Know which students need you before they ask.
The advisor's reality
You can't help everyone. The problem is not knowing who.
Without a system, you respond to who shows up. The students who need you most are often the ones least likely to book a slot.
You mentor 40 students. You have time for 4.
Every student thinks their resume is fine. You have no way to know which ones are right without reading all 40.
Feedback slots fill up in drive season.
The students who need you most wait the longest. The ones who book first are often already prepared.
No record of who you've reviewed.
You remember the last three conversations. The ones from six weeks ago are gone. You have no way to track improvement.
You find out about struggling students too late.
A student fails their first two drives. You had no signal before that. There was no system to give you one.
Feedback is repetitive.
You tell the same 12 students the same 5 things every season. Formatting issues. Missing keywords. Weak summary. Same conversation, again.
No visibility into what students actually submit.
You give advice in a meeting. You have no idea what they changed, or whether they uploaded anything at all.
What changes with a system
From reacting to who shows up to knowing who to find.
The students who most need guidance are least likely to ask for it. A system that surfaces them changes what advising looks like entirely.

What you get
How does ResumeGrade help faculty advisors support students before placements?
ResumeGrade gives advisors a scoped view of their assigned students, surfaces who needs attention, and logs every intervention, so you stop reacting and start prioritising.
Your students, your view
See only the students assigned to your department or batch. No noise from the rest of the institution. Every student you are responsible for, in one place.
Who needs you today
At-risk students are surfaced automatically based on score, engagement, and time to next drive. You open the portal and know immediately who to contact.
Score history per student
Track how each student has improved across revision cycles. Know who acted on feedback and who uploaded the same resume three times.
Intervention log
Add notes after every meeting. Log what was discussed, what was agreed, and what to follow up on. Never lose track of where a student stands.
Self-serve feedback for common fixes
Students with formatting and keyword issues get AI feedback without booking a slot. Your time goes to structural problems, role confusion, and students who are not engaging at all.
Resume and scan history
See every version a student has uploaded, with a score for each. Know exactly what they submitted before they walk into your office.
Common questions
Questions advisors ask before they start
Yes. The portal has department and batch level access control. Your placement head assigns your scope when they set up your account. You see exactly the students you are responsible for.
No. The system scores every resume automatically. You review the flagged students first. For students with simple formatting or keyword issues, the AI feedback handles it without needing you at all.
Any student below 60 on the overall score is flagged. Students who have not uploaded a resume in the two weeks before a drive are separately highlighted. You can filter by score, department, or engagement.
Yes. Every student profile has an intervention log. You can record what was discussed, mark follow-ups, and track whether a student acted on your advice.
The placement officer sees the whole institution. As an advisor, your view is scoped to your students. The same data, filtered to what is relevant to you. You get the micro view, they get the macro view.
