Track student job search activity, measure placement outcomes, and generate the engagement dashboards that funders, accreditors, and boards actually need.
The modern alternative to Handshake, Symplicity, and 12twenty — built for workforce development, not just job postings.
Free for students • No per-seat fees • Proven with 1,000+ active job seekers
A purpose-built platform that gives career services teams real visibility — and gives students the tools to get hired.
Each student gets a personalized dashboard that mirrors a sales CRM — tracking active applications, total contacts, offers, and network size. Coaches get instant visibility into who's active and who needs intervention.


Students track every job from research to offer in a visual kanban board. Each card shows company temperature (Hot/Warm/Cold), contact count, and outreach touchpoints — giving advisors an at-a-glance view of each student's activity.
Students log every contact and outreach activity — from first LinkedIn message to champion relationship. Advisors can see pipeline funnel health, 30-day performance trends, and who's building the network density that leads to offers.


The Community Health Overview gives advisors an instant snapshot of every student's status — Stuck, Needs Attention, Active, Thriving, or Ramping. Each student card shows job pipeline, contact funnel, and last activity date so coaches know exactly where to focus their time.
The Impact Dashboard aggregates placement outcomes across all cohorts — total placed, average days to placement, starting salary data, and top hiring companies. Generate the reports that accreditors, grant agencies, and boards require — automatically.


Every student on the platform gets access to the AI Resume Builder, LinkedIn Optimizer, Transferable Skills Translator, and an embedded AI Career Coach — at no additional cost. No extra subscriptions, no paywalls for students.
Universities and workforce boards are under pressure to prove the ROI of career services. Legacy platforms weren't built for this. MissionXP was.
Traditional career platforms tell you how many students clicked 'apply.' MissionXP shows you exactly where every student is in their job search — activities logged, contacts made, interviews reached, offers received.
No more end-of-semester surveys. See which students are actively networking, which are stuck, and where your coaching interventions will have the highest impact — all in real time.
Track every student's job search pipeline from first contact to final offer. Segment by cohort, program, graduation year, or any custom attribute your team needs.
Generate the placement rate reports, pipeline velocity metrics, and network engagement dashboards that accreditors, boards, and grant agencies actually want to see.
Whether you serve 50 students or 50,000, MissionXP scales to your mission.
Track student engagement from freshman year through first job. Prove placement outcomes to accreditors and advisory boards.
Manage participant case loads, track training-to-employment pipelines, and report outcomes to funders with precision.
