Honesty over hype
Every row on your record is labeled: checked on UTern, or claimed from your LinkedIn. UTern never invents a line.
Our mission
Internships shouldn't feel like spam.
We applied to 80+ internships in one semester and got callbacks from three. That's when we flipped it: the company comes to you.
The problem
The search punishes the people doing it.
You scroll for an hour. You apply. You hear nothing. You do it again. The advice is always the same: cast wide, apply to everything, hope something sticks. The result is a week of your life spent on cover letters for roles you were never right for.
UTern flips the order. A student brings their LinkedIn once, and the record is labeled: checked on UTern, or claimed. A company scopes the internship with Birdee, and Birdee finds the students who fit, scores each record blind against the scope, and brings the company the ones who say yes.
We never invent experience, and we never apply for you. Your record goes only to roles you said yes to, with no name, photo or school rank on it during review. Every score is logged. The interview is the company's.
What we believe
Three things we won't compromise on.
You stay in control
Your record goes only to roles you said yes to. Nothing reaches a company without your say.
Smarter, not noisier
The ones who fit, not a pile. The goal is no time applying, not less.
Who we are
Two students. One problem. One product.
