Applicant tracking is included
Small teams do not need a separate ATS to hire a few students. The tools for running a role end to end are part of the subscription.
Applications land against the job they applied to, with the student's school, major, graduation year, resume and message attached.
Each listing shows how many applicants you have and how many you have not looked at yet, so nothing sits unopened.
Opening an applicant marks them reviewed and timestamps it. You are not maintaining a spreadsheet alongside the platform.
Dismiss applicants who are not a fit and they drop out of the active list without being lost.
New applicants trigger an email, so you can move on a strong candidate the same day.
Search student resumes by school, major and graduation year and contact students directly, rather than only waiting on applications.
Where your job gets seen
One post, published to all of it. Nothing extra to buy or configure.
Searched directly by students and recent graduates looking for work near them.
Every listing publishes structured job data, so roles are eligible to appear in Google's jobs results.
Syndicated onto the local college newspaper sites students already read on their own campus.
Distributed on through the partner network, so a single post keeps working after you publish it.

Comparison current as of August 2026. “Major job platforms” means general-purpose job boards such as ZipRecruiter and Indeed. They are not built around students, so the student-specific rows are marked not applicable rather than compared.
