For New grads

A launchpad into work.

No network or playbook required. We position your potential and get you reps fast.

In short

Your first job search is brutal for a simple reason: you're asked to prove experience you haven't had the chance to earn yet, with no network and no playbook to lean on. Marqee pairs you with a Career Concierge — a real career strategist who positions your potential as evidence, tailors your materials to each role, runs the recruiter and referral outreach you don't have the connections for, and submits applications on your behalf. The goal is simple: stop applying into the void and start interviewing. AI does the heavy lifting in the engine room; a human makes every call.

[ → ] The new-grad trapWhy it's hard

It isn't that you're not good enough. It's that the system is built to filter out people who don't yet have a track record — and nobody hands you the map.

"Entry-level, 3 years required"

No network to open a door

One generic resume, sent everywhere

Filtered out by the ATS before a human reads it

Silence — and no idea what to fix

How Marqee helps new grads

Potential, turned into a marquee candidate.

The same human-led engine behind every Marqee search, tuned to where you actually are: little experience, no network, no playbook. Here's what a strategist does for you specifically.

01

We turn your potential into evidence

You have more proof than you think; it's just in the wrong language for a resume. Your strategist mines your degree, projects, internships, coursework, research, clubs, part-time and campus jobs, and translates them into the outcomes and signals employers screen for.

  • A capstone project becomes a shipped result; a group assignment becomes "led a team of four."
  • Babysitting, retail, or food-service jobs become reliability, ownership, and customer judgment.
  • We name the transferable skills hiring managers want and back each one with something you actually did.
  • You leave with a resume that reads like a candidate with a track record — not a blank page.
02

We aim you at the right roles

Spraying applications at every "entry-level" posting is the fastest way to burn out and hear nothing. Your strategist builds a focused target list of titles and companies where a new grad genuinely competes, and reads the fine print so you don't self-reject from a "3 years required" line that's really negotiable.

  • Roles found and scored for you daily — no endless scrolling through listings that won't reply.
  • Companies grouped into reach, match, and strong-fit, with new-grad and rotational programs flagged.
  • A clear answer to "what should I even apply for?" — so you aim instead of guess.
03

We tailor every application — and clear the ATS

One generic resume is why most new-grad applications vanish. Each application is rewritten around the specific role's language, so you pass the automated screen instead of getting filtered out by it, and a real person checks it before it goes out.

  • A resume reworked per role around the exact keywords and signals that posting rewards.
  • A tailored intro note when it moves the needle — never filler.
  • ATS-aware formatting that survives the parser, reviewed by a human, not a bot.
  • Your LinkedIn sharpened so recruiters who search for early talent find you first.
04

We give you a network you don't have yet

The biggest new-grad disadvantage isn't your resume; it's that you don't know anyone inside the building. So you borrow ours. Your strategist works recruiters and surfaces warm paths, including ones you didn't know existed.

  • Recruiter and hiring-manager outreach for priority roles, drafted in your voice — never copy-paste spam.
  • Referral discovery across alumni, second-degree connections, and your target companies.
  • The warm-intro ask written for you, so it's easy to send and easy to say yes to.
  • You approve before anything sends — outreach goes out from your own account.
05

We submit on your behalf and prep you to win

A real person submits each tailored application — deliberate, never mass-blasted as you. Then, as replies come in, your strategist gets you ready for the first interviews of your career, the part no one taught you in school.

  • Every application submitted by a human on the Assisted flow — you tap approve, it sends from your account.
  • Role-specific talking points and the questions a team is likely to ask a new grad.
  • How to talk about limited experience as a strength, plus a straight answer on entry-level comp.
  • Weekly review of what's landing, so the strategy gets sharper while you focus on showing up.

The honest comparison

Going it alone gets you volume. A strategist gets you interviews.

Applying alone, you only ever knock on the front door. A strategist also walks you in the side one — reaching the hiring manager and tracking down the referral you didn't know you had.

Job-board grind, solo
One resume, fired everywhere

Generic applications get filtered by the ATS.

No way past "experience required"

You self-reject or get auto-rejected.

No network, no warm intros

You're a stranger in every applicant pile.

Silence with no feedback

You can't fix what you can't see.

What you can expect

Real outcomes, not busywork.

Here's what changes in the first weeks when a real person owns your first job search.

You stop applying into the void

Every application is tailored and submitted by a person — aimed at roles where you actually compete.

You get top billing, not the bottom of the pile

Recruiter outreach and warm referrals put your name in front of the people who decide.

You get your time back

The legwork moves off your plate, so you can study for finals, work your current job, or just breathe.

* Pricing is weekly with no long contract — Basic is $29/wk. Marqee is a new company; we don't publish placement or interview-rate figures we haven't earned, and the weekly model means you stay only while it's working for you. Compare plans →

Why trust us with your first job

Real people, on your side.

Career advice this early shapes everything that comes after — so it shouldn't come from a bot guessing in the dark.

Marqee is a premium career partner, not an auto-apply gadget. Other approaches hand a new grad a slicker form-filler and call it done; we hand you a person who runs the whole search. Every member gets a named career strategist, a real human who knows exactly how new grads get filtered out, and how they get in. AI works quietly in the engine room, scanning and ranking openings at a scale no person could; your strategist makes every decision that has your name on it.

We measure success the way you do — interviews booked and offers received, plus the hours of search time handed back to you — not raw application counts. You stay in control the whole way: every application and message is prepared for you and sends from your own account once you approve it, and access is scoped to what you connect and revocable anytime.

FAQ

New-grad questions, answered.

Yes — that's exactly who this is built for. Your strategist positions your degree, projects, internships, coursework, and part-time work as real, relevant evidence, translating what you've done into the signals employers actually screen for. You read like a candidate, not a blank page.

You borrow ours. Your strategist runs recruiter outreach for priority roles and surfaces warm referral paths — including alumni and second-degree connections you didn't know you had — then drafts the intro for you. You skip the cold-application pile most new grads get stuck in.

Basic at $29 a week is built for early career and new grads. It includes a dedicated strategist, quality-matched roles, per-role tailored materials, and recruiter and referral outreach you approve before it sends. You can move up to Pro at $49 a week anytime if you want more volume.

A real career strategist owns your search. AI does the heavy lifting in the engine room — scanning and ranking openings — but a human chooses your roles, tailors every application, and writes the outreach. Marqee is a career partner that uses AI, not an AI tool.

Mass-applying with one generic resume is what gets new grads filtered out by the ATS before a human ever reads it. Marqee tailors your materials to each role, gets a real person to submit them, and adds recruiter and referral outreach — the channels that actually convert to interviews.

Your strategist builds your targeting plan within 24 hours of onboarding, and tailored applications start that same week. Interviews depend on your field and market, but you stop guessing immediately — you see every role, message, and reply in your dashboard from day one.

That's normal this early, and it's part of the job. Your intake maps your strengths, interests, and constraints, and your strategist turns that into a focused target list of titles and companies where your profile genuinely competes — so you stop applying to everything and start aiming.

Yes. Your strategist rewrites your resume per role around the language each posting rewards, adds a tailored intro note when it helps, and sharpens your LinkedIn so recruiters who search find a marquee candidate. Everything is ATS-aware and reviewed by a human before it goes out.

A faster start to your first salaried role is usually worth far more than a few weeks of fees, and there's no long contract — it's weekly, so you stay only while it's working. For most new grads, the bottleneck isn't effort, it's reps and access, which is exactly what Basic buys.
