No resume yet? You don't need one to get noticed.
ContactedIn for students is built for people who are still figuring it out — university, college, bootcamp, self-taught. Show what you're working on, what you're curious about, and what you want to learn next. The right people find you.
Your school. Your projects. Your momentum.
Verified school email gets you the verified badge — no LinkedIn required.
A side project, a research idea, a half-built product — that's your headline.
Internships, mentors, co-founders, study groups, freelance work — pick any.
What students actually use ContactedIn for.
Recruiters reach out with structured offers — no spam, no ghosting, no "open to work" status games.
Match with senior people in your field who opted-in to mentor. Real conversations, structured asks.
Find people building what you want to build, or studying what you're studying.
Workshops, hackathons, panels — the kind of thing that compounds your career early.
Pick up real paid work to build your portfolio without grinding job boards.
The classmates and peers you'll know for the next 30 years are joining now.
The bar is intent — not a resume.
We built ContactedIn because the people most worth talking to often don't fit the LinkedIn template. Show what you're building, what you're learning, and what kind of opportunity would change your year. NI-AI takes it from there.
