WYGU describes itself as a “Facebook for careers advice” and offers social careers guidance, development and e‑mentoring. At its core is a Matching Engine that assesses suitability for roughly 10–100 careers against over a million variables, using a lengthy sign‑up questionnaire to build a user’s career “DNA.” The engine learns over time from data contributed to WYGUpedia, a crowd‑sourced, user‑generated career information resource. WYGU supports online e‑mentoring and displays Personal Social Responsibility (PSR) league tables to recognize top individual and corporate mentors. Access to the service is free to users. The company has been positioned to target recruiters as it scales and may compete with players like PathMotion and BraveNewTalent.
