Selecting the right career services platform is one of the most important decisions you'll make for your students' success. But with so many options available, how do you know which solution will truly deliver?
The truth is, career services technology should simplify your work—not complicate it. The best platforms reduce administrative burden, boost engagement with students and employers, and provide the data you need to demonstrate real impact.
We've created a comprehensive guide featuring 10 essential questions to ask any vendor before making your decision. This free resource covers critical areas including:
Platform Usability – Because adoption makes or breaks any system. If students won't log in and staff won't embrace it, even the most feature-rich platform fails.
Job Quality & Matching – Learn how to evaluate whether a platform connects students with relevant, high-quality opportunities that match their skills and career goals.
Experiential Learning Management – Discover what features you need to effectively track internships, co-ops, and practicums from posting through placement.
Student Engagement Tools – Find out which capabilities keep students coming back to the platform, from resume builders and mock interview tools to personalized career pathways.
Employer Relationship Management – Understand how the right CRM features can help you strengthen partnerships that expand opportunities for your students.
Analytics & Reporting – Ensure you can demonstrate impact to leadership and accreditors with configurable reporting that aligns with industry standards like NACE.
Data Security & Compliance – Protect sensitive student information with platforms that meet rigorous security certifications and accessibility standards.
Plus, you'll learn what to look for in event management, platform customization, and ongoing vendor support.
With less time spent on administrative tasks, your team can devote more energy to what matters most—shaping student futures. This checklist ensures you ask the right questions to find a partner who will support that mission.
