What Is Real-Time Discovery?
Real-Time Discovery is our powerful early signal system that helps companies identify and track high-potential students before they're actively applying for jobs.
Instead of waiting for applications, recruiters signal interest early, and students can accept, decline, or stay private until ready.
A true two-way recruiting experience rooted in transparency
How Real-Time Discovery Works
Recruiters Search & Filter
Companies use advanced filters to find student talent by:
- Academic performance (GPA, coursework)
- Major and career interests
- Psychological traits and communication style
- Video introductions and activity history
Send a "Red Flag" of Interest
Instead of inviting students to apply directly, recruiters can "flag" those they're interested in — no formality, just early interest.
- Non-binding signals
- Respectful outreach
- Transparent communication
- Students on the radar long before interviews
Students Respond Their Way
When a student receives a Red Flag, they can:
- Accept it — opening communication
- Review the company profile first
- Decline if it's not a good fit
- Stay private until they're ready
Build a Talent Pipeline Over Time
Once flagged, recruiters can:
- Add students to watchlists
- Track student progress year-over-year
- Get notified when students update profiles
- Plan interviews, internships, or mentorships
Why It Matters
For Companies
Hire Smarter: Get early insight into talent before competitors do.
Save Time: Build pipelines instead of sifting endless applications.

Make Informed Decisions: View the company profile before connecting.
Stay in Control: You choose when and how to engage.
Grow Confidence: Early employer interest helps you plan your growth and network.
Real-Time Discovery in Action
Imagine a sophomore engineering student who:
- Has a 3.8 GPA
- Uploaded a strong video profile
- Has an emerging psych fit for innovation and collaboration
A tech company browsing talent flags that student. The student receives the notification, explores the company profile — including culture, missions, and reviews — and decides to accept.
This leads to:
- Direct recruiter contact
- Invitations to internship workshops
- A potential early internship interview
This is Real-Time Discovery — early, meaningful, strategic
