Placement Management Platform
Replace placement Excel sheets with a campus-to-corporate pipeline.
A maturity ladder for placement operations. Start by running placements. Engage the employer ecosystem. Understand and optimize outcomes with predictive intelligence. Each tier includes everything in the previous one — and scales with your student population and campus footprint.
WHY THIS EXISTS
The problem. The solution. The timing.
Why
Placement season is chaos. Companies email JNF/JAF forms, placement coordinators forward to students, students reply, officers forward back. Eligibility is checked manually in Excel. Offers are tracked in shared Google Sheets. NIRF reports take weeks to compile. Placements replaces this chaos with one system where employers post jobs, students apply, eligibility is automated, and reports generate with one click. The 3-tier ladder lets you start small and grow as your placement operation matures — you never pay for features you don't use.
When you need this
Use Start for core placement operations up to 500 students on one campus. Use Engage when you need employer self-service, company CRM and funnel analytics. Use Intelligence when you need predictive scoring, drive matching, NIRF placement reporting and advanced outcome analysis.
How it works
Choose the tier by workflow needs, student capacity and campus count. Institutions exceeding 5,000 students or five campuses require a separately scoped proposal; no public Placement Institutional package is offered.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for your role.
Different roles see different pain. ForgeCircle speaks to each one.
TPO / Placement Coordinator
Excel chaos, eligibility errors, lost offers, late reports for NIRF. Companies email JNF forms, you forward to students, they reply, you forward back.
Replace your placement Excel sheets with a placement engine. One system for companies, drives, eligibility, applications, offers, and reports.
Principal / Director
No real-time visibility into placement pipeline or recruiter relationships. NIRF reports take weeks to compile.
See your placement pipeline in real time, with accreditation-ready reports generated in one click.
Employer / Recruiter
No self-service portal. Have to email placement coordinator for everything. Cannot see applicant status.
Self-service employer portal — post jobs, view applicants, schedule interviews, with admin approval workflow.
THE TIERS
The maturity ladder.
Each tier includes everything in the previous one. The student and campus caps create natural upgrade triggers.
Placement Start
Run placements
Start is the foundational placement system. Institutions dealing with Excel, email, manual eligibility, lost offers, and late reports — this is where they start. The wedge is the drive + eligibility automation. The "aha moment" is seeing eligibility rules auto-filter students instead of manual Excel checks.
You need the employer self-service portal, ATS/CRM, funnel analytics, or referrals → upgrade to Engage.
Placement Engage
Run the placement ecosystem
Engage turns your placement operation from a manual process into an ecosystem. Employers get self-service portal access. You get funnel analytics to see where students drop off. Referrals and job leads expand your opportunity pipeline. Multi-campus support lets you manage placements across up to 3 campuses.
You need predictive placement scoring, profile-based drive matching, NIRF reporting, or advanced analytics → upgrade to Intelligence.
Placement Intelligence
Understand and optimize placement outcomes
Intelligence is the most strategically important Placement tier. This is where data drives decisions. Predictive scoring identifies at-risk students before placement season. Profile-based matching connects students to the right drives automatically. NIRF placement reporting generates reports in NIRF-required format in one click. Advanced outcome reporting gives you department/batch/company-wise insights. Multi-campus support scales to 5 campuses.
You exceed 5,000 students or five campuses → request a separately scoped proposal.
ADD-ONS
Available add-ons.
Each tier delivers its promise without add-ons. Add-ons supplement, not replace, tier upgrades.

Accreditation & Outcomes

COMMON CONCERNS
You probably have questions.
Here are the concerns we hear most often — and how we address them.
We already have a placement system.
Can it generate NIRF reports in one click? Does it have an employer self-service portal? Does it auto-check eligibility for hundreds of students in seconds? If any answer is no, there is a gap we can fill.
Our placement process is unique. A tool won't match it.
ForgeCircle is configured around your workflow — batch eligibility, company-wise drives, one-student-one-offer rule. We shadow your placement process and configure the system to match, not the other way around.
Employers won't use a portal.
Employers prefer self-service. They can post jobs, view applicants, and schedule interviews without waiting for email responses. The admin approval workflow ensures you retain control.
We don't need alumni features.
Placements is standalone. You do not need Alumni. But when you are ready, the upgrade path to Campus adds alumni mentorship and referrals — which connects your placed students back to your alumni network.
