Developed by academics, for academics — to recruit, engage, and support graduate students more effectively.
Research portfolio management
Unified, auto-updated faculty and lab profiles — your department’s research identity in one living place.
Engagement & outreach
Short videos (Bytes) and team updates (Posts) keep prospective students engaged with your work.
Driven efficiency
The SAGE chatbot and PreSAGE email automation triage inquiries so your staff stop drowning in repetitive questions.
Opportunities
Post openings, REU programs, and roles — and track engagement from the students who matter.
Faculty showcase
Present research excellence in a way that elevates your department’s brand and rankings.
Coltie App integration
Everything connects to the student-facing Coltie App, where 45,000+ faculty already live.
The problem Hive solves
Universities struggle with scattered websites and manual updates that quietly erode recruitment, collaboration, communication, brand visibility, industry connections, and rankings.
- URM STEM PhD 7-year completion rate sits at just 44%.
- 60%+ of college students experience mental-health challenges.
- 30% of graduate students are unaware of the professional-development offerings available to them.
Hive replaces the scatter with one student-centered, transparent system.
