In 2021, Jobright's founder, Eric, took an extended trip during his gap year. He traveled to many small and medium-sized cities seeking inspiration for his next venture. Along the way, Eric met over 100 talented young people and, quite unexpectedly, helped 10 of them secure their dream jobs. This experience opened Eric’s eyes: Many talented people lacked fulfilling careers not due to a lack of skill or excellence, but because they didn't have the same access to information and opportunity as those residing in city centers. Simply put, they lacked access to industry experts and career mentors, leading to a glaring inequality in career opportunities.
This insight deeply resonated with Eric. When he discussed it with his Co-Founder Ethan Zheng, an AI expert, Ethan immediately recognized the potential of recent breakthroughs in AI to bridge this gap.
Jobright was created shortly after with a mission: Use AI to empower every professional so that they would have equal opportunities for building their dream careers. Jobright is more than a tool— it is your partner, ensuring a faster and more effective path to your next career move.
