1,500:1
The student-to-advisor ratio
Thousands of students, a handful of advisors. The ones who book get help. Everyone else leaves campus with whatever they drafted alone.
FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
Give Every Student a Career Center Appointment. Even When You Can't.
Scale career center expertise to every student, including the ones who never book a session. Give your students access to expert-level career guidance, exploration resources, and personalized interview guidance 24/7.
The Challenge
Career Center staff can't meet with every student.
Advisors are booked. Most students never make an appointment. They still have to send a resume this week, and ChatGPT is what they open at midnight.
60%
Students who never book
Most students never access career services. They still apply, still interview, and employers still judge the school by the resume the center never saw.
100%
Students landed interviews
In an early pilot with an Illinois-based community college, every student who used RS Works landed an interview, compared with four of seven who used a competing tool. A small sample, but a promising early signal.

Questions from career centers
What career-services leaders ask before they give students access
How does this help a career center that cannot see every student?
Students get an appointment-quality resume, cover letter, and interview practice at midnight, not only when an advisor has a slot. Advisors still take the students who need a meeting. Everyone else is not left with ChatGPT.
Is this only for four-year career centers?
No. Community colleges, continuing education, and campus programs that serve adult learners use the same tools. An early Illinois community-college pilot saw every student who used RS Works land an interview, compared with four of seven on a competing tool. Small sample, useful signal.
How is this different from Handshake or a ChatGPT prompt?
Handshake is a jobs marketplace. ChatGPT is a general model with no workforce methodology and a PII problem if students paste a resume into it. RS Works is the document and coaching layer your center can stand behind, trained on 10,000+ real resumes, with staff visibility.
How fast can students get access?
Most campuses are live in one to two weeks, including staff orientation and student accounts. We do not require a semester-long IT project to start.
How is it priced for a campus?
We quote by seats and the student population you want to cover. Talk to us. There is no public checkout.
Ready to Help More Jobseekers Succeed?
Every resume we touch is a person's shot at a better life. We have proven it 50,000 times, and the latest signal is small but promising: in an early Project RISE pilot at Heartland, every student who used an RS Works resume landed an interview.
