Prentus has been a game changer for us at devCodeCamp. Previously, we were using another system that just wasn’t built for the coding bootcamp career services functions we were trying to use it for, which resulted in an array of daily headaches. We made do, but when Rod walked us through his creation for the first time… we knew. This platform is intuitive, ascetically pleasing, and malleable! One of the things that really sold us was the chrome extension that pulls job post info easily into Prentus without our students having to manually enter all the information. There are a number of features like this that are well thought out and solve real problems we were encountering on the day to day prior to switching to Prentus. The analytics are also fantastic. It’s easy to track how long each student has been job hunting, whether their ratio of applications to interviews is healthy, and how often they are logging in and hitting their required numbers. This function alone saves us at least 3-5 hours of time a week when it comes to tracking student progress and knowing who needs additional support to keep forward momentum. We also love the ease of sending our talent page link to recruiters and employers so they can easily check out the graduates who are still available for hire. The student profiles are well constructed and include places for both professional and personal information—a key function in making each graduate a memorable person to the reviewer! Rod is responsive, positive and receptive about feedback, and provides incredible customer service in every way possible. Ultimately, we highly recommend Prentus as a career services platform!

TLDR: Prentus has made life easier for Actualize students, grads, and career advisors. Anyone who has worked in a career services department knows that there’s a lot to keep track of when working with job seekers. Between documenting job preferences, storing resumes, tracking progress, and fostering an alumni community, career service professionals typically have a lot of tabs open every day, jumping from platform to platform to get the information they need. Similarly, job seekers are tasked with keeping track of the status of each of the countless applications sent out across a multitude of platforms, sometimes hearing nothing for weeks and then everything all at once, leaving them scrambling to find the original posting. At Actualize, we were no strangers to any of these challenges, so we were excited to meet Rod and explore a new platform offering a one-stop-shop for all of the above. Rod made it a priority to understand our laundry list of needs and “wishes” and has worked diligently to build out targeted solutions that make the job search process more efficient for students and admin. A few months later, I’m happy to report that our experience has exceeded expectations, including extremely responsive customer service and onboarding support. Our small but mighty career advising team is very happy with our new platform and the ways it fits seamlessly into our job search curriculum. Students find it simple and straightforward to track their job applications, interviews, and offers, and they appreciate having a task list to keep them focused on current goals. All of that to say- it’s easy to recommend Prentus to any career services department looking to streamline data tracking, student support, and community management, and to any candidate looking to stay organized and motivated in their job search.

Is 5 stars the most I can give? Rod and the team at Prentus have been incredible to work with. Very quick response time (which is rare in this industry) and clear communication throughout the whole process. Our team at Prime switched over to Prentus because it allows for our grads to have more access and interaction to career materials, as well as serve as a hub for our employer network, which the previous platform we were using didn't offer. Any issues or questions we might have are quickly addressed, and transitioning our team (and hundreds of students) has been basically seamless! Glad to be part of the Prentus network
