Challenge

Riverstone's career center supported 420 graduating seniors with only six mentors. Students practiced sporadically, feedback arrived late, and offers lagged behind peer institutions.

Approach

  • Ran Nova baseline interviews for every senior to benchmark story depth and follow-up agility.
  • Grouped students into themed accountability pods powered by Community matching and weekly facilitator scripts.
  • Configured Progress Radar alerts so mentors jumped in when competency scores crossed target thresholds.
  • Shared readiness scorecards with hiring partners ahead of showcase events to highlight momentum.

Outcomes

  • Offer rate lifted 31% within a single semester while mentor workload dropped by nearly half.
  • Students logged 12,600 mock interviews without requiring additional staff hours.
  • 95% of graduates reported feeling confident walking into panel interviews.
