Costellazione
Distributed talent infrastructure.
Turn your research investments into direct talent access through a network of university hubs across Italy.
The Problem and the Opportunity
Companies invest in academic research but struggle to access the talent that comes out of it.
Fragmented Access
Reaching the best profiles inside universities directly is slow and complex.
Limited Research ROI
Investments in scholarships and PhDs rarely translate into market solutions or targeted hires.
The DOPE Solution
Every research investment becomes a talent acquisition outpost inside the university.
Operating Model
5 steps to turn every funded researcher into a pipeline catalyst.
Asset
The partner funds PhDs, scholarships or research grants at distributed universities. This is your existing investment.
Engagement
DOPE Hubs gives the researcher access to the network: projects, resources, community, visibility.
Activation
The researcher is trained as a local Community Leader: they acquire the method to replicate the DOPE model at their university.
Leverage
The Community Leader recruits 10–20 talents from their university, creating an operational micro-hub.
Return
The company gains direct, pre-screened access to 10–20 trained and motivated technical profiles. One investment becomes scalable talent acquisition.
The Result
Every funded researcher becomes a 1:15 multiplier. A research cost becomes employer branding and a distributed talent pipeline.
