Early-talent intelligence layer
Build hiring-ready talent before hiring begins.
stu. is an early-talent alignment platform that translates employer-defined hiring standards into measurable, longitudinal capability pathways - improving candidate readiness before hiring begins.
stu. builds the intelligence layer between universities and employers, transforming fragmented student activity into calibrated capability signals aligned to real hiring outcomes.

Why early-career hiring breaks today
Signal distortion creates avoidable inefficiency, bias amplification, and higher ramp costs.
- GPA varies by institution and grading culture.
- Prestige often substitutes for measurable capability.
- Resume screening compresses multi-year development into a static snapshot.
- Students lack clarity on what hiring-ready truly means.
How Stu restores signal density
Stu is infrastructure for capability translation, not another job board workflow.
Employer Capability Modeling
Companies define structured hiring-ready profiles across technical, applied, and behavioral dimensions.
Artifact Structuring and Normalization
Coursework, projects, certifications, and leadership experiences are translated into latent capability dimensions.
Alignment Scoring
Students are scored probabilistically against employer profiles using normalized capability vectors.
Outcome Calibration
Interview and offer outcomes refine model weights over time so readiness prediction improves each cycle.
Operating model
A feedback-driven early-talent intelligence layer
Stu translates employer hiring standards into measurable pathways, then uses outcomes to continuously improve prediction quality.
1
Define target capability profiles
Employer teams specify what hiring-ready looks like for each early-career role before recruiting starts.
2
Structure longitudinal artifacts
Student activity across academics and applied work is converted into comparable evidence vectors.
3
Score candidate-role alignment
Readiness is assessed probabilistically against employer benchmarks, not resume heuristics.
4
Calibrate to hiring outcomes
Interview and offer outcomes continuously tune profile weights and signal interpretation.

What stu. is not
- Not a job board.
- Not resume optimization software.
- Not a bootcamp.
- Not a recruiting agency.
- Not a university replacement.
Stu is infrastructure that increases signal density in early-career hiring.
Pilot pathway
Run an employer pilot with measurable outcomes
If stu. increases interview conversion, reduces junior ramp time, or lowers early attrition by even modest margins, the ROI exceeds enterprise subscription costs by multiples.
Ideal early customers
- Tech companies hiring 50+ graduates annually
- Consulting firms with structured competency models
- Engineering-driven enterprises with high junior ramp costs
- Teams investing heavily in campus recruiting with measurable readiness goals
stu. becomes the operating system for early-career talent alignment - a capability translation layer that reduces uncertainty in hiring and replaces heuristic screening with outcome-calibrated signal.
Over time, stu. evolves into the standard infrastructure layer connecting universities and employers. Companies define capability expectations, students generate longitudinal development data, and hiring outcomes recalibrate the model continuously.
