What we're saying.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket when job hunting. Unless that basket is Haystak, where your 60-second pitch video helps you hatch your dream career before other candidates even crack under pressure.

Your pitch video isn't a resume recap. Start with a specific problem you solved or project you're proud of, then explain how you did it in plain English. Employers want to see how you think, not hear your GPA.

Your pitch video isn't a resume recital. Start with a problem you solved or a result you achieved, then explain how you did it. Employers want to see how you think, not just what you've done.

Born in Lawrence, Kansas by two KU students who knew there had to be a better way for talent to connect with opportunity. Haystak lets students share 60-second pitch videos that show who they really are beyond a resume, and employers across the country are taking notice. What started in the heartland is now helping students on campuses everywhere get found for who they are, not just what's on paper.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket when job hunting. Crack open opportunities on Haystak where your 60-second pitch might just be the nest thing that happens to your career.

You're spending weeks sifting through identical resumes while the students you actually want to hire are showing their personality and skills in 60-second videos on Haystak. Skip the guesswork and see who they really are before everyone else does.

Your pitch should solve a problem, not list your accomplishments. Start with "Companies struggle with X, and here's how I've tackled that exact challenge..." then tell a 30-second story about when you actually did it. Employers remember stories way better than GPAs.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket when job hunting. Unless that basket is Haystak, where cracking under pressure actually gets you hired.

Your pitch video isn't a resume reading session. Start with a specific problem you solved or project you completed, then explain your role in 15 seconds or less. Employers want to see how you think, not hear your GPA.

Finally, a platform that gets it — Kansas students deserve more than scraps from coastal job boards that barely know we exist. We built @haystak.u specifically for KU, K-State, WSU, and Washburn talent to connect with Kansas employers who actually want to invest in our state's future. It's time our students had a home-grown advantage in the market they're going to help build.
