ClearLane Career readiness for MBA programs
FOR MBA PROGRAMS AND CAREER SERVICES

Your students describe what they did. Hiring managers decide what they are.

Most MBA students go to market positioned the way they see themselves, not the way a hiring manager reads them. ClearLane shows your advisors that gap for every student, early enough to close it.

THE PLACEMENT PROBLEM

Placement is what the next class buys.

Your career team sees most students once or twice before recruiting season, usually after the resume is written and the internship is chosen. By then the story is set. And the story is usually told from the student's side of the table.

Seconds, not minutes.

Recruiters spend about 7.4 seconds on an initial resume scan (Ladders eye-tracking study). If the role a student is targeting isn't obvious in that window, the rest of the resume doesn't get read.

Internships picked blind.

Students choose internships for the brand or the timing, not for the story a hiring manager will read two years later.

Advisors start from zero.

Every session opens with discovery that could have happened before the student walked in.

BUILT FROM THE SEARCH SIDE

The standard your students will be measured against.

ClearLane is built on the framework retained executive search uses to evaluate candidates: what a hiring manager concludes, what they question, and what makes them move on. Students get that read while there's still time to act on it.

HOW IT WORKS

Every student arrives already read.

STEP 1

The student completes a five-question intake.

Target role, strongest evidence, where they're headed.

STEP 2

The advisor gets a Recruiter Read before the meeting.

How a hiring manager reads the student today, the question to open with, what the session should accomplish, and the one thing to prevent.

STEP 3

The advisor unlocks the right tools, one at a time.

Resume Builder, Gap Analyzer, Internship Fit, LinkedIn Optimizer, Mock Interview. Nothing opens until career services decides it should.

STEP 4

Leadership sees the cohort.

Where every student is in the sequence, what roles the cohort is targeting, and who needs attention. Every view is ready to share with deans and committees.

NOT JUST GRADUATION PREP

Positioning that builds over two years.

FIRST SEMESTER

Set the foundation.

Students define where they're headed and see how they're being read today, while every choice is still ahead of them.

INTERNSHIP SEASON

Choose with the story in mind.

Internship Fit checks each opportunity against the student's positioning, so the internship becomes evidence for the story.

FINAL YEAR

Walk in ready.

Resume, LinkedIn profile, job-description match and mock interviews, all tied to the same positioning, so students walk into recruiting ready.

FOR ALUMNI

Career support your graduates will actually use.

Most alumni career support is a job board and a webinar. Neither one tells a graduate how they're being read in a search. ClearLane gives alumni the same read your students get, at the moment they need it most.

NO ADVISOR REQUIRED

Scales to your whole alumni base.

Alumni get their read directly, so the program scales to your entire alumni base without adding staff.

EVERY STAGE OF A CAREER

First job, promotion, or pivot.

A first job change, a promotion, a career pivot. The same intake, the same read, the same tools, built for wherever the graduate is now.

A BENEFIT FROM THE SCHOOL

Keeps graduates connected.

Offered through career services or advancement, it keeps graduates connected to the school when they're looking for their next move.

YOUR PROGRAM, YOUR DATA

Built for how universities handle student information.

Your team stays in control

  • Advisors decide which tools each student can use, and when.
  • Choose advised mode (advisors review each read first) or direct mode (students see their read immediately).
  • Access is enforced in the database itself and tested: students see only their own records, advisors see only their own institution's.

What ClearLane keeps

  • Student answers and tool progress, used only to run the program for your school.
  • Never shared outside your school, never used to train AI, never added to any talent database.
  • Deleted 90 days after the student graduates.
  • Resumes never leave the student's device.

WHO BUILT THIS
Ido Singer, Founder of ClearLane

Ido Singer, Founder

Former college coach · Retained executive search

I spent more than a decade in college basketball as an assistant and head coach, working with student-athletes, graduate students among them, on the academic side as much as on the court. Year after year I watched talented students get ready to leave for industry without knowing how their experience would be read.

Then I moved into retained executive search and sat on the other side of the table. I saw how candidates are actually read, including recent MBA graduates and professionals heading into MBA programs, and how wide the gap is between what someone learned in a classroom or an internship and what the market concludes from it.

ClearLane closes that gap while students still have time to act on it.
