Professional ServicesCase Study #01

Deloitte

University Relations Manager · Marcus Webb

1

The Challenge

Thirty campus visits. Three hundred spreadsheet tabs. Zero visibility.

Deloitte's campus team was managing 32 school relationships across a single quarter. Résumés arrived in six different formats, interview feedback lived in email threads, and no one could answer the basic question: "Which schools are actually converting?"

Résumés from 32 schools arriving in inconsistent formats — no unified pipeline

Interview feedback scattered across email, Slack, and a shared Google Drive

No way to track which campus events led to accepted offers vs. declined

Unified school intake

All 32 campus feeds pipe directly into a single ranked pipeline.

We used to lose candidates between campus and close because nobody owned the handoff. Recruit made the handoff disappear — it just happens.

Stripe

Early-Career Recruiting Lead · Priya Nair

1

The Challenge

Hackathon winners were slipping through the cracks.

Stripe's engineering team knew the best new-grad engineers often come from competitive hackathons — but there was no systematic way to find them. The résumé stack didn't surface competition history, and by the time a candidate was flagged, they'd already signed elsewhere.

No filter for hackathon placements or open-source contribution history in ATS

Time-to-first-contact averaging 18 days — fast movers accepted competing offers

Intern-to-return-offer tracking done manually in a quarterly spreadsheet

JPMorgan Chase

VP, Campus & Early Careers · Danielle Okafor

1

The Challenge

Diversity goals set in boardrooms, missed in hiring rooms.

JPMorgan's early-careers team had ambitious targets for HBCU and HSI recruiting but no infrastructure to match. Campus visits were concentrated at five schools. The rest were managed by email. Diverse candidates made it to phone screens but dropped off before final rounds.

HBCU and HSI pipelines managed separately with no shared tracking

Drop-off rate for underrepresented candidates 2× higher at final-round stage

No data connecting campus event spend to diverse hire outcomes

2

Platform Workflow

Build the diverse pipeline the data actually shows.

1

HBCU / HSI school mapping

Recruit pre-maps 105 HBCU and HSI campuses with active career offices.

2

Drop-off detection

Alerts flag when underrepresented candidates stall at any stage.

3

We had the intent and the budget. What we lacked was the infrastructure to connect campus presence to actual hire data. Recruit built that bridge in one quarter.

Georgia Tech

Director of Career Services · Dr. Kwame Asante

1

The Challenge

Placement numbers that couldn't justify the budget.

Georgia Tech's career services office was placing students at strong rates — but the data lived in a post-graduation survey with a 34% response rate. When budget season arrived, the team couldn't prove ROI on employer partnerships or show which programs were actually producing placed graduates.

Post-graduation survey response rate of 34% — placement data was incomplete

No visibility into which employer partnerships produced actual hires vs. just interviews

Career services budget under review with no outcome data to defend it

2

Platform Workflow

From survey guesswork to real-time placement proof.

1

Employer partnership tracking

Every recruiter visit and job post linked to downstream hire outcomes.

2

Opt-in outcome reporting

Spelman College

Associate Dean, Career Development · Renée Thibodeau

The Challenge

Top students. Underrepresented on Fortune 500 shortlists.

Spelman graduates were consistently strong — but the college's career office lacked a direct channel to the Fortune 500 university relations teams that were actively seeking diverse talent. Employers claimed they couldn't find HBCU candidates at scale. The candidates were there. The pipeline wasn't.

No direct channel to Fortune 500 university relations managers at scale

Employer outreach managed by individual faculty relationships — not systematic

Students unaware of employer interest until weeks after recruiting windows closed

Put Spelman graduates in front of 2,400 recruiters.

How It Works

From target list to signed offer
in four steps.

01

Build Your Target List

Specify your top schools, graduation timelines, majors, and GPA filters. Recruit surfaces candidates who match — not a generic résumé dump.

02

Review Proof of Work

Each candidate profile surfaces capstone projects, hackathon placements, lab research, and co-op evaluations — not just a GPA and a club list.

03

Engage in One Click

Send a personalized outreach, schedule a campus conversation, or drop a candidate directly into your ATS pipeline without leaving the dashboard.

04

Track Intern-to-Hire Conversion

Close the loop on every cohort. Recruit tracks offer acceptance, onboarding, and return-offer rates so your campus ROI is always visible.
