Zero cost, always
School directories on Hire Alum are free to create and free to maintain. There are no tiers, no premium upgrades. We built this platform because we believe alumni networks deserve a real home.
For Administrators & Alumni Associations
Your graduates are building businesses. Give them a place to be found.
Hire Alum gives every school a free, branded alumni business directory — a living showcase of the economic energy your network generates. No budget required. No IT tickets. No annual renewal.
Why schools love Hire Alum
🏫
Branded to your school
Your directory lives at hirealum.com/schools/[your-slug] and is styled to reflect your institution. Alumni immediately recognize it as theirs — which means they're more likely to list and more likely to use it.
📈
Showcase economic impact
Alumni associations often struggle to quantify what their network is worth. A growing directory of alumni-owned businesses is concrete, shareable proof of economic impact — perfect for annual reports, fundraising narratives, and accreditation materials.
🤝
Deepen alumni engagement
Graduates who list their business stay connected. Graduates who hire from the directory feel the network working. Hire Alum gives your alumni a tangible reason to remain engaged with their school beyond reunion weekends.
🔒
No technical burden
We host everything. You don't manage a CMS, moderate listings day-to-day, or handle any infrastructure. Submit your request, and your directory is ready within a few business days.
🌐
Discoverable beyond campus
Listings are public and search-engine indexed. When someone searches for an alumni-owned business in your city, your directory — and your graduates — can show up. This extends the reach of your network far beyond your alumni email list.

What administrators are saying
"We've been looking for a low-lift way to connect alumni who own businesses with each other and with prospective clients. Hire Alum does exactly that — and it didn't cost us a thing to set up."
"Our graduates are incredibly accomplished. This gives us something concrete to point to when we talk about the economic power of our alumni network. The directory practically grows itself."
