LookSharp (formerly InternMatch) was the largest internship and entry-level jobs marketplace dedicated entirely to US college students and new grads, connecting a marketplace of job-seeking students with employers who used its enterprise recruiting products to build employment brand and streamline campus hiring. Founded in 2009 by Andrew Maguire and Nathan Parcells and backed by 500 Global, LookSharp was acquired by WayUp in 2017; its internmatch.com domain now redirects to wayup.com and the brand no longer operates independently. This profile documents a defunct/acquired company with no public API or developer surface.
LookSharp is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Job, Recruiting, Internships, and Careers.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Education & Research regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/looksharp: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
