Student digital wallet

Students leave with proof of everything they’ve done.

Most institutions lose the evidence of student work the moment a placement ends. CareerHive captures every credential, competency and portfolio piece earned on placement — and keeps it employer-verifiable after graduation.

Credential 01
Verified placement credentials

Every hour logged, competency signed off and assessment completed becomes a verified credential — shareable with future employers via a secure link.

Competencies signed100%
Credential 02
Portfolio of work evidence

Students upload work samples, reflections and supervisor feedback during placement — curated evidence of workplace capability, not just a transcript entry.

Clinical placements are complex.
Your platform shouldn't be.
Ditch the spreadsheet chaos, email chains, and compliance risks.

CareerHive is a purpose-built platform that streamlines every nursing, midwifery and allied health placement for Australian universities. Whether you're a single coordinator managing 200 clinical placements or an enterprise scaling to 10,000+, CareerHive simplifies clinical WIL at any size.
Smart Allocation Engine

One platform.
Every shift.
Zero spreadsheets.

Replaces spreadsheets & manual matching
One system of record for every placement, health facility, student and document. Nothing lives in someone's inbox — every interaction is logged, tracked and searchable.
AM, PM and night shift awareness
The allocation engine understands shift types and student availability — matching students to AM, PM or night rotations based on capacity, preference and equity rules across the cohort.
Distance & travel-optimised matching
Students aren't sent an hour away when a closer match exists. CareerHive weighs travel time, student transport access and geographic equity to produce fairer, more defensible allocations.
Built for AHPRA & accreditation requirements
Pre-built compliance frameworks aligned to AHPRA, ANMAC and discipline accreditation bodies — updated as standards change. Never scramble before an audit again.
End-to-end analytics & automated reporting
Real-time dashboards, accreditation-ready reports and BI integration — generated automatically. Connect to Power BI, Tableau or your own data warehouse with zero manual exports.
Smart Bulk Allocation
Allocate an entire cohort in one action. CareerHive's bulk engine applies your rules — shift type, distance, compliance status and equity constraints — across hundreds of students simultaneously, with coordinator review before confirmation.

4-Way Workflows

Your team should be supporting
students, not chasing
paperwork.

CareerHive automates the entire clinical placement workflow — from trigger to outcome. Reminders, sign-offs, document requests and compliance checks happen automatically, so your team spends time on students, not administration.

Automated clinical workflows
Configure once, run every semester. Smart triggers dispatch notifications, collect signatures and log status changes automatically across your entire cohort — zero manual intervention.
Intelligent reminders & escalations
Overdue compliance tasks auto-escalate. Students who haven't submitted get a nudge. Facilitators who haven't signed get reminded — all without your team lifting a finger.
No-code form builder for clinical docs
Build student assessment forms, incident reports, logbooks and competency checklists without writing a line of code. Conditional logic, multi-party sign-off and version control included.
Digital agreement management
All affiliation agreements, insurance certificates and placement contracts live in one place. Auto-renewal alerts fire before expiry — so you're never caught out at the start of semester.

Shift Allocation

Four allocation models — every clinical program type covered.

No two faculties run clinical placements the same way. CareerHive supports every model — configured for your specific program, not forced into someone else's workflow.

01
Coordinator-Led Allocation
Your coordinator assigns students to hospitals directly. Full visibility and control — with the Smart Allocation Engine handling shift-matching, travel verification and compliance checks.
02
AM / PM / Night Shift Matching
Students are matched to shift types based on eligibility, transport access and travel time thresholds. Night duty is only offered to students who can safely reach the site in time.
03
Multi-Rotation Sequencing
Students rotating across three hospitals in one semester are sequenced logically — avoiding back-to-back incompatible shifts, balancing travel and meeting clinical progression requirements.
04
Unit Conditions Engine
Each hospital unit carries its own eligibility rules — immunisations, year level, inductions, capacity limits. The engine enforces all of them at match time. No student reaches a unit they're not cleared for.
Compliance Built In

Clinical compliance built in —
not bolted on.

CareerHive's compliance framework is pre-built for Australian health education, with automatic verification and audit-ready records at every step of the clinical placement lifecycle.

Pre-Placement Verification
Every student must meet clinical requirements before a placement can proceed. CareerHive verifies automatically — and blocks progression until compliance is confirmed.

Real-time clinical placement dashboards
Live view of every active placement — shift status, compliance, hours and any incidents flagged — across your entire faculty.
Outcomes & quality analytics
Track student competency achievement, facilitator satisfaction, health facility retention and graduate employment outcomes — all linked to placement data.
Accreditation-ready export

Smart Workflows

Your team should be leading
programs, not chasing
paperwork.

CareerHive automates the entire placement workflow — from trigger to outcome. Reminders, sign-offs, document requests and compliance checks happen automatically, so your team spends time on students, not administration.

