CareerSet for Educational Institutions

Implementation is effortless and designed to require no resources from your careers or IT teams.



1. Implementation

  • Approvals

    CareerSet is fully GDPR compliant and registered with the UK’s data protection authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). We’re here to make your approval process as smooth as possible, offering full support whenever you need it. Just send over any relevant forms or questionnaires, and we’ll take care of everything for a quick turnaround.
  • Setup

    For every institution we partner with, we launch a dedicated login portal accessible via a unique link (e.g. careerset.com/institution). The page features your institution’s logo, branding, and tailored student guidance.
  • Authentication

    CareerSet uses secure, passwordless authentication by default. Students log in with their academic email address to receive a one-time access link. Clicking the link grants access for a single session and creates a user account on first login. We also support Single Sign-On (SSO) if preferred.
    Why Passwordless Authentication?
    1) No IT resources are required;
    2) Enhanced security as no passwords are stored;
    3) Students only log in a few times a year when improving their application documents.

2. Go-live

  • Subscription

    Once you are live, all you need to think about is how to promote your institution’s portal to your students. We’ll support you with best practices and promotional materials. Students simply accept our terms of use and privacy policy, and get started by reviewing their CV, cover letter, or LinkedIn profile.
  • Customisation

    To ensure our feedback solutions align with you standards of advice, we can adjust resources, scoring, and feedback text. These elements can be reviewed and updated at any point during the subscription period, as part of our regular business review meetings.
    Resources: CV templates can be replaced with your own templates and/or other CV-related resources made available to students via CareerSet.

    Scoring: The strictness of scoring and the weight of individual scoring criteria in the overall CV score can be adjusted based on institution feedback.

    Language: Adjustments to the feedback text, as long as this is consistent with general CV writing best practices and in line with employer standards.
  • Integration (optional)

    CareerSet integrates with leading career centre management systems such as CareerHub and TargetConnect. Students can access CareerSet directly through these platforms. Additionally, all student activity data is automatically sent back to the system, keeping everything in one place and enabling workflows or pathways to be configured seamlessly.
