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.
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.
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.
Students choose internships for the brand or the timing, not for the story a hiring manager will read two years later.
Every session opens with discovery that could have happened before the student walked in.
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.
Professionals from the firms your students are targeting have used ClearLane's tools.
Target role, strongest evidence, where they're headed.
How a hiring manager reads the student today, the question to open with, what the session should accomplish, and the one thing to prevent.
Resume Builder, Gap Analyzer, Internship Fit, LinkedIn Optimizer, Mock Interview. Nothing opens until career services decides it should.
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.
Students define where they're headed and see how they're being read today, while every choice is still ahead of them.
Internship Fit checks each opportunity against the student's positioning, so the internship becomes evidence for the story.
Resume, LinkedIn profile, job-description match and mock interviews, all tied to the same positioning, so students walk into recruiting ready.
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.
Alumni get their read directly, so the program scales to your entire alumni base without adding staff.
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.
Offered through career services or advancement, it keeps graduates connected to the school when they're looking for their next move.

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.
