Blind Launches “Q&A Channel” Connecting University Students with Professionals

Real Insights into Company Culture: Answers Directly from Professionals

The workplace social platform Blind announced on August 26 that it has launched the “Professional Q&A” channel to facilitate communication between university students and current employees.

The Professional Q&A is a new section created within the “Campus” channel that Blind opened in May. Any university student can post questions about companies or job positions they are curious about and receive answers directly from employees at those companies.

All respondents are verified professionals currently employed, having gone through Blind’s employment verification process. Students can ask about the real atmosphere or outlook of companies—information usually difficult to glean from public sources. A diverse range of employees, from new hires to recruitment managers across various positions and experience levels, participate in providing answers.

Another key feature is that the channel is not divided by university, allowing all students to connect and communicate together. Students can see questions posted by peers from other schools, along with the answers from current professionals, enabling them to access a wide range of information about companies and potential career paths in one place.

Immediately after the launch, the Professional Q&A channel registered more than 10,000 posts and comments. The companies most frequently mentioned in student questions were Hyundai Motor Company, Hyundai Mobis, Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and Coupang, in that order. Professionals in fields such as accounting and law are also opening their own Q&A threads to answer questions about the outlook of their respective professions. According to Blind, not only university students but also early-career employees considering a job change are using the channel.

The university with the most active participation was Seoul National University, with 10,119 members. This was followed by Korea University (6,736 members), Yonsei University (6,507), Hanyang University (5,624), and KAIST (4,399). Sungkyunkwan University, Kyung Hee University, Chung-Ang University, Ajou University, and Konkuk University also followed. By major, business administration saw the highest number of sign-ups, followed by mechanical engineering, computer engineering, electronic engineering, and economics.

Blind plans to expand its Campus channel. The company will enhance recommendation features by company and job position to help students more easily find relevant questions and answers. It will also activate a “University Alliance” channel, expanding an environment where students can interact regardless of their school affiliation. In addition, content recommendations tailored to students’ interests in specific companies and majors will be introduced.

Yujeong Jeon, Head of Blind’s Korea Operations, stated, “We wanted to create a space where job seekers could go beyond searching and worrying on their own and actually consult with working professionals. By expanding Blind Campus, we aim to help university students get a close-up look at companies they are interested in and find the right job positions and workplaces for themselves.”
