2012

A Modest Start

A custom research shop on Princeton's campus
IRC was founded in 2012 by three Princeton sophomores. The idea, in the beginning, was to offer high quality research - to any company, on any topic - for a fraction of the cost of a traditional firm. Over the next three years, the IRC founders conducted hundreds of hours of research and data analysis with a few dozen initial clients.
2015

Membership Launch

A full commitment to young talent research
After graduating, IRC's founders focused their efforts on the university recruiting and entry-level talent space. In the winter of 2015-16, the Talent Wars Membership was launched, with the express purpose of advising the nation’s top companies on their entry-level talent strategies.
2018

A National Footprint

A growing membership of top companies
Each year, IRC interviews and surveys thousands of students from top schools nationwide. To date, IRC has gathered data from more than 150 schools in the United States, has crafted more than 100 studies and research briefs on pressing issues, and serves some of the world’s most influential companies.
