Most UK undergraduates need a professional headshot at some point during their degree. Most don't have one. The friction between the LinkedIn requirement and the £150 studio session is real. Profyle delivers per-student headshots at £15, batch-ordered through your Careers Service, or via partnership programmes for alumni LinkedIn refresh events.
Universities sit on a problem most don't realise. Job-hunting students need professional photos - LinkedIn, application portfolios, departmental directories, scholarship applications. Most don't have one. The status quo is either a casual phone snap (signals 'still a student') or a £150-300 studio session (most students can't or won't pay). Careers Services can't justify a £15K-£40K annual photographer contract. Alumni associations would love a 'LinkedIn refresh day' but logistics make it impossible.
Profyle replaces all of that with a £15-per-student spend. A Careers Service can buy a 100-seat block at £12/seat (Tier 3), distribute upload links to students, deliver in 24 hours. Or charge as £15-£20 student-facing service via Careers Service portal. Partnership programmes available for 200+ students/year - co-branded delivery flow, partner dashboard, aggregate analytics. UK GDPR by default.
A 100-student LinkedIn refresh event at £12/seat = £1,200 total. Covers the full cohort for under the cost of a single staff training day.
| Team size | Total | Tier |
