Know who needs help before drive week.
The placement team's reality
The problem is not student quality
It is the absence of a system. Without batch level visibility, you are making 500 individual decisions with no time to make any of them.
Drive week is in four days.
You have 600 resumes to review. You open three. The rest are a guess.
Your tracking system is a spreadsheet.
Colour-coded columns, manual updates, and no way to spot patterns across the batch.
You find out who wasn't ready after they fail.
The first rejection is your signal. By then, the drive is already over.
Feedback is a bottleneck.
Every student who needs guidance has to wait for a one-on-one. You do not have that time.
No consistent standard across departments.
A 7-point student from one branch gets shortlisted. A 9-pointer from another doesn't. Resume quality is invisible.
The prep window is too short.
By the time you know which students need help, you have two weeks before the first drive.
What changes with a system
From triage after the fact to prevention before it.
The shift is not about working harder. It is about having the right picture four weeks before drive week instead of four hours before.

What you get
How does ResumeGrade help placement teams identify at-risk students early?
ResumeGrade scores your entire batch, flags students below readiness threshold weeks before drive week, and gives advisors a prioritised action list, replacing manual triage in spreadsheets with a structured system.
Batch readiness at a glance
One view across your entire batch: score distribution, at-risk count, and department breakdown. No opening individual files.
At-risk detection before drive week
Students below threshold are flagged automatically. You see who needs intervention weeks before recruiters arrive.
Progress tracking over time
Track score improvement per student across revision cycles. Know who acted on feedback and who didn't.
Bulk upload and analysis
Drop an entire batch at once. Every resume scored, ranked, and categorised in under three minutes.
Student self-serve feedback
Students get line feedback and action lists without waiting for an advisor slot. Your time goes to cases that need you.
Exports for reporting
CSV exports and summary views ready for management reviews, accreditation cycles, and recruiter pitch decks.
Common questions
Questions placement teams ask before they start
Bulk upload takes under three minutes for a batch of 500. Individual uploads process in under 30 seconds. The dashboard updates in real time.
No. It removes the triage burden. Students who need only formatting and keyword fixes self-serve. You focus advisor time on students with structural issues, role confusion, or low engagement.
Any student below 60 on the overall score is flagged. You can adjust this threshold. Students with very low role-fit scores or zero JD matches in the two weeks before a drive are separately highlighted.
Yes. The portal has a notes field per student that persists across sessions. You can log interventions, track follow-up status, and see which students have been reviewed.
We start with a 21-day pilot covering one batch or department. You get access for your team, onboarding support, and a readiness report at the end of the pilot. Broader rollout depends on pilot outcomes.
