Why Coastal Haven Partners?
We built the talent network that finance recruiting desperately needs—one that works for students, recruiters, and schools alike.
How We Fix Finance Recruiting
Traditional recruiting is broken. Here's what we do differently.
For Students
The old way
- Top talent at non-target schools gets overlooked
- Success depends on who you know, not what you know
- Apply to 50 firms, hear back from none
With Coastal Haven
- Recruiters discover you by GPA, skills, and interests
- Verified credentials build instant trust
- Direct messaging with recruiters—no gatekeepers
For Recruiters
The old way
- Thousands of applications, no way to filter for quality
- Great talent exists everywhere, but no time to find it
- LinkedIn profiles are stale, transcripts are unverified
With Coastal Haven
- Pre-verified candidates with real GPAs and transcripts
- Powerful filters to find talent from any school
- Bulk outreach campaigns with personalized templates
