The Problem
Your outcomes data is always behind. And OBA is coming.
Career services teams are caught between two bad options: surveys that arrive months too late, or manual LinkedIn reviews that eat up weeks of advisor time. Either way, you are always looking in the rearview mirror — and leadership wants to know what is happening now.
Prospective students want proof. Can your institution show them what percentage of graduates get hired? Can you prove that career services drives real outcomes? If you cannot, they go somewhere that can. Your outcome data is not just a compliance requirement — it is your best enrollment argument.
On top of that, OBA (Outcome-Based Accountability) requirements are approaching. If your institution is not tracking outcomes in real time, you risk losing funding and falling behind on compliance before you know there is a problem. You have to fix this.
How It Works
Real-time outcomes from data you already have
Prentus captures placement data automatically from student job searches and LinkedIn — no extra surveys, no manual reviews.
Students track applications in the Job Tracker
Students log job applications, interviews, and offers as they search. When an offer is accepted, placement details are captured automatically — employer, title, start date, and salary — at the moment of highest motivation.
LinkedIn is scanned every month — automatically
Prentus scans all your job seekers' LinkedIn profiles on the 1st of every month, detecting new roles, employer changes, and promotions. Run additional cohort scans before reporting deadlines. No manual reviews.
Real-time dashboards. NACE reports on demand.
Confirmed outcomes appear in dashboards immediately. Send NACE-compliant surveys, export CSV reports for accrediting bodies, or push data to your warehouse via API. OBA-ready data available today — not two years from now.

Comparison
The old way vs. the Prentus way
| Without Prentus |  With Prentus | |
|---|---|---|
| Manual LinkedIn review | Staff spend hours checking profiles one by one — thousands of students, one at a time. | Automatic scans review every profile in minutes. Advisors confirm flagged outcomes, not hunt for them. |
| Post-graduation surveys | Surveys sent months later with 30% response rates. Data arrives too late to act on. | Placement details captured at offer acceptance. First-party data beats survey estimates. |
| Quarterly reporting | Weeks of manual work before accreditation deadlines. Scrambling to compile numbers. | Real-time dashboards update as outcomes are confirmed. Reports ready on demand. |
| Visibility into placement rates | No idea what percentage of graduates are employed until the annual report. | Placement rates visible to the team every week. Spot trends and intervene early. |
| Demonstrating ROI to leadership | Career services struggles to show concrete outcomes. Funding conversations are difficult. | Dashboards and reports make the team's impact visible. OBA data tells your story for you. |
The most interconnected, well-integrated tools that do the hard work but keep our advising team at the center.

FAQ
Common questions about Prentus for career services teams
How does Prentus help career services teams track student outcomes?
Prentus captures outcome data automatically from three sources: first-party job search data (when students accept an offer in the Job Tracker), automatic monthly LinkedIn scans that detect new roles and promotions, and NACE-compliant surveys sent directly through the platform. Career services teams get real-time dashboards instead of waiting months for survey results.
How do automatic LinkedIn scans work?
Prentus scans all your job seekers' LinkedIn profiles every month automatically, detecting new roles, employer changes, and promotions. You can also run on-demand scans targeting specific cohorts before reporting deadlines. Detected outcomes appear in a review tab for your team to confirm before they are counted. Schools save up to 25 hours per advisor per month on manual profile reviews.
What survey formats does Prentus support?
Prentus includes NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers), MBA CSEA (MBA Career Services and Employer Alliance), and custom survey templates. You can run surveys directly through the platform and export results in standard formats for accrediting bodies. All survey data flows into your real-time dashboards automatically.
What is OBA and how does Prentus help with compliance?
OBA (Outcome-Based Accountability) requires institutions to demonstrate that enrolled students achieve meaningful outcomes. Prentus gives career services teams the real-time data needed to prove value before accreditation deadlines — not two years after graduation. Export data as CSV for accrediting bodies or connect via API to your data warehouse.
How does Prentus track outcomes without relying on student surveys?
Most platforms depend entirely on post-graduation surveys, which typically achieve 30% response rates months after students have moved on. Prentus captures first-party data when students track their own applications — outcome details are captured at the moment an offer is accepted, when motivation is highest. LinkedIn scans provide a second verification layer for outcomes that students don't self-report.
Can Prentus integrate with our existing career services tools?
Yes. Prentus connects to data warehouses via API, exports to CSV for accrediting bodies, and integrates with LinkedIn for automatic profile scanning. It is designed to complement your existing CRM, student information system, and accreditation reporting workflows — giving your career services team a unified outcome tracking layer on top of your existing infrastructure.
