FAQ
Two things. Birdee helps you scope a paid ten week intern project: the outcome, weekly milestones, skills and mentor time. Then Birdee finds students whose work fits it, and they say yes before you see them.
One page Birdee drafts from a short chat: the outcome, what the intern delivers, a goal for each week with checkpoints, the skills, the mentor's time, hours and dates. You edit it. Birdee then reads every student against it.
No. UTern sits in front of it. Students who say yes arrive in your role on UTern with their evidence. On the Custom plan they are also written into Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby with your key.
A board sends you whoever applies. Birdee goes to the students who fit your scope, on UTern and the open web, and asks them. You read a checked record, not a pile.
Students already on UTern first, then the open web: public LinkedIn profiles, GitHub, Devpost, club and school pages. It never logs in to anyone's network, and before signup UTern holds only what the open web shows.
Your scope, read by Birdee. It reads only eligibility and job-related qualifications; school and graduation year are eligibility checks, never prestige or age filters. Every reach-out is logged with its reasons. The selection log is yours on request.
Evidence, never scores: eligibility checked, skills proven on UTern in the student's own words, and any task you asked for. Race, gender, age and photo are never in the room, and no name or school rank during review. Identity attaches with the student's consent.
Posting a role costs $0, and you pay nothing if you don't hire. When you hire: $750 for your first hire in 12 months, $600 each for the 2nd and 3rd, $500 each from the 4th. The rate drops on its own, per company, over a rolling 12 months. Hiring 10 or more a year? Custom starts at $500 per hire, with ATS integration and invoicing terms.
You pay the intern for their work, as you would with any hire. The fee replaces what finding them costs: recruiting agencies typically charge 15 to 25% of first-year pay, and a role usually sits open about six weeks. UTern's fee is once per hire, only if you hire, and drops to $500 from your 4th hire in 12 months.
A seat is UTern's word for one role you are hiring for. Post a role, and Birdee scopes it with you and finds students who fit it.
