Why get Endorsed?
Being Endorsed by industry experts helps you stand out from your peers. You earn a letter of recommendation from the industry leaders which validates the skills you possess through an unbiased process.
The Endorsement also gets you access to our career assistance program. We help you build clarity around roles to pursue, make introductions to hiring partners and assist you with the interview process.
You also get an opportunity to engage with other professionals who have impressed industry experts. This will enable you to increase your ‘luck surface area’ and land referrals to opportunities.
