non notable, somewhat promotional, deceptively worded. The college-partnership claim actually means only that the colleges include them as one of many resources. The other refs also are mere listings. Top 20 in a specialized field is not significance. DGG ( talk ) 23:52, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, per nom. The seemingly impressive list of sources is deceptive, as DGG points out. Several of the college job help pages listed don't even mention the subject. If we set those aside, the rest of the coverage is "Top X" lists, which definitely doesn't constitute the depth of coverage demanded by WP:CORP. A Traintalk 14:03, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as corporate spam on an unremarkable web site. K.e.coffman (talk) 08:12, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Salt given the past three deletions in the past 8 years, everything listed here is still only what they want to advertise about themselves and that's not surprising considering the said past deletions; there's nothing listed here suggesting compromising nor that we should even consider it, if it's based solely for advertising.
