We are aware that LinkedIn has similar capabilities to IvyPlusResumes, and we were concerned that we may be trying to do something that others like LinkedIn have already done. Multiple recruiters said that they do not use LinkedIn much for undergraduate recruiting because LinkedIn tends to be more effective for networking with people more advanced in their careers. Students who are applying to entry-level jobs right out of college not only take up the most time for recruiters, but also have the most limited experience. The recruiters noted that undergraduate profiles on LinkedIn are often sparse. Furthermore, the recruiters said that at this stage in the process, they are only looking for the ability to sort and view resumes. Similarly, a few freshmen and sophomores said that they wanted a resume builder and that they did not like the UI of most resume builders. One freshman noted that he was not “experienced enough to look good on LinkedIn” and did not bother including detailed descriptions on his profile.

He is now taken to a page which resembles a resume, except where there is usually text, there are textboxes with hints.
He fills in these textboxes and has a form that now looks like this:
