The story behind RecruitU

By Wes & Brooks -

Talent shapes everything — the companies we build, the careers we pursue, the problems we solve. And yet, recruiting — the system that moves talent through the world — hasn’t evolved. It’s still running on outdated infrastructure built for a different era.

We started RecruitU because we experienced that firsthand. As students trying to break into industries like investment banking, we saw how confusing, inefficient, and gatekept the process really was.

Later, after working with thousands of students across the country, it became even clearer: the stress wasn’t just a byproduct — it was a symptom of a broken system.

Students are left navigating fragmented tools and informal networks. Employers rely on outdated workflows and incomplete data. The entire process is reactive, disconnected, and built around gatekeepers — not around talent.

RecruitU starts where every other system begins too late — with the candidate. By removing intermediaries and capturing data early, we’re building a smarter, faster, and more transparent recruiting experience for everyone involved.

This isn’t just a tool — it’s a network. One that connects students, clubs, and employers in a way that reflects how recruiting actually happens — and grows with people as they move from undergrad to postgrad and beyond.

We’re not here to improve the old system — we’re here to replace it with something better.
