Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between Prentus and Suitable?
Suitable tracks student participation in experiential learning and campus career activities. Prentus actively prepares students with AI career advising, voice-based mock interviews, resume building, and job search support. Suitable measures the inputs to career readiness. Prentus delivers those inputs and measures the employment outcomes.
Does Suitable have AI career coaching?
No. Suitable focuses on tracking student engagement with career-related activities. It does not provide a 24/7 AI Career Advisor, voice-based mock interview practice, or AI resume and cover letter generation. Prentus is built around the AI Career Advisor as the core student experience.
Which platform better measures career readiness outcomes?
Prentus, because it tracks the actual employment outcome via LinkedIn verification. Suitable tracks participation and milestone completion as leading indicators of readiness. Both signals matter, but for NACE first-destination reporting, gainful employment under OBBBA, and accreditation, the employment outcome is what gets audited.
Can we use both Suitable and Prentus?
Yes. Some institutions run Suitable for broader experiential-learning engagement tracking across student affairs and Prentus for career services specifically. The two integrate via SIS data sharing. Most institutions evaluating both find Prentus's career-focused engagement tracking sufficient without a separate platform.
How does student engagement compare?
Prentus drives higher engagement because students receive tangible output from each interaction — a polished resume, interview feedback, drafted cover letters, job applications. Active tools generate more consistent usage than tracking apps. Institutions using Prentus see 3x engagement vs. traditional career services and 75% day-30 retention vs. ~20% industry average for engagement platforms.
Is Suitable a good fit for institutions focused on career readiness competencies?
Suitable is built around the NACE career readiness competencies framework. Prentus also maps to the NACE eight competencies but additionally develops them through AI coaching, mock interviews, and resume work. For institutions that want the competency tracking AND the active development, Prentus covers both.
