Mentors
Mentor & Endorsement Agreement
Endorsements are the strongest human signal on a Seer profile. These terms apply to every professor, manager, and mentor who writes one or scores a student project.

01Who can endorse
You must have directly taught, supervised, or worked with the student on the work you are describing. Endorsements bought, traded, exchanged, or written by family members are not permitted.
02What you are attesting
- →The endorsement reflects your honest, first-hand assessment.
- →You are writing as an individual, not on behalf of your institution or employer, unless you are authorized to do so.
- →Any project score you give is based on work you actually reviewed.
03Confidentiality and student records
Do not include protected student record information — grades from a specific course, disciplinary history, disability or accommodation details, or anything covered by FERPA or your institution's policy — without the student's written consent. Keep endorsements to skills, work quality, and professional conduct.
04Publication and license
Your endorsement, name, and title will be displayed on the student's profile and visible to approved employers. You grant Seer a non-exclusive license to display it for that purpose. You may withdraw an endorsement at any time by emailing team@getseer.ai; withdrawal removes it going forward.
05Conflicts and compensation
Disclose any financial interest in the student's placement. Seer does not pay for endorsements, and mentors may not accept payment from students or employers in exchange for writing one.
06Enforcement
Endorsements that are false, purchased, or written without a real working relationship are removed, and the mentor account may be suspended. Students who solicit fraudulent endorsements are subject to our Community Guidelines.
