The Reality

Every platform is broken
for people like us.

You already knew this. 200 applications, 5 replies, all rejections. The system isn't broken — it was never built for you.

Visa filter relies on self-reporting

Most platforms rely on employer self-reporting with no independent verification. There's no upfront sponsorship confirmation before you apply.

→ 4,000 apps · 0 sponsorship clarity

Ghost interviews

Interviewer never shows. No reschedule. No explanation. Company moves on. You're left wondering what you did wrong — you did nothing wrong.

→ A widely shared experience across r/f1visa and r/cscareerquestions

OPT clock terror

Every rejection isn't just a setback — it's one day closer to having to leave the country. No platform acknowledges this exists.

→ 40 days left · 1,200 apps sent

No entry-level standards enforced

"Entry level — 2-3 years experience required." No platform enforces this. No platform calls it out. It's everywhere, on every platform, every day.

→ A pattern reported constantly across student job-search communities

Why do I feel so subhuman just because I'm an international student?

WHEN WE LAUNCH

What firstpath fixes

Built around
how you actually search.

Jobs will be sourced directly from company career pages. Listings will be kept fresh daily and stale listings automatically removed.

Sponsorship history

We will cross-reference every listing against the company's verified government sponsorship records. Past filings, not promises.

H1B records CPT eligible OPT ready STEM extension

Verified government sponsorship records indicate a company has sponsored visas in the past. It does not guarantee sponsorship for any individual application. Data sourced from U.S. government public records, updated quarterly.

Innovex 12 yr history
Bluewave 8 yr history
Northlight 3 yr history
Unknown Co. 0 yr history No data

Company names shown for illustrative purposes only.

OPT/CPT awareness

Set your OPT or CPT end date. We will surface roles that fit your timeline and remind you when your window is narrowing.

Filtered to 0–1 year experience

We will filter out any listing requiring more than 1 year of professional experience. If it says entry level but requires 3 years, it will not appear here.

Fresh listings only

Listings will be sourced directly from company career pages. Stale listings automatically removed after 14 days.

Community signals Coming Soon

Coming soon — students will report real experiences. Ghost rate, response time, actual sponsorship behavior. The data companies don't want you to have.

Application tracker

Kanban board built in. Track every application, every status, every follow-up — without a separate spreadsheet. Your whole search in one place.

How it works

From signup to first real
application in minutes.

Here is exactly how Firstpath will work when it launches.

No re-entering the same info on every platform. No guessing which jobs are real. Just your search, finally working for you.

01

Set your profile once

Tell us your visa type, graduation date, and target roles. We remember everything so you never fill the same form twice.

02

See jobs you can actually get

Your feed is filtered to entry-level and internship roles by default — with verified sponsorship data. Adjust filters anytime as your career grows. No ghost listings. No wasted clicks.

03

Know before you apply

Every listing shows sponsorship history from government records. See which companies have actually sponsored visas — before you spend time on an application.

04

Track everything in one place

Every application logged automatically. Kanban view. Follow-up reminders. OPT clock always visible. Your whole search in one place. Coming at launch.
