Bachelor of Commerce

" During this busy period of COIVD-19 we have been under increased pressure and needed to hire new staff with less bandwidth, however, we were continually bombarded with emails from recruiters regarding talent with no understanding of our needs. 


It was refreshing to be able to set up a profile on the Striver Platform, review all the smart university graduates who know exactly what they want and have Striver recommend a few of the most aligned and within hours of interviewing 2 candidates we hired them both.

Making the Grad Mentor gold available 24/7 in a digital environment makes so much sense for the evolving needs of financial advice businesses and the digital natives we are trying to attract to our teams

JEFF THURECHT

Evalesco Financial Services | Director

"Striver sets itself apart from platforms like Seek because it gives important information to students that would otherwise take extensive amounts of time to find by searching online or that may not even be available.It gives insight into the business's structure and culture, something that is important for graduates looking to step into their first post- graduate professional position.

University of Technology Sydney | Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) Graduate

" I cannot thank Alisdair enough for helping me land an amazing role in the industry straight out of university! The opportunity provided by Alisdair and his mentoring through the job seeking process gave me the confidence to pursue a career, through the most anxious and stressful time of finding employment out of university. Two years later, I’ve begun my professional year under the same employment that I met at one of Alisdair's functions and landed IFA Paraplanner of the year. I could not have achieved this without the support and leg up from Alisdair in the first place and I highly recommend anyone looking for career opportunities to Striver. "

Striver is an excellent platform for students wanting a career in financial planning. The application process is very straightforward and Alisdair has provided me with some very insightful advice during this process. "

"Alisdair is a great mentor and coach for me, and I am very appreciative for all his help in starting my career. Throughout our meetings and phone calls I gained the necessary skills and confidence needed for my career, with the informational content on the striver website helping me prepare well for interviews. I am very grateful for Alisdair in helping me find a job and I look forward to starting my career!

University of Sydney | Bachelor of Commerce Graduate

Alisdair is fantastic, he is very helpful, supportive and has the best resources to get you motivated and started on your career path.

To be honest I hesitated for a year before I contacted Alisdair because I was scared off by the process but he is so friendly and I really enjoyed it, it was actually really easy. As well as getting me 3 interviews in the first week, I started my new role within 2 weeks, where as on my own I was trying to get interviews for 6 months and nothing.

Also you must must must watch his videos!" 😁

HUSNIA

" After being made redundant in March due to COVID-19, I sought out Alisdair's help in job searching. With his assistance I was able to secure a para-planning position! He was very helpful and I'd recommend using Striver for anyone trying to get into the financial services industry!
