Partners
Bring CoBlack to the people who count on you
Universities, workforce programs, accessibility organizations, and employers all stand between people and their next job. CoBlack puts the autonomous job search behind the people you serve, so your outcomes stop depending on how many hours they can spend applying.

The partner program
CoBlack is one platform with one job: run the whole search for the person who needs work. That same platform serves the institutions responsible for those people. A partnership gives your community access to CoBlack, a shared onboarding path, and outcomes you can actually report: real applications to real openings, submitted continuously, without asking anyone to become a full-time applicant.
Every partnership starts the same way: a conversation about who your people are and what standing between them and work looks like. The sections below cover the four kinds of partner we work with today.
Universities and students
The first job matters most, and it lands in the worst possible market for volume: entry-level postings draw hundreds of applications each, and a graduating class runs that race all at once. A career center cannot hand-hold ten thousand searches. CoBlack can carry them: every student gets the full autonomous search, a fresh resume per opening, and truthful screening answers, while the career center keeps its focus on coaching, employers, and outcomes.
We offer campus licensing so a university can put CoBlack behind its whole student body and alumni network. We are in active pilots with universities in the US and Canada; partner names are shared once programs are public.
Government and workforce
Workforce development and reemployment programs are measured on one number: how fast the people they serve get back to work. Caseworkers carry loads no human can service by hand, and the people in those caseloads face the same broken application grind as everyone else, with less slack to absorb it.
CoBlack extends a program’s capacity without extending its headcount. Every participant gets a search that runs continuously and truthfully, and the program gets reportable activity: real submissions to verified openings, not attendance at a resume workshop.
Diverse abilities
The application grind is a barrier that compounds. Repetitive forms, inaccessible portals, and hundred-application volumes exclude many capable people long before an interview ever would. For job seekers with disabilities, the process itself is often the disability tax.
CoBlack removes the volume barrier entirely: the platform does the finding, the tailoring, and the applying, and it matches on capability, not on stamina for paperwork. We partner with organizations serving job seekers with diverse abilities to put that engine behind their communities.
Business and TalentCare
TalentCare is a new category of employee benefit: offered at hire, activated on departure. When someone leaves, whatever the reason, they walk out with the autonomous job search already working for them. It replaces the 1990s outplacement playbook of workshops and binders with something that actually applies to jobs, and it lets an employer’s duty of care outlast the employment itself.
For recruitment agencies, CoBlack works as the candidate-side efficiency layer underneath an existing placement business: your recruiters place people, the platform carries the application volume.

If you are responsible for people who need work, we want to talk. Write to founders@coblack.com with who you serve and how many of them there are, and we will come back with what a partnership would look like.
Partner questions
The things a career center, an agency, or an HR team usually asks before writing in.
Why are your partner institutions not named publicly?
Our early partnerships run as quiet pilots, and we name an institution publicly only with its written permission. That protects the partner, not us: a university or an agency should control where its name appears. As permissions land, names will appear here.
What does a pilot involve?
A pilot is deliberately small: a defined group, a set window, clear reporting. You tell us who it covers, we provision the accounts, and your people use CoBlack the way any member does, with Co-B walking each person through setup. While it runs, you see aggregate activity and outcomes. From your side it takes a roster and a point of contact, little more.
How is our members’ data handled?
The same way it is handled for every CoBlack member: never sold, never traded, never used to train shared models, and processed by our own self-hosted AI as a US company. Partners see aggregate outcomes, never an individual member’s activity. Each account belongs to the member, and the Privacy Policy applies in full.
What does a partnership cost?
Pricing is shaped to the program: per seat for campuses, per cohort for workforce programs, per employee for TalentCare. We agree it together, based on who you serve and how many of them there are. Writing in starts that conversation; it commits you to nothing.
Do our people need training to use CoBlack?
No. Co-B, the built-in companion, greets every new member and walks them through their profile and their first campaign. The documentation covers every screen, and support@coblack.com answers the rest. Partner programs do not need to run a training track.
Is CoBlack accessible to job seekers with disabilities?
This website targets WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard behind Section 508 and AODA, and our accessibility statement lists exactly what is in place today. The app is not there yet, and we are working toward it, with the organizations in this program helping shape that work. We would rather tell you that plainly than claim a checkbox.
