GradToHired Launches Autopilot the AI Networking Engine Helping Students Land Jobs in a Competitive Market
United States, 2nd Oct 2025 – In today’s tough job market, where thousands of AI-generated applications overwhelm recruiters every day, recent graduates are finding it harder than ever to land internships, interviews, and entry-level roles. GradToHired is introducing its new Autopilot feature, an AI-powered networking engine designed specifically for early-career professionals who want to stand out and secure opportunities.
The Market is Challenging for Students
The statistics highlight the problem:
- 75% of job applications never receive a response
- The average job search now takes more than five months
- More than half of graduates are underemployed in jobs that do not require their degree
AI has made mass job applications easier, but this has buried qualified candidates in a sea of generic resumes. Students know the system is broken and are looking for a smarter way in.
Introducing GradToHired Autopilot
Autopilot changes the way students approach job hunting. Instead of relying on job boards and portals, it uses advanced AI to research companies, identify key contacts, and send personalized networking emails at scale.
Key features include:
- AI-driven networking at scale: Autopilot finds employees at target companies and reaches out directly
- Personalized outreach: Messages are tailored using a student’s resume, LinkedIn profile, and company insights
- Inbox-to-interview efficiency: Outreach is tracked and optimized to boost response rates
- Focus on connections, not applications: Autopilot helps students bypass crowded applicant pools and connect with decision-makers
Why This Matters for Early Careers
Landing that first internship or job is often the hardest step in a career. Networking is the real differentiator, but most students lack professional connections. Autopilot levels the playing field by giving students access to the hidden job market.
A Platform Built for the Future of Work
GradToHired already offers targeted company discovery, email automation, and LinkedIn data enrichment. With Autopilot, these tools now run automatically to help students land interviews faster and with less effort.
Quotes from Leadership
“The job market is broken for students,” said Ian Kennedy, CEO of GradToHired. “Autopilot gives them a new way to cut through the noise and get noticed.”
“AI should be an advantage for students, not another obstacle,” added Ritesh Honnalli, CTO. “With Autopilot, students have the power of a recruiter in their pocket.”
