For Georgia Tech students and alumni
Sign in with LinkedIn and add your résumé. Doorway shows you the GT alumni most likely to help you, and why. Connect with one tap and keep talking in Messages.
“Hi Marcus! Fellow Big Data Big Impact member here. I’m applying for the Revenue Management SWE internship…”
Georgia Tech has 170,000+ alumni at nearly every company students want. That network is scattered across alumni databases, LinkedIn and spreadsheets, and nobody has a reason or an easy way to open the door.
Programs like this usually stall in three places: the portal nobody logs into, the ask that sits forever, and the outcome nobody reports. Doorway removes all three.
Continue with LinkedIn, drop in your résumé, and pick a few companies you want. About a minute.
We match you with alumni on where you want to work, shared Engage@GT clubs, your major and your background, and tell you why each person fits.
We draft the message. They accept or say not now, and you keep talking in Messages, right on Doorway.
Built on Engage@GT. 814 student orgs from the public directory are matched against your résumé, so shared clubs show up without any typing. Résumés are read on our own server and never sent to a third party.
Join in a minute with LinkedIn. Pick how many students a month, even one. Requests show up in your Messages, and you accept or say not now. You hear what your help led to, and you can offer a chat to students who match your path.
The Career Center sees how students move from first request to interview to offer, by class year and major, which employers need more alumni, and where students land after graduation. Anonymous totals only.
The hackathon challenge
“How can shared university connection turn into opportunities, so students and alumni can discover the right people, access resources, and transform these relationships into real-world impact?”
Your résumé and target companies are matched against alumni with a mix of hard signals (same company, same club, same major) and résumé similarity, with the reason shown for every match.
15-minute chats and referrals for a specific job, accepted in one tap, then a real conversation in Messages. Everyone sets a monthly limit, so no one is swamped.
Every request ends in a measured outcome: chats, interviews, offers, honest rejections. Alumni see what their help led to, and GT sees career progress it has never been able to measure.
Students choose whether their outcomes count toward GT’s numbers. The Career Center sees only aggregates, and any group smaller than 5 is hidden. Students are never ranked. Résumés are only opened by the person a student asks.