Automated placement workflows
Configure once, run every semester. Smart triggers dispatch notifications, collect signatures and log status changes automatically across your entire cohort — zero manual intervention.
Intelligent reminders & escalations
Overdue tasks auto-escalate. Students who haven't submitted get a nudge. Supervisors who haven't signed get reminded — all without your team lifting a finger.
Custom form builder
Build placement-specific forms — assessment sheets, logbooks, incident reports, supervisor feedback — with a drag-and-drop builder. No code required.
4-way digital sign-off
Every placement agreement signed digitally by student, employer, supervisor and your institution — tracked, timestamped and audit-ready. No printing, no scanning, no chasing.

Auto-Match Engine

From weeks of coordination
to hours of intelligent
matching.

CareerHive's Auto-Match Engine replaces the manual student-employer matching process. It analyses discipline, location, availability, learning objectives and employer capacity — then surfaces ranked matches for your team to review and confirm. 10,000+ employers on the network.

Multi-factor matching algorithm
Discipline, level, location radius, availability, language requirements, accessibility needs and cohort balance — all weighted simultaneously. Coordinators review recommendations, not raw lists.
10,000+ Employer Network
Australia's largest WIL employer network, pre-verified and ready to accept students. Add your own employers seamlessly — or let CareerHive source new partners in your region.
Student preference ranking
Students rank their placement preferences through their portal. The engine incorporates preferences alongside institutional requirements — balancing student choice with program needs.
Bulk re-matching & overflow handling
When a placement falls through, re-matching is one click. Overflow queues, waitlists and cancellation workflows are handled automatically — no scrambling, no missed calls.

not bolted on.

CareerHive's compliance framework is pre-built for Australian higher education, with automatic verification and audit-ready records at every step of the placement lifecycle.

Placement Allocation

Four allocation models — every WIL program type covered.

No two faculties run placements the same way. CareerHive supports every model — configured for your specific program, not forced into someone else's workflow.

01
Coordinator-Led Allocation
Your coordinator assigns students to employers directly. Full visibility and control — with automation handling the workflow and communication.
02
Student Self-Selection
Students browse available placements and apply directly. Employers review and accept. Coordinators oversee and approve — hands-off until needed.
03
Employer-Initiated Offers
Host employers post placement opportunities and invite applications. Students apply, coordinators approve. Ideal for competitive internship programs.
04
Auto-Match Engine
The platform matches students and employers intelligently based on discipline, location, availability and preferences. Review and confirm in bulk.
Student Digital Wallet

Students leave with proof of everything they've done.

Most universities lose the evidence of student work the moment placement ends. CareerHive's Student Digital Wallet captures every credential, competency and portfolio piece earned on placement — and makes it employer-verifiable for 12 months after graduation.

Verified placement credentials
Every hour logged, every competency signed off and every assessment completed is captured in a verified credential — shareable with future employers via a secure link. No PDF to fake, no spreadsheet to question.
Portfolio of work evidence
Students upload work samples, reflections and supervisor feedback directly during placement. It all lives in their wallet — curated evidence of workplace capability, not just a transcript entry.
12-month post-graduation access
The wallet doesn't disappear at graduation. Students retain access for 12 months — so they can share evidence with employers during the job search that matters most.

Our Mission

We're here to make every placement count

Across Australia, thousands of students miss out on placements every year — not because opportunities don't exist, but because the systems managing them can't keep up. CareerHive was built to fix that, permanently.

Active student placements managed on the platform right now

We are passionate about giving every student the placement experience they actually deserve — not the one a legacy system permits.

Our vision is simple: every student in Australia should have access to meaningful, real-world work experience. Not just the ones at well-resourced institutions with large admin teams — every student. Australia's education providers are world-class in teaching, but when it comes to the operational machinery of work placements — the agreements, the document checks, the supervisor coordination, the reporting — far too many are still held back by systems built for a different era. Our team is dedicated to changing that permanently, so educators can focus on students, not spreadsheets.

The Problem We Solve

Legacy systems don't just slow you down.
They cost students their futures.

The Legacy Reality
Placements managed in spreadsheets and outdated systems
Version conflicts, lost rows, no audit trail — one mistake can put an entire cohort at risk.
Coordination via email chains
Supervisor agreements lost in inboxes. Students waiting weeks for approvals that should take hours.
Manual document verification
Staff spending hours verifying documents and prerequisites that a purpose-built system should handle automatically.
CareerHive changes this
Automated end-to-end placement workflows
From student application to supervisor sign-off — every step orchestrated automatically.
Automated document and prerequisite verification
Required checks and agreements verified automatically before a student steps on site — zero manual chasing.
Live analytics and outcome tracking
See every placement, every student, every compliance status — in real time, in one place.

Australia's universities have ambition that outpaces their infrastructure. Placement coordinators are exceptional professionals trapped by tools that were never designed for the complexity of modern work-integrated learning.

When a placement falls through because an email was missed, or a student starts without verified prerequisites because the spreadsheet wasn't updated — that's not a people failure. It's a systems failure. And it's exactly why we built CareerHive.

