Skill-based recruiting that connects students with the right jobs

Students create a profile verified by their school, so recruiters can find the students whose skills best fit each job.

Recruiting should not depend on who applies first

Traditional recruiting starts with applications. Aptly uses school-verified information to rank the students whose skills best match each job.

Comparison between traditional recruiting platforms and Aptly
ProblemTraditional recruitingAptly
Too many applicationsRecruiters sort through hundreds or thousands of applications for every job.The strongest matches are ranked before a large application pile forms.
Hiring depends on who appliesStudents apply again and again, while employers only see those who apply.Students create a profile, and employers can find them when their skills fit the job.
Slow candidate reviewRecruiters spend too long sorting applications before meeting strong candidates.The most relevant students appear first, so recruiters can begin interviews sooner.
Great students get missedStrong students are overlooked because of timing, résumé wording, or school name.Students are matched by their skills and how well they are expected to perform in the job.
Résumés are hard to trustRésumés can be polished with AI and may not show what someone can do.Verified transcripts provide clearer evidence of each student’s skills and abilities.
AI decisions are unclearMany tools give candidates a score without clearly explaining the reason.Aptly uses economic models with clear inputs and shows why each student matches the job.

Too many applications

Traditional recruiting

Recruiters sort through hundreds or thousands of applications for every job.

Aptly

The strongest matches are ranked before a large application pile forms.

How it works

How Aptly matches talent with opportunity

Students show what they can do, employers share what they need, and Aptly brings them together

01

Students create a profile

Students upload their transcript and résumé, verified by their school, so Aptly can understand their skills.

02

Employers describe the job

Employers add the job, explain its main tasks, and choose the skills someone needs to succeed in the role.

03

Aptly finds and explains the best matches

Aptly compares each student with the job, ranks the strongest matches, and shows why each student fits.

04

Recruiters connect and hire

Recruiters review the strongest matches, speak with qualified students, and choose the right person.

How Aptly calculates each match

Aptly uses economic models developed by PhDs in economics to compare verified student information with the skills needed for each job, measure fit, and clearly explain every match.
Verified student information

Aptly uses the courses, grades, and skills included in each student's verified profile.

Measure job fit

The models compare each student's skills with the tasks and skills needed to succeed.

Explain the match

Recruiters can see why the student fits and which information supports the result.

For students

Your next opportunity can find you

Join Aptly once, get matched with jobs that fit your skills, and hear directly from recruiters who want to meet you.

01

Apply in less than two minutes

Upload your transcript and resume once to join Aptly without entering the same information for every job.

02

Get matched with thousands of jobs

Aptly finds jobs that fit your skills, including roles you may not have found or applied to yourself.

03

Hear directly from recruiters

When your skills fit a role, an interested recruiter can contact you directly and invite you to interview.

04

Get hired for a job that fits you

After the interview, the employer can send you an offer for a job that matches your skills and goals.

For employers

Spend less time sorting applications and more time meeting the right candidates.

Aptly finds strong interns, co-op students, and new graduates based on their real coursework, skills, and experience, giving you a focused shortlist and a clear reason why each student fits.

Save time

Start with the students who are most likely to fit the role

Instead of reading hundreds of applications, begin with a focused group of students whose skills, coursework, and experience match what the job actually needs.

Find hidden talent

See strong candidates that a normal search may miss

A great student may have the right skills even when their degree title, previous job, or résumé wording does not look like the obvious match. Aptly helps you find those students before they are overlooked.

Reach talent earlier

Find promising students before every other employer does

Aptly gives you access to students based on their potential and demonstrated skills, even before they have applied to your company or started looking at the same roles as everyone else.

Trust the evidence

Make decisions using more than a polished résumé

Résumés can leave out important details and can be written to sound stronger than they are. Aptly looks at coursework, academic results, projects, and experience so you can see the evidence behind a student’s skills.

Keep hiring human

Use technology for the search, then spend your time with people

Aptly helps with the slow work of finding and comparing students, so recruiters can spend more time speaking with candidates, learning who they are, and deciding who will succeed on the team.

Find the students who fit the role best

Aptly compares each role with verified student skills, coursework, and experience, then shows the strongest matches and why they fit

Built on better information

Aptly uses verified courses and grades instead of relying only on résumés, keywords, or self-reported claims.

Explain every match

Employers can see why a student fits the job, which skills support the match, and how the recommendation was made.

Use models people can trust
