Job boards say "entry-level," then the description quietly wants three years. FirstRung reads every full posting and sends you only the roles a new grad can genuinely land. Verified daily, and never the same job twice.
Cancel anytime. The point is you stop needing us once you are hired.
Pulled fresh every day, straight from company hiring systems
Two postings, both tagged "entry-level." Only one is real. A keyword alert sends you the wrong one. We catch it before it reaches you.
Titles lie. Our verifier fetches the complete posting from the employer's own hiring system and checks what it truly requires. If any line demands prior professional experience, it is rejected. Internships, coursework and projects never count against you.
Most job boards do none of them. That is why "entry-level" means nothing there, and something here.
Every day we pull fresh postings straight from company hiring systems: Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and more. No scraped junk, no dead links, no reposted ghosts.
Titles lie. We read the complete description and reject anything that quietly demands prior professional experience. Internships, coursework and projects never count against you.
Every role we send is burned into your history. Tomorrow's digest is all new, so you never re-read the same forty listings wondering if you already applied.
We focus on the honest zero-experience jobs new grads actually land, across six role families. We deliberately skip engineering listings, since that market is flooded and well served elsewhere.
No new app to check, no dashboard to babysit. Open your email, see a short list of roles that actually fit, and apply. That is the whole product.
Concierge adds a bigger daily shortlist, hand reviewed for your background, plus a live application board so nothing slips. Track every role from applied to offer, with a note from your reviewer each week.
A keyword alert cannot tell an "entry-level" title from a role that secretly wants three years. That is the whole difference.

The entry-level job stopped being entry-level.
Over the last few years, the number of postings labeled "entry-level" that actually require two or three years of experience has quietly exploded. New graduates now compete for "junior" roles against people who already have full-time résumés, and the honest zero-experience jobs sit buried under thousands of listings that only pretend to be open to them.
So a new grad sends out a hundred applications, hears nothing, and slowly concludes the problem is them. It is not. The problem is that nobody was reading the fine print for them.
FirstRung reads it. Every morning it pulls thousands of fresh postings straight from company hiring systems, checks each full description for a genuine zero-experience floor, and sends you only the ones that pass. No keyword guessing, no ghost listings, no repeats.
We win when you stop needing us. The whole product is built to get you hired and out, not to keep you subscribed. That is the promise: the first rung, made reachable.
The single most common bait in the market. A title aimed at grads, a description aimed at people who are already hired.
After the fortieth fake listing, we wrote a script to read the full text of every posting and throw out the ones that were lying. The roles that survived were the real ones.
Full-JD verification, zero-experience floor detection, never-repeat history, delivered as one clean email a day.
Genuinely reachable roles, in your inbox, until the day you get the offer and cancel.
Drop your email and we will show you three roles straight from today's verified pool. The genuine article, no card, no account.
Three truly zero-experience roles, each checked against its full job description, on the house.
One free sample per person. The daily, personalized digest is Pro, $12/mo. We never share your email.
The job hunt is stressful enough. Pricing should not be part of it.
We fetch the complete job description from the employer's own hiring system and check what it really requires. If it demands prior professional experience anywhere in the text, not just the title, it is rejected. Internships, coursework and personal projects never count against you.
Business-side entry roles: operations, sales and GTM, data and business analysis, customer success, marketing, and program coordination. We deliberately do not chase software-engineering listings, since that market is flooded and well served elsewhere.
Alerts match keywords in titles. They cannot tell you the "entry-level analyst" role secretly wants three years in consulting, so you learn that only after tailoring a cover letter. We read the whole description first, and we never show you the same job twice.
Email. A clean daily digest with direct links to each real application. No new app to check, nothing to babysit. You set your city, remote preference and role types once.
Anytime, in one click. The entire point of FirstRung is that you stop needing it the moment you are hired, so we make leaving as easy as joining.
A daily list of genuinely entry-level roles. Verified, fresh, and never repeated.
