Our Story

Not a Coaching Company.Not a Staffing Firm.We've built the system you've been wishing existed.

Everyone runs me through the same process. Nobody ever asked what I actually needed.

— what a student told us before we started Splendid
That was the gap. Coaching companies and staffing firms all run the same script. Nobody stops to ask the one person it's meant to help.
We're Gaurav and Manisha. Together, we've spent nearly eight years on this one problem — working directly with 500+ careers, and seeing the same pattern in 2,000+ more. So we built a company that asks first.

From individuals. For individuals.

Who this is for

Two kinds of people. One system, shaped to each.

We don't run everyone through the same playbook. Where you are today decides where we start.

International students

Chasing your first full-time U.S. offer

You're on OPT, a STEM extension, or watching your H-1B window close. You're doing everything right, but the callbacks aren't coming.

  • A resume and profile built for U.S. recruiters, not templates
  • Targeted outreach and alumni introductions, not mass applying
  • Interview practice with people who've sat on the other side
Working professionals

Trying to move up, or move over

You're already working, but stuck. The next level won't come, the pivot won't land, or you don't have time to run the search alone.

  • Positioning that shows what you can do next
  • A job search we run with you, not a course we hand you
  • Support from the first call to the signed offer

350+ students stopped applying blindly.

Real international students. Real offers. Real stories — not curated highlight reels.

The process

What working with us looks like

We ask first, then build around your answer. Here's how it goes, from the first call to the offer.

01
We ask first

Find the real gap

Before any advice, we have one honest conversation: what's working, what isn't, and what you actually need.

02
Built for you

Build the plan around it

We shape your profile, targets, and outreach around that gap and your timeline. No one-size-fits-all plan.

03
In the trenches

Work it together

We run it with you: applications, introductions, and interview practice. We adjust as the market responds.

04
The finish line

First call to signed offer

We stay with you until the offer comes in, then help you weigh it and choose the right one.

Where our people landed

350+ careers. Real companies. Real offers.

Arjun K. success story

I was messaging seniors who didn't work at my target companies. Splendid reversed the search — mapped Stripe, Notion, and Datadog first, then found warm paths I didn't know I had. One intro turned into a referral and an offer in six weeks.

What we stand for

Five values. One promise.

01

We ask first

Your plan starts from your gap, not our template.

02

In the trenches

We do the work with you, not hand you a course and leave.

03

Flat fees, not cuts

You know the price up front. No cut of your salary, no surprises.

04

Honest over impressive

No fake job guarantees, no inflated numbers. What we say holds up.

05

Reputation over margin

If we fall short, we make it right, even when it costs us.

From individuals, for individuals. That thread runs through all five.

Our promise: our direct attention, from the first call to the signed offer.

No group coaching. No treating you like a number. A team that runs your search like it's the only one that matters.

By the numbers

Nearly eight years, one career at a time.
