Office hours that finally scale.

Three counselors. Eleven thousand students. The mock-interview waitlist was weeks long. Miclea gave every student on-demand practice — so the career center's team could focus on the conversations that need a human.

The challenge

A waitlist no team could clear.

The career center wanted every student to get a mock interview before recruiting season — but with three counselors and thousands of students, demand always outran capacity. The students who needed help most often gave up before reaching the top of the waitlist.

Counselors were stretched thin running repetitive first-pass mocks instead of higher-touch coaching.

How Miclea helped

A first rep for everyone, anytime.

Miclea became the career center's always-on practice layer. Students ran unlimited mocks whenever they wanted, and counselors used the results to spend their limited hours where it mattered.

  • Students arrive at counselor appointments already warmed up, so sessions go deeper.
  • Center-wide analytics reveal which majors and cohorts need targeted outreach.
  • Branded practice links drop straight into existing career portals and class workshops.

The outcome

More students reached, better conversations.

The waitlist disappeared. The team coached four times as many students per term and shifted their human hours toward negotiation strategy, niche industries, and students facing the toughest searches.
