Networking made easy
Introduction
A web-based platform that helps MBA students manage their recruiting process by providing an interactive timeline, networking tracker, and automated tools to track job applications and employer outreach. It centralizes tasks like managing contacts, logging coffee chats, tracking deadlines, and integrating with email for smart updates.
Problem
MBA students face fragmented and overwhelming recruiting processes. Deadlines vary by industry, networking happens across multiple platforms, and keeping track of follow-ups, applications, and interview stages becomes unmanageable — especially when spread across spreadsheets, inboxes, and calendars
Opportunity
A centralized platform tailored to MBA recruiting that offers:
- A visual timeline of key recruiting milestones by industry
- A dynamic networking CRM to log and track outreach efforts
- Automatic syncing with email to update networking logs when contacts reply
- An application dashboard that tracks deadlines, requirements, and interview progress
This streamlines the entire process, reduces missed opportunities, and helps students stay organized and focused.
