Founding Partner Pilot

One term, and one report ready for your dean.

A flat-fee pilot, priced to fit within standard departmental purchasing limits. No per-student fees.

What your career center gets

  • Cairn Careers for one cohort of undergraduates you choose, for one academic term. Cohorts of 100 students or more produce the most useful report, because figures based on fewer than five students are suppressed to protect privacy.
  • Staff accounts for your team
  • An end-of-term cohort report built to forward to your dean
  • The underlying aggregate data for your institutional research office
  • Student invitation messages, written for you

Our guarantee

If we do not deliver your cohort report by the date in your pilot agreement, we refund the full pilot fee within 30 days. You do not need to ask.

Whether you continue after the pilot is your decision. It never affects the guarantee, and it never triggers a refund.

Your pilot fee counts toward year one

If you sign an annual license by the conversion date in your pilot agreement, the full pilot fee is credited toward your first-year license. Your first-year price is written into your pilot agreement, so you know it before you start.

Founding partners

Our first three partner institutions receive founding-partner pricing on their first-year license.

How the numbers are made

  • Scores draw on 18,796 tasks1 across 1,016 occupations2 from the U.S. Department of Labor's O*NET (Occupational Information Network) database.
  • Every score is computed by fixed rules and traces back to its source data. No language model produces any number a student or director sees.

Student privacy

Student data is handled under contract with your institution, in line with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

How to pay

The pilot can be paid by purchase order or, where your institution's policies allow, by purchasing card.
