5. The Big Idea : Nuance



Facilitating valuable human connections in the midst of automation



In the midst of countless emerging AI apps and Automated Tracking Software (ATS Systems) for job applications, which often rely solely on keyword matching in resumes and portfolios,


  • Nuance is a service that connects students, experienced professionals (mentors), and companies seeking international talent by restoring human interaction.



  • It provides guidance not only in student hiring and bureaucratic processes, but also relieves the constant insecurity and uncertainty faced by many students each year by connecting them with professionals who have walked the same path and can share relevant experiences and insights.  


  • On the other hand, Nuance saves time, money, and resources for companies while reducing hiring risks, since students are vouched for, by experienced professionals placed at reputed companies.


  • Finally, it offers mentor recognition, networking, and growth opportunities through creating long-lasting relationships and a robust community.
