for educators

Your students are capable.
The market just can't see it anymore.

loocy helps your students build something a CV can't show — proof of how they think, drawn from real work — so they leave knowing where they fit, and can show it. We'd like to build that with you.

the problem

AI has broken the hiring signal.

A CV used to be a rough proxy for capability. That proxy is breaking. When a strong application and a well-prompted one read the same on paper, the document stops telling employers what they need to know — and stops telling your students whether they're ready.

The squeeze is real on both sides. Graduate vacancies are tighter than they've been in years, and applications per role have climbed into the hundreds. Capable students get lost in the volume — not because they can't do the work, but because nothing in the stack shows that they can.

85%
of employers now see AI-assisted applications — and 79% are redesigning how they hire in response.
140
applications per graduate vacancy, on average — the deepest pile in years.
-8%
graduate hiring this year, with vacancies at their lowest since 2012.

None of this is the university's failing. It's the signal that's broken — and the signal is fixable.

for your students

Practise the work. Leave with proof.

loocy gives students business problems drawn from the kind of work marketing, data, and strategy teams actually face. A student picks one, works it the way the job would, and submits their thinking — then gets it scored against a clear rubric, with specific feedback they can act on.

Real work, not busywork
Every problem mirrors a genuine business situation. Students practise the thing the job asks for — not an abstract exercise.
Scored across four dimensions
Strategic thinking, data use, clarity, and commercial realism — each one scored, each one explained. The reasoning is always visible.
A capability graph, built from evidence
Do a few problems and a picture forms — a record of how a student thinks, drawn from what they've actually done. Descriptive, never a verdict on potential.
Direction and confidence
Students see where they're strong and where they fit — so the next step is a decision made with evidence, not a guess.
for your team

An employability tool that produces evidence.

loocy sits alongside what you already do — it isn't a replacement for your careers provision, it's a way to turn it into something demonstrable. Students arrive at conversations with employers able to show how they think, not just describe it.

Outcomes you can point to
Students who can name where they fit and walk into the room with proof — the employability outcome your team is measured on.
A capability picture across your cohort
As a partner, you get a clear view of how capability is building across your students in aggregate — while every individual submission stays private to the student who made it. Staff don't see a student's work.
Honest by design
Scores are explainable, claims are evidenced, and we don't promise outcomes we can't deliver. loocy is early, and we'll always tell you exactly where it stands.
how it works

From practice, to proof, to a real door.

01
Students practise real work
They pick a business problem drawn from a real team's world, and work it the way the job actually would.
02
Every submission is scored
Across four dimensions, against a clear rubric, with feedback that explains the reasoning — usually within minutes.
03
A capability graph and portfolio build
Each scored submission adds to a record of how a student thinks — evidence they own and can choose to share.
04
A curated set of partner companies can discover that work
We bring companies in deliberately. They can see a student's scores and strengths — never the full answer, unless the student shares it. Strong work can open a real door.
what makes loocy different

A curated bridge — not a job board.

we choose who we bring in
Not a job board. Never will be.
loocy will never be a feed of a thousand listings. The companies involved are there because we chose to bring them in — deliberately, and because the work fits — not because they paid to post a vacancy. We don't promise jobs, and we don't promise pipelines. We make the practice real, keep students' work their own, and let what they do speak for itself.

That's the difference for a university partner: not volume, but a curated bridge between capable students and the people who should see them.
Let's talk about your students.

If you're thinking about what comes after the lecture hall — helping students see where they fit and walk in with proof — we'd genuinely like to talk.
