Bowsy

A bad graduate hire costs more than a salary.

It costs the time spent onboarding someone who doesn't fit.
The momentum lost when a project stalls.
The awkward conversation six months in.

And most of that risk could have been avoided if you'd seen them actually work before committing.

That's what Bowsy is built for.

Post a task.
See how they approach it.
Make a decision based on evidence, not a 30-minute interview.

The hire is still yours to make.
We just give you better information first.

A task nobody wanted to do internally got done in eleven days.

It had been on the list for months.
A full financial model, three revenue scenarios, sensitivity analysis, the works.
The kind of thing everyone knows needs doing, and nobody has time for.

The business posted it on Bowsy on a Monday.
By Wednesday they had a shortlist of students.
By the following Friday, the model was in their inbox.

The student was a final-year finance student.
She wanted the experience. They needed the output.
It was, to use their words, 'embarrassingly simple.'

95% tasks on our platform have finished on time or early.
This one was one of them.

If you have something on your list that keeps getting pushed, you know where to go.

'I didn't think a student could do this.'

That's something we hear more than we expected, after the task is delivered, not before.

Before, the concern was usually quality. Will it be good enough? Will I spend more time fixing it than doing it myself?

We get it. It's a fair concern.

Here's what the track record says: 38 out of 40 tasks completed on time or ahead of deadline across two years. Not perfect, but close.

The ones that work best are the ones with a clear brief. A specific output. A defined scope.

If you can write down what you need done in four sentences, Bowsy can probably find you the right person to do it.

[email protected] takes about five minutes to post a task.

Hiring a graduate without seeing them work first is still the default. It shouldn't be.

A 30-minute interview tells you how someone performs under pressure in a room. It tells you almost nothing about how they think through a real problem, how they communicate when the stakes are low, or whether they can actually deliver.

That's the gap Bowsy's graduate recruitment product closes.

Graduates on Bowsy come with a verified work history, real tasks completed for real Irish businesses, assessed on quality and delivery.

You're not reading a CV. You're reading a track record.

The businesses that have hired through Bowsy didn't guess. They already knew.

The business didn't need convincing the second time.

They found Bowsy, posted a task, a competitor analysis for a product they were about to launch, half-expecting to chase someone for two weeks.

The student delivered three days early. Clean, structured, usable.

No follow-up needed. No hand-holding. Just the work, done.

They came back the following week and posted another task without saying a word to us.

That's the version of this that we're proud of.

95% tasks completed on time or ahead of deadline.

Final Day.

Bowsy’s AI Career Assessment returns to full price tonight.

For the past week, Irish students and parents have used the MAY_DISCOUNT code to access the assessment at 75% off, €9.99 instead of €39.99.

If you know a student still uncertain about their CAO choices, this is the last day to take it at the reduced price.

The assessment helps students better understand:
→ their strengths
→ how they naturally think and work
→ the courses and career paths that genuinely fit them

Because better decisions at 17 shape everything that follows after.

Offer ends tonight.

There's a skills gap in hiring that nobody wants to admit.

It's not that graduates aren't talented. It's that the system never gave them a chance to prove it before the hire.

So businesses take a gamble. Sometimes it pays off. Often it doesn't.

We think the answer is structured proof of work, real tasks, real output, completed before a hiring decision is ever made.

That's the model at Bowsy. And based on early returns, it's working.

What do you think?
Is proof of work the future of graduate hiring?

This is your two-day warning.

Bowsy's AI Career Assessment, 75% off at €9.99, ends this Friday.

For any Irish student still undecided on their CAO choices: this assessment was built for exactly this moment.
Ten minutes of clarity before one of the biggest decisions of their life.

After Friday it goes back to €39.99.

One of the things we're most proud of at Bowsy right now?

Businesses coming back.

When an Irish SME posts a task on our platform, gets matched with a strong university student, and receives work they're genuinely pleased with, they don't just leave. They post again.

We've had several businesses return to post multiple tasks. No sales call needed. No nudge from us.

That's the model validating itself.

If you're an Irish business owner who's been curious about Bowsy, now might be the time. Post a task, see what comes back.

In case you missed it yesterday,

Bowsy's AI Career Assessment is currently 75% off.

€39.99 down to €9.99. For 5 more days.

Use code MAY_DISCOUNT at bowsy.ie

We reduced the price because we want as many Irish students as possible to take the assessment before their CAO deadline — not because they could afford it, but because it gives them genuine clarity on which college courses match their actual strengths.

If you know a 5th or 6th year student who's still unsure about their choices — share this with them or their parents.
