Summary
Most career centers define "good" based on their own internal expertise. But when 88% of employers admit their own hiring systems exclude qualified candidates, what your team thinks isn't enough.
This session explores why top-performing career institutions anchor their standards to employer and labor market data—not just advisor judgment.
We'll examine we'll examine why advisor-defined scoring breaks at scale, how to systematize ATS and hiring signals into your workflows, and how to build consistent standards across your team.
Whether you lead a career center or coach students directly, you'll leave with a new vision for closing the gap between how your team prepares students and how employers actually evaluate them.
Following this program, you will be able to:
- Identify why advisor-defined resume standards produce inconsistent student outcomes at scale—and how to diagnose where your team's baseline diverges from employer expectations.
- Distinguish between internal consensus and employer alignment, and apply a "minimum viable consistency" framework to standardize career readiness across departments.
- Evaluate how ATS filtering, job description dynamics, and recruiter behavior shape student outcomes—then map those signals into actionable workflow changes for your team.
