Finding a job isn't just about having a resume—it's about knowing whether your resume is actually ready for the companies you're targeting. Most students rely on generic resume templates or vague feedback, making it difficult to identify what truly needs improvement.

PlaceWise is an AI-powered platform that analyzes student resumes and provides personalized placement-readiness insights. Instead of simply checking formatting or ATS compatibility, it evaluates your profile holistically, identifies missing skills, highlights weak sections, and generates actionable recommendations tailored to your career goals.

To deliver contextual and accurate feedback, PlaceWise leverages a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline built with ChromaDB and Sentence Transformers, enabling the AI to retrieve relevant information before generating recommendations through Groq LLMs. This produces feedback that is more personalized and grounded than generic AI responses.

Why I Built PlaceWise

As placement season approaches, many students struggle to understand where they stand and how to improve their resumes. Existing tools often provide generic suggestions that aren't tailored to campus recruitment.

PlaceWise was built to bridge that gap by delivering intelligent, personalized feedback that helps students strengthen their resumes, close skill gaps, and prepare with greater confidence for internships and campus placements.
