What the radar handles
What you stop having to do
Hundreds of firms monitored
Banking, consulting, law, Big 4, asset management, hedge funds, quant trading, tech. Every major graduate employer is tracked.
Email the moment applications open
Not the day after. Not when LinkedIn announces it. The moment the application form goes live, the email lands. Average latency in 2026: 18 minutes.
Deadline reminders before they close
Two reminders by default: one 14 days out, one 48 hours out. Late applications are the single most preventable cause of missed offers.
Filter by what you actually want
Sector, region, programme type, individual firms. You only get emails for openings you would apply to. No noise.
Free Tracker view, paid alerts
The visual deadline calendar is free with no card required. Live email alerts are included on every subscription and Pack. Use what you need.
One-click into the Pack
Every alert email links to the firm Pack so prep is one click away. The candidates who apply within 48 hours of an opening get the most attentive review.
The basics
What does the radar actually do?
Firm Radar is a monitoring service. It checks the careers pages, ATS endpoints (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, SmartRecruiters) and careers-RSS feeds of hundreds of graduate employers, and emails you the moment a role you flagged opens. It also tracks the deadlines on every flagged role and sends reminders 14 days and 48 hours before they close.
The problem it solves is timing. Top firms close applications fast - Goldman's Spring Week historically closes in 24 to 72 hours from opening, McKinsey's Solve deadlines have closed in under a week, magic-circle vacation schemes are over within days of opening. Candidates who refresh careers pages every morning miss openings; candidates who rely on LinkedIn alerts find out a fortnight late. Candidates who use Firm Radar get the email the moment the form goes live.
The free Tracker view gives you a visual calendar of upcoming openings and deadlines - useful for planning a recruitment cycle, picking which firms to target, mapping out a realistic application sprint. The live email alerts (free with any subscription tier or Pack) push them to you in real time. Most candidates start with the Tracker, then upgrade to alerts the week before peak season opens.
The radar is not magic. It runs on regular polling (every 6 hours for most firms, hourly for the top 200 in peak season), HTML diff detection, ATS API integration where firms publish them, and human review of newsletter and recruiter Twitter feeds for the long tail. False positives are rare; missed openings are rarer. We publish the monthly latency stats on the Tracker page.

How it works
From careers-page change to inbox
Pick your firms
Choose specific firms, sectors, regions or programme types. Set it broad (all UK IB), narrow (just Goldman and JPM), or anything in between. 60 seconds.
The radar watches
Careers pages monitored every 6 hours, hourly for top firms in peak season. ATS endpoints, careers RSS feeds, and HTML diffs catch changes the moment they happen.
You get the email
When an application opens, the email goes out within 30 minutes. Includes direct link, deadline, region, division and one-click into the firm Pack.
When to set it up
The recruitment cycle calendar
From candidates who used Firm Radar across a full cycle. The setup window matters more than most candidates realise.
- 01
Set up alerts before peak season
June - JulyUK Spring Weeks and Summer Internships start opening late July and August. Set up filters in June so you do not scramble. Most missed openings happen because the filter was not set up yet.
- 02
Peak UK season - daily alerts firing
August - NovemberThe 200 tier-1 firms are checked hourly. You will get 5 to 20 alert emails a week if your filters are broad. Most candidates narrow filters in October to manage volume.
- 03
US bulge-bracket peak + UK off-cycle
December - JanuaryUS peak is shifted later than UK. If you are applying to both, this is when US Spring Insight and Sophomore programmes open. Keep the radar wide.
- 04
Off-cycle and late rounds
February - JuneQuieter but not empty. Off-cycle internships, late grad scheme rounds, rolling deadlines, second-year deferred starts. Most candidates relax filters to "all openings" during off-cycle.

FAQ
Firm Radar questions, answered
What is Firm Radar?
Firm Radar monitors the careers pages of hundreds of graduate employers and emails you the day an application opens for a role you flagged. It also tracks deadlines and sends reminders before they close. The free Tracker view lets you see every upcoming opening and deadline on a calendar; the alert emails (free with any subscription) push them to you in real time.
How often are firm careers pages monitored?
Most firms are checked every 6 hours. Tier-1 banks, MBB consultancies and magic-circle law firms (about 200 firms total) are checked hourly during peak recruitment season - August to November in the UK, September to January in the US. When a status changes from "closed" to "open" the email goes out within 30 minutes. Average alert latency across the 2026 cycle so far: 18 minutes.
Which firms are tracked?
All major investment banks (US bulge-bracket plus European), all MBB and Tier 2 consulting, magic-circle and silver-circle law firms, Big 4, all bulge-bracket asset managers, the largest hedge funds and quant trading firms, plus tech (FAANG and adjacent). Hundreds of firms in total. The list grows each cycle - boutique firms get added as they appear in candidate searches.
Can I customise my alerts?
Yes. Filter by sector (banking, consulting, law, Big 4, tech, asset management, hedge fund, quant trading), by region (UK, US, EU, APAC, MENA), by programme type (spring week, summer internship, graduate scheme, off-cycle, vacation scheme), and by individual firms. You can also exclude firms - useful if you have already applied or already rejected an offer there.
Do I get deadline reminders before applications close?
Yes. Two reminders by default per flagged firm: one when 14 days remain on the deadline, one when 48 hours remain. Both customisable - you can set them at any interval you prefer, or disable them entirely. Late applications are the single most preventable cause of missed offers; the reminders close that gap consistently.
Is Firm Radar free?
The Tracker (the visual view of upcoming deadlines on a calendar) is free with no card required - the simplest way to use Intervyo without paying for anything. Active email alerts are included in every subscription tier (Monthly and Season Pass) and every Pack. Free tier users see the 5 most recent openings in the app; subscribers get unlimited live alerts.
How does this compare to LinkedIn job alerts?
LinkedIn alerts pull from LinkedIn job postings, which lag firm careers pages by anywhere from a day to a fortnight. By the time LinkedIn lists Goldman's Spring Week, the application has been open for two weeks and you have lost the best window. Firm Radar pulls directly from firm careers pages and ATS endpoints, so you are notified at source.
What happens during off-cycle when nothing is opening?
Off-cycle (typically February to June for UK, March to August for US) is quieter but not empty - off-cycle internships, late graduate scheme rounds, and rolling deadlines still happen. Firm Radar continues to monitor and alert; you just receive fewer emails. Most candidates use the off-cycle window to set up alerts for the next intake cycle.
