Vault.com is an international employment website that attempts to go beyond simple job listings to offer jobseekers and students advice and other tools for maximising their search for employment. Its product offerings include employer profiles and rankings with anonymous employee reviews, industry blogs and message boards, as well as information that links education programmes to specific careers. Discount vouchers are redeemable against services such as a free self-assessment at Vault.com.
The company also produces an ever increasing selection of career and private sector information reports which it sells through its website. These are on topics including law, technology, media, consulting and finance. There are now more than 120 of these titles.
The company was started by Mark Oldman, a graduate of Stanford Law School who is well known in America as a wine columnist for the Food Network. He was president of Vault.com until he sold the company in 2007 to Veronis Suhler Stevenson, a private equity firm which has traditionally focused on the communications sector.
It remains an American entity and as such muh of the advice it gives relates to US firms and universities. All prices are quoted in US dollars and include any reductions from using Vault.com discount codes.
The company claims to have over 1,100 universities and upwards of six million university students worldwide among its clients. Many of the services offered are subject to reductions with a discount voucher.
