Does this feel like your current reality?

Speech bubble: You're unsure which roles are the right fit for you. You're applying broadly, but you don't feel confident that your targets align with your strengths or interests.
Speech bubble: You're applying, but not hearing back. Applications are going out, yet interviews and traction feel inconsistent or slow.
Speech bubble: You're working hard, but you don't feel confident in your strategy. There's effort and activity, but no clear plan tying it all together.

If so, you’re not alone. And you’re not doing anything wrong.

Today's recruiting landscape asks for more clarity, structure, and personalized support than most students get on their own. Career services offer valuable resources, but many students need an individual strategy and accountability to gain traction.

How We Help

We turn effort into a clear recruiting strategy.

Through coaching, structure, and accountability, students stop guessing and start making progress they can see.

Card 1: 01 Clarity. Define realistic role targets, learn what employers look for, and focus your energy where it counts.
Card 2: 02 Strategy. Position your experience with intention, tailor every application, prepare for interviews, and plan around recruiting timelines instead of racing them.
Card 3: 03 Support. Coaching, feedback, and accountability at every stage, so confidence builds and every decision is an informed one.

No cookie-cutter advice.

Every student's background, goals, and timeline are different, so our guidance is too.

We've sat on the other side of the table.

We're Natalie Schoonover and Stephanie Turner. Before founding LaunchPoint Talent, we spent decades leading early career recruiting and talent strategy at global professional services firms. We built the interview rubrics, ran the assessment centers, and reviewed and hired tens of thousands of students for internships and full-time roles.

That experience shapes everything we teach. Our students learn what recruiters and hiring managers look for, and how to show it.
