Step 3
You see what students need
A monthly report: who used it, what they asked for, and which jobs your area is missing.
Why a text line
Your students don't read career emails. They answer texts.
Students skip the portal and the newsletter. Nearly every one of them reads a text within minutes.
Works on any phone
Smartphones, flip phones and prepaid plans, in English or Spanish. Nothing to install, no account, no password.
Only jobs they can get to
Not a national job board. Students see openings near campus, or near home over breaks, by distance or bus line.
Live, not last month's
Openings come straight from employer career sites and are checked every day. Filled jobs drop off.
What students see
Real openings, in seconds, any time they ask.
One number to save. Here's what a student gets when they ask for work, when a new job posts, and when they land an interview.
Ask in their own words
No portal and no login. Students text the way they talk, like “weekends only” or “near the east campus,” and get openings with pay, distance and a link to apply.
Internships, the day they post
Openings come straight from employer career sites and are checked every day, so students hear about an internship before it fills.
Help all the way to hired
When an interview is booked, students can practice by text with questions for that job, or send a photo of a résumé for help.
Your name on it
The line is yours. So is the win.
Students text your line, not ours. We hand you everything you need to announce it.

Questions
What schools ask us.
What does it cost?
One flat annual fee, from a few thousand dollars a year for a community college to tens of thousands for a large university or system, with unlimited texts and no setup, per-text or per-student charges. It's priced to fit common purchasing thresholds. Book a call and you'll have an exact price the same day.
Do students need an app or an account?
No. Students text your local number from any phone, including flip phones and prepaid plans. There's nothing to download and no password.
Where do the jobs come from?
Directly from employer career sites and hiring systems, checked every day. We show openings in your region, so students see work they can actually get to.
How much of our staff's time does it take?
About two hours over the first month: a kickoff call, a review of your line's name and first texts, and sign-off on your launch announcement. We build and run everything else.
Whose name is on it?
Yours. The line carries your school's name, and we give you a launch kit with flyers, posters and social posts, so the public win is yours.
What happens to students' data?
It's never sold or shared with advertisers. Student data belongs to your school, with a full export any time. We're FERPA compliant and SOC 2 certified, and anyone can text STOP to opt out.
What do we get back?
A monthly report: how many students used the line, what they searched for, which links they opened, and the jobs they asked for that your region doesn't have yet. It's the list of employers worth recruiting next.
What if it doesn't get used?
Terms are one year, and next year's price is agreed before you renew. You decide on the numbers in your own monthly report. If students aren't using it, you don't renew.
Who it's for
Anyone responsible for getting people to work.
One line can serve a single town, a campus, a whole county, a region or a state.

Every town inside your borders, under the county's name.
