Placement seasons ran on spreadsheets. TPOs tracked hundreds of students, drives, and offers in Excel files shared over email.
Communication happened on WhatsApp. Recruiters, colleges, and candidates coordinated in group chats with no audit trail.
No one had full visibility. Candidates didn't know their status. Companies didn't know their pipeline. Colleges couldn't report outcomes accurately.
Everything was manual and delayed. Offer letters took days. Eligibility checks were done by hand. Errors were common.
