Frequently Asked Questions
How is Prentus different from Jobscan?
Jobscan is a consumer tool focused on keyword matching between resumes and job descriptions. Prentus is a comprehensive institutional platform that includes AI resume building, career coaching, mock interviews, job search tools, and outcome tracking, all managed through an advisor dashboard.
Does Prentus check ATS keyword matching like Jobscan?
Yes. The Prentus AI Resume Builder and Analyzer include ATS optimization and keyword analysis. But Prentus goes beyond keyword matching to provide comprehensive career preparation that addresses why students struggle in job searches, not just resume formatting.
Why should institutions use Prentus instead of recommending Jobscan?
An institutional platform gives you visibility into student career preparation, engagement analytics, and outcome tracking. Recommending consumer tools means you have no data on who is using what, no ability to intervene, and no way to demonstrate career services impact.
Does Prentus provide resume building or just optimization?
Prentus does both. The AI Resume Builder creates resumes from scratch using LinkedIn data and student input. The AI Resume Analyzer scores and provides feedback on existing resumes. Together, they cover the full spectrum of resume needs.
How does institutional licensing compare?
Jobscan charges per student or per use. Prentus provides institutional licensing that covers all students with unlimited usage of all career tools. This is typically more cost-effective and ensures every student has access.
