Getting Started
❓ What is BloomingPros.ai
BloomingPros.ai is an AI-powered employability platform that connects students, colleges, mentors and companies through skills, evidence, and opportunity. We help learners build real capabilities, enable colleges to deliver stronger outcomes, and support companies in hiring with confidence.

We support four key user types:

Companies - Discover verified talent with portfolios, post opportunities, and hire with confidence.

About the PoC Program
❓ What is the PoC (Proof of Concept) program
Our PoC is a free 6-month partnership program (January - June 2026) where we work together with early users to test, refine, and improve the platform.

We're focused on building the right product. Our goal during the PoC is learning and improvement, not revenue.

- Can live with few bugs here and there
- Want to be part of building something meaningful
- Can spare 10-15 minutes occasionally for surveys/feedback
- Are excited about reimagining employability
You don't need to be tech-savvy or super active. Even logging in once a week and sharing your thoughts helps us tremendously.
❓ How long is the commitment
There's no formal commitment. You can:
- Join today, try it for a week, and leave if it's not for you
- Use it actively or passively - your choice
- Provide as much or as little feedback as you want
- Cancel your account anytime
That said, the more engaged you are, the more value you'll get and the more we can tailor the platform to your needs.

We're starting with a limited group to ensure quality interactions and feedback. Our goal is to have:
- 50-100 colleges/institutions
- 5000+ students
- 20-50 companies
This allows us to provide personalized attention while testing the platform at scale.
For Students
❓ What can I do as a student on BloomingPros.ai
As a student, you can:
Build Skills:
- Complete guided skill development challenges
- Take assessments to understand your strengths and gaps
- Get personalized learning recommendations
Create Portfolios:
- Showcase projects, assignments, and real work
- Add descriptions, images, and links

- Get matched with companies based on your portfolio
Track Readiness:
- Understand where you stand
- See what skills employers are looking for
- Get insights on areas to improve
❓ I'm a first-year student. Is this relevant for me
Absolutely! In fact, starting early is one of the best things you can do.
If your college is on BloomingPros.ai, you can use it to:
- Build your portfolio from day one
- Document projects from your coursework
- Understand what skills you'll need for your dream job
- Get a head start on your peers
By the time you're in your final year, you'll have a rich portfolio that makes you stand out to employers.
Access is provided through partner colleges, so check if your institution is already on BloomingPros.ai or ask your placement/Training & Placement Cell about it.
❓ I'm about to graduate. Is it too late
Not at all! You can:
- Quickly create a portfolio with your existing projects
- Showcase your final year project, internships, and coursework
- Start applying to opportunities immediately
- Stand out from other graduates with a verified portfolio
Students may be able to create impactful portfolios in just 2-3 hours by documenting work they've already completed.
❓ What if I don't have any projects to showcase
No problem! You can:
- Start with assignments from your coursework
- Complete challenges provided on the platform
- Participate in college events/competitions and document them
- Create simple projects (coding exercises, design mockups, written analyses)
- Even personal learning projects count
Remember: everyone starts somewhere. A portfolio with 2-3 small projects is better than no portfolio at all.
❓ Will this help me get a job
While we can't guarantee jobs, BloomingPros.ai significantly improves your chances by:
- Making your skills visible to hiring companies
- Demonstrating your capabilities through portfolios
- Matching you with relevant opportunities
- Teaching you what employers actually value
During the PoC, companies on our platform are actively looking for talent. The more complete your portfolio, the higher your chances of being noticed.
❓ Is this only for technical/engineering students
For our current pilot, BloomingPros.ai is primarily focused on engineering and technology students and roles. You’ll get the most value if you are working on technical projects, coding, or engineering-focused work
Over time, the core idea of BloomingPros.ai is designed to work for students from ALL backgrounds, because portfolios and proof of work matter in every field, not just engineering. For example:
- Engineering - Code projects, designs, technical documentation
- Business/Management - Case studies, analyses, presentations
- Design - Creative portfolios, UI/UX work, graphics
- Liberal Arts - Writing samples, research papers, projects
- Commerce - Financial analyses, business plans, reports
- Any field - Demonstrate your unique skills and work
In every discipline, skills and evidence matter more than just your degree.
For Colleges
❓ What can colleges/institutions do on BloomingPros.ai
As a college or institution, you can:
Track Student Readiness:
- View dashboards showing student skill levels
- Identify which students are placement-ready
- See portfolio completion rates across batches
Manage Placements:
- Connect with hiring companies
- Facilitate campus recruitment
- Track placement outcomes
Support Students:
- Identify students who need additional help
- See which skills are lacking across your student base
- Guide interventions and training programs
Demonstrate Outcomes:
- Generate reports for regulatory/accreditation bodies
- Show transparent data on student preparedness
- Highlight successful placements
❓ How do we onboard our students
We make it easy:
Option 1 - Self Registration:
- Go to sign-up page, find your college and register yourself
- Validate your email ID and activate your account
- Create and complete your institution and personal profile
Option 2 - Bulk Upload:
- Upload your student list (with consent)
- The platform will send invitation emails
- Students complete their own profiles
Option 3 - Gradual Rollout:
- Start with one department or batch
- Test the process
- Expand to other students
We recommend starting small with 20-50 students to learn the system before rolling out institution-wide.
❓ What about student data privacy
We take data privacy seriously:
- Students control what they share
- Colleges can only see aggregate data + individual data for students who've given consent
- All data is encrypted and secure (Azure cloud infrastructure)
- We are compatible with various data protection regulations
Full details in our Privacy Policy.
❓ How much time does this require from our placement cell
Minimal! After initial setup (2-3 hours), ongoing time requirements should be in the range of:
- Weekly: 15-30 minutes to review dashboards and student progress
- Monthly: 1-2 hours for connecting with companies and reviewing opportunities
- As needed: Support students who have questions
If you choose to enable approval workflows, changes made by students (such as profile edits or job applications) can be routed to your queues for review, which may require some additional dedicated time.
In most cases, you will find that BloomingPros.ai actually SAVES time compared to traditional, manual placement management.
❓ We already use a placement management system. Can we still use BloomingPros.ai
Yes! BloomingPros.ai complements your existing systems:
- We focus on skills and portfolios, not just application tracking
- You can continue using your current system for logistics
- BloomingPros.ai adds value by providing readiness insights and verified portfolios
Think of us as an enhancement, not a replacement.
❓ What size institutions is this suitable for
BloomingPros.ai scales to any size:
- Small colleges (300 students) - Easy to manage, personal attention
- Medium colleges (2,000 students) - Batch-level insights
- Large universities (20,000+ students) - Department-level views, powerful analytics
❓ Do we need to pay for company connections
No. During the PoC:
- All features are free
- Company connections are included
- No transaction fees
- No placement fees
You are encouraged to invite companies you already work with, even if they are not yet on BloomingPros.ai, so they can also participate in the PoC. Our goal is to create a transparent ecosystem where students, colleges, and companies all benefit.
