Cooper for early talent
Early talent recruiting software.Read every application, not the first fifty.
Campus and graduate programs do not struggle to attract applicants. They struggle to read them. Cooper's AI team screens every application against your program criteria, interviews everyone who qualifies, and hands your recruiters one clear summary per candidate.
Trusted by teams hiring early talent
From a single summer internship to graduate cohorts across a dozen offices, recruiting teams use Cooper to get through the pile.
THE EARLY TALENT CHALLENGE
Campus hiring is not a sourcing problem. It is a reading problem.
Two thousand applications, one recruiter, three weeks
A single graduate posting can out-apply an entire requisition year. The first few hundred get a real read. The rest get a keyword scan, or they wait until the roles are gone.
Without work history, every resume looks alike
Same degree, same grades, same three societies. The signal that actually predicts a good hire — how someone thinks about a problem — is not on the page at all.
Students accept the first real offer
Candidates are interviewing with six employers on a term timetable. A two-week gap between applying and hearing back loses the people your campus team worked hardest to attract.
THE PLATFORM
An AI screening team for early careers recruitment
Scout and Robin work as a pair. Scout reads every application, Robin interviews everyone who qualifies, and your team gets one summary per candidate instead of a folder of look-alike resumes.

HOW IT WORKS
How a campus application pile becomes a cohort
The same four steps run behind every program, whether forty people applied to one placement or four thousand applied across a graduate intake.
- 1
Applications arrive from every channel
Careers page, campus events, job boards, or the ATS you already run. Nothing changes about how students apply.
- 2
Scout reads every one against your program criteria
Coursework, projects, skills, availability, and graduation date, assessed on the rubric you set — the four thousandth application gets the same read as the fourth.
- 3
Robin interviews everyone who qualifies
An invite goes out within minutes of applying, then a structured first-round interview that gives every candidate the same chance to show how they think.
- 4
Your team gets a ranked summary per candidate
Recruiters and hiring managers open one record per person — score, transcript, evidence — and build the cohort from there.

- Early talent recruiting software manages hiring for students, interns, graduates, and other early-career candidates in one system. Cooper combines an applicant tracking system with an AI screening team: Scout reads every application against your program criteria and Robin interviews everyone who qualifies, so your team receives one ranked, summarized record per candidate instead of a spreadsheet and a folder of resumes.
- Volume is the reason most teams adopt it. Scout assesses every application on the same rubric regardless of how many arrive, so the four thousandth applicant to a graduate intake gets the same read as the fourth. There is no triage queue and no point at which the team starts keyword-scanning to catch up.
- They are a screening pair. Scout reads every incoming application against the criteria you set for the program and decides who is worth a conversation. Robin then runs the structured first-round interview with those candidates and captures the answers. The output is a single summary per candidate — score, interview transcript, recording, and the evidence behind the recommendation — so recruiters and hiring managers compare people side by side without reopening resumes.
- Yes, and this is where it earns its place. You define criteria around projects, coursework, skills, motivation, location, and availability instead of years of experience. Robin's structured interview then gives every candidate the same opportunity to show how they reason about a problem, which is signal a resume cannot carry.
- Structured screening is normally more consistent than manual triage, because every applicant is assessed against the same published criteria rather than by whoever picked up the file on a given afternoon. Cooper records the reasoning behind each recommendation so your team can audit it. That said, you own the criteria and the final decision, and you remain responsible for meeting your own fairness and equal-opportunity obligations.
- Yes. Each program keeps its own criteria, interview questions, stages, and hiring team, while candidates, feedback, and progress stay in one connected system. Teams commonly run several cohorts and intake seasons in parallel.
- Yes. You can run Cooper as your recruiting platform, or point Scout and Robin at your existing ATS and keep managing hiring where your team already works. Applications sync in, and screened candidates with scores, summaries, and interview transcripts sync back.
- No. Scout and Robin handle the reading and the first-round conversation, then hand back a summary. Recruiters and hiring managers review it, run any further assessment your program requires, and make the hiring decision.
