# Search Fund Fellows

Hire search interns from a dedicated ETA job board.

The talent side of the ecosystem: a job board dedicated to buy-side search internships, where active searchers and ETA investors post sourcing, modeling, and diligence roles and hire student interns through a purpose-built applicant tracker at no cost to the searcher.

## At a Glance

If outreach volume is the constraint, an intern from here is the highest-leverage hire a search budget can make.

## What It Costs

Free for searchers to post roles and manage applicants; free for students to apply.

## Best For

[Searchers](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/searcher) who want sourcing and analysis leverage without payroll weight, and students who want into ETA before anyone tells them it exists

## Pros and Cons

- Pro: The only board where every role is a real [buy-side](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/buy-side-versus-sell-side) search seat
- Pro: Free on both sides removes the excuse on either
- Pro: Intern sourcing hours are the cheapest pipeline capacity a search can add
- Con: Interns need managing, and a solo searcher's time is the scarcest input
- Con: Student availability follows the academic calendar, not your deal flow
- Con: A young platform's candidate depth varies by season

## What Searchers Say

Fills the gap the ecosystem talks about constantly: undergraduates never hear of ETA, and searchers need cheap sourcing hands; both sides recommend it for exactly that trade.
