the worlds largest
community of proactive mentors. See link
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?
sm=CYZnSCiqavp1GB0Zk1G_2fRg_3d_3d
3. Strategic Alliance with Yahoo – our relationship with Yahoo is
more than just being a service provider , its about being partners with
them to reach a common audience. Recruiting 1000 volunteers for
Yahoos school campaign via our portal and promoting the same
definitely helps our virility. See link to a volunteer driven activity for
Yahoo - http://www.vimeo.com/7659013
4. Business Process Expertise -
http://talentoncampus.com/Lead_Generation_Process_Flow1.pdf
5. Bandwidth & support from the consortium of the Welsh
Legislative Assembly, Technium & International Business Wales

Our secret sauce to success is WIKINOMICS, we understand the Art of


mass Collaboration the best see link
http://talentoncampus.com/logopuzzle_copy1.jpg

In time TOC shall be co-managed and operated by the most


enthusiastic students , we find them through a series of contests we
run. We are staring one soon where we get new product & feature
ideas for TOC through coding contests. We have conceptualized 5
different contest themes. We differentiate our selves from competition
in a lot of ways , while they simply serve as job post aggregation
platform diverting users to job boards of companies our focus is on the
creation on new & exclusive opportunities for students Our focus is on
the hidden job market – jobs that can be created by the fusion of
enthusiasm of student talent & real time needs of startups and small
biz but are ignored because of a resource crunch. We are a platform

for student Intrapreneurship & job creation, not a job board with job
listings e.g. most of our job post listings are illustrated as ‘future
positions’. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrapreneurship
