Alumni Outcome Tracking
Chasing alumni for survey responses by hand is expensive and unreliable. Prentus runs an automatic monthly LinkedIn scan, backed by dozens of third-party sources that verify employment, with AI reviewing the results and surfacing legitimate outcomes for your staff to confirm. Built-in first-destination surveys sent by email and text collect the rest automatically, giving you accurate, full data for accreditation and institutional effectiveness reporting.
Best way to track alumni employment outcomes
The best way to track alumni employment outcomes is to combine automatic verification with structured follow-up instead of relying on surveys alone. Prentus runs an automatic monthly LinkedIn scan across your alumni, cross-checks the results against dozens of other third-party sources that verify employment, and has AI review every match so your staff only confirms outcomes that are already flagged as legitimate. Customizable email and SMS surveys then collect the follow-up data those sources cannot find, so first-destination and longitudinal reporting build automatically instead of depending on a single response wave.
