Supercharge your cohort with world-class hiring support
Professional.me partners with accelerators and incubators to embed AI-powered recruitment into your program. Help your startups attract, evaluate, and land the talent they need to scale, from demo day and beyond.
Great startups fail without the right team
Your accelerator gives founders mentorship, capital, and network access. But when it comes to hiring, the single most important activity for a scaling startup, most programs leave founders on their own. Early-stage companies struggle to compete for talent against better-known employers, lack structured hiring processes, and make costly mistakes that burn through runway and momentum.
Embedded talent support that scales with your program
You can't hire a recruiter for every cohort company, but you can give them all access to enterprise-grade talent intelligence. Professional.me integrates directly into your accelerator program, providing every startup with AI-powered sourcing and screening tools from the moment they join your cohort.
Recruitment as a program benefit, not an afterthought
Make talent acquisition a first-class pillar of your accelerator. Professional.me provides a white-labeled or co-branded recruitment platform that your cohort companies can start using from day one with no setup required, no learning curve.
- Instant access for cohort companies with program-level onboarding
- AI-powered candidate screening and enrichment from application to offer
- Workshop-ready platform that fits into your existing curriculum and mentorship tracks
- Dedicated cohort dashboard for program managers to track hiring activity

Results & Experiences
What our partners say
We embedded Professional.me into our 12-week program and saw immediate results. Founders were making their first hires during the program instead of months after demo day.
Program Director, Technology Accelerator
Before Professional.me, we'd lose startups post-program because they couldn't build their teams fast enough. Now hiring support is one of our top-rated program benefits.
Managing Director, University Incubator
The cohort dashboard is invaluable. We can see which companies are actively hiring, where they're struggling, and offer targeted mentorship. It's changed how we support our founders.
