InStage

InStage is an AI-powered student readiness platform that helps colleges and universities scale career preparation by giving students access to AI-simulated interviews, resume analysis, and guided reflection exercises. The platform tracks student progress, surfaces readiness data to advisors, and supports retention goals by keeping students engaged with structured career development activities.

Higher education institutions use InStage to extend their career services capacity without proportionally increasing advisor headcount. A university with 10,000 students and a small career center can use InStage to ensure every student gets interview practice and resume feedback at their own pace—not just the ones who book appointments.

InStage is a B2B platform sold to institutions, not directly to students. Individual students can't sign up independently; access comes through their school. The quality of AI-simulated interviews is strong for common roles and industries but may not replicate niche or highly technical interview formats well. Integration with existing student information systems varies, and implementation timelines depend on the institution's technical infrastructure.
