NSUJobs project created by students Faculty of Economics, NSU, took first place at the annual Startup Lynch’25 event, which took place at the end of May. This year, 15 student teams took to the stage to present their startups in three minutes and compete for the main prize and the attention of investors. The winner was chosen based on the reaction of the audience and the jury’s assessments – NSUJobs received 100,000 rubles and recognition as the best project of the event.

NSUJobs is a digital platform that helps NSU students and graduates find internships, part-time jobs, and their first serious job. And this is not just another job aggregator. NSUJobs is aimed specifically at young professionals: those who want to find a job that suits their brains. Lev Lobov, a student at the NSU Faculty of Economics, is behind the project. He launched the first version of the platform in January 2024 — entirely by himself: he thought out the architecture, wrote the code, ran the first campaigns, communicated with users, and supported the site.

— When I created NSUJobs, I was driven not just by an idea, but by a mission: to help every student and graduate realize their potential. Students and graduates are constantly faced with the task of finding a job, part-time jobs, internships. Until now, no service has been able to fully and qualitatively satisfy these requests. Popular platforms are focused on the mass market, mostly line personnel. Students and university graduates, in turn, would like to find a job in their specialty, where they could apply all their intellectual abilities and grow as great specialists, — said Lev.

The NSUJobs team is small. The core of the project is Lev Lobov and Olga Somova (works with employers). Together they are developing the platform and preparing the next step — launching it on the all-Russian market. Several Novosibirsk universities will be connected to the platform starting in September, and the service will be scaled up to other regions of Siberia in the future. Plans call for the Far Eastern and Ural Federal Districts to be covered by the end of the year.

At the moment, the guys have managed to form a base of more than 2,500 active users from NSU and build trusting relationships with more than 100 employers, including 2GIS, Kept, MTS, Sberbank, RENEWAL, Beeline, B1, Sovcombank, SDEK.

— In my opinion, one of our main success factors is our obsession with our users. We constantly collect feedback and improve the experience of interacting with the platform. Our users — students, graduates, employers — are our top priority, — Lev emphasized.

The NSUJobs app offers free job posting, internal chats with candidates, an advanced employer account and the ability to promote the company’s HR brand.

— Our team was incredibly surprised when we were announced as the winners of StartupLynch’25. We are grateful for the recognition and support of our work. This, along with the gratitude of our users, inspires us to work even harder, even better, so that every student and graduate can fully realize their professional potential. We believe that we can build an effective all-Russian platform for the career development of young specialists, — concludes Lev.

Startup Lynch is a project of the NSU Startup Studio, a presentation of technology projects to experts. This is not just a pitch battle, but a full-fledged entry point into entrepreneurship for NSU students.
