 NEW Platform Features
AI Enhanced
Our AI uses insights from student assessments (work styles,
aptitudes and skills), as well as their work experience, exam
results, interests and achievements to deliver high impact,
tailored Personal Statements/Letters of Motivation, Elevator
Pitches and CVs. Students can download and edit these at
will. Our AI also assesses answers to interview questions,
suggesting improvements, based on each students unique
back story.

Schools can use the AI to generate UCAS and other references

for students, unearthing insights that would otherwise be
impossible to identify.

Interview Practice
With Universities expanding the courses requiring video
interviews and employers embracing a similar approach to
hiring, young people need to develop the confidence, self
awareness and communication skills necessary to make an
immediate impact …. on video!

Our in-platform Video Practice Suite has >1,000 practice

interviews, including HL Apprenticeship, Teaching, STEM,
Medicine and other Allied Health course interviews. Even
better, our AI analyses answers and suggests improvements
so students get pitch perfect before the real event.

Virtual Career Fair

With limited time and attention span, our young people need
more engaging ways to discover opportunities and make
informed choices. PeopleHawk Virtual solves this challenge.
With high resolution animation, our virtual career fair is
continuously live and interactive, so students can explore
options at will.

The virtual booths are maintained by PeopleHawk, so they are

always showcasing the latest opportunities, including courses,
apprenticeships and job openings. Live booth links enable
students to connect directly with Employers and Universities,
fast tracking career outcomes.

employability challenges. With 65% youth unemployment, PeopleHawk is
crucial in helping differentiate UJ students in the job market. UJ promoted
