For hosting businesses

Make job shadowing easier to offer — without creating more work for your team.

ShadowMatch gives your business one organized place to state availability, requirements, expectations and visit details once. Students and career explorers can understand what they need before requesting to shadow, so your team spends less time answering the same questions and coordinating scattered emails.

Save time. Set expectations once.
Support people. Give real career exposure.
Stay in control. Hosting is free.

There is no cost for businesses to participate during the pilot, and you decide whether, when and how often you host.

How it saves you time

Say it once, not twenty times

Requirements, minimum age, dress code, what a visitor will observe, how to prepare, and what to bring — written once instead of repeated across emails.

Publish only the dates that work

Post specific dates and time windows with a capacity limit. When a session fills, extra interest goes to a waitlist instead of your inbox.

Review organized applicants

Each applicant arrives as one organized profile with who they are, why they want to shadow, what they hope to learn, and any resume or profile link they provide.

Decide without the back-and-forth

Accept, decline with an optional note, or leave someone waitlisted. ShadowMatch handles the status updates and keeps communication in one place.

You stay in control

  • Whether your listing is a draft, published, or paused
  • How many people you host per day and per week
  • Minimum age, dress code and any requirements you set
  • Which dates and time windows are available at all
  • A pre-visit form or waiver, released only to accepted visitors
  • Who you accept — and who you don't, for any reason you choose

Your exact arrival details stay private

Browsing users see the general area, format, dates and expectations. Exact addresses or meeting links, parking and check-in instructions, day-of contacts and required private forms are released only after you accept a request.

Interested in hosting?

Tell us once. We’ll help organize the rest.

This form gathers the information a student or career explorer would need before asking to shadow. It takes about 3–5 minutes and does not commit your business to a specific date or visitor.

1. Your business

2. What could someone experience?

Describe what someone could realistically see, observe or learn during a shadow visit.

3. What should they know beforehand?

These details reduce questions and back-and-forth before the visit.

4. How would you like to get started?

Exact addresses, parking instructions and day-of private details are not requested here. Submitting this form does not commit you to hosting anyone. There is no cost for businesses during the pilot.

Support career exploration without adding another system to manage.

ShadowMatch organizes the details, requests and next steps so businesses can support the community while keeping the process controlled and efficient. It does not promise jobs, internships or interviews to visitors.