More placements, same team
Institutions using CareerHive increase their placement capacity by an average of 35% without adding headcount.
Documentation you can actually trust
Full audit trails, automated document verification, and outcome reporting built into every workflow from day one.
Students first, always
Every feature is designed around one question: does this help a student get the right placement at the right time?
What Drives Us

Twelve principles we never compromise on

These aren't values written on a wall. They're the decisions we make every day when building CareerHive.

Automation Over Administration
If a human is doing something a system could do reliably, we automate it. Every hour saved on admin is an hour a coordinator spends on students.
Student Outcomes Above Everything
Every feature we ship is evaluated against one metric: does it help more students complete better placements? If not, it doesn't ship.
Documentation Built In, Not Bolted On
Verification, audit trails, and outcome reporting aren't an afterthought — they're architecture. Embedded from day one so institutions always have records they can stand behind.
Deep Partnership Over Pure Product
We don't sell software and disappear. We consulted 80+ placement managers to build CareerHive, and we stay embedded long after go-live. We're partners, not vendors.
Built for Scale, Designed for People
CareerHive handles 18,000+ concurrent placements, yet every student, supervisor and coordinator experiences it as a tool designed just for them.
Speed to Value
Most implementations go live within 30 days. We've stripped away the complexity that other platforms hide behind 12-month deployment timelines.
Radical Transparency
Institutions trust us with their most important data and their most important relationships — students. We earn that trust through transparency in everything we do.
Equity of Access
A student at a regional TAFE deserves the same quality of placement experience as one at a sandstone university. We build CareerHive so that geography, resources, and institution size never determine who gets a great placement.
Continuous Improvement, Not Version Lock
Legacy systems trap institutions for years. CareerHive ships improvements every fortnight — driven by feedback from the placement managers and coordinators who use it daily. Your platform gets better without you having to ask.
Industry-Connected, Not Industry-Agnostic
Work placements look fundamentally different in a hospital ward, a construction site, and a law firm. CareerHive is built to understand those differences — configurable to the unique demands of every industry, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Interoperability Over Isolation
Institutions already have student management systems, learning platforms, and HR tools. CareerHive plugs into that ecosystem rather than demanding you replace it. Open APIs, clean integrations, and no data silos — ever.
Visibility for Every Stakeholder
Students should know where their placement stands. Supervisors should know exactly what's expected. Coordinators should see every active placement at a glance. Clarity at every level isn't a feature — it's the foundation everything else is built on.
CareerHive founders
Our Story

Built by people who lived the problem firsthand

CareerHive wasn't born in a boardroom. It was built out of direct experience watching placement coordinators drown in admin while students waited — sometimes too long.

"We sat with placement managers across Australia and heard the same story over and over — incredible people, completely let down by the tools they were given. Coordinators spending their evenings in spreadsheets, students waiting weeks for approvals that should take hours. That's when we knew CareerHive had to exist — and that our vision had to be bigger than just fixing one institution's pain."

Naren Chellappah, Professional Experience & WIL Specialist

Founded in Melbourne in 2022 and built through deep consultation with over 80 placement managers, CareerHive has grown from a focused solution into the platform powering thousands of placements nationally. Our vision drives every decision: work experience for every student in Australia.

Our Vision

Work experience for every student in Australia

We don't measure success in software features or revenue. We measure it in placements — in the number of students who got real-world experience that shaped their career, because CareerHive made it possible for their institution to deliver it. That number is never big enough until it's every student.

Industry placements shouldn't stall
on paperwork, emails and compliance gaps.
Ditch the spreadsheets, lost forms and manual ASQA-chasing.

CareerHive replaces every paper training plan, email chain and compliance spreadsheet with one intelligent platform built for RTOs and TAFE. Whether you're running a Certificate III with 50 students or a Diploma program with 400 learners across multiple campuses — CareerHive manages every stakeholder, every competency unit and every ASQA compliance requirement automatically. The result: your trainers and placement coordinators spend their time on learners, not administration.
Placement Matching & Competency Tracking

Match every learner to the right host —
then track every unit to completion.

CareerHive auto-matches students to approved host employers based on qualification, location and industry sector — then maps every placement activity to the relevant units of competency in your Training Package, so assessment evidence builds itself.

Intelligent host employer matching
CareerHive matches each learner to available host employers by qualification code, industry sector and proximity — surfacing the best-fit placements instantly. RTO staff review and confirm with one click. No more coordinating via email and spreadsheet.
Digital training plans & agreements
Training plans are created from your qualification template and sent digitally to the student and employer for signing. Signed copies stored automatically against the student record. No paper, no lost faxes, no manual filing.
Unit of competency mapping
Every placement task and logbook entry maps automatically to the relevant units of competency in your Training Package. Assessment evidence accumulates passively — so by the time a student completes their placement, most of the evidence portfolio is already built.
Trainer visit scheduling & site records
Trainer site visits are scheduled and tracked in CareerHive. Visit notes, observation records and verbal questioning evidence are captured on-site — instantly linked to the relevant student, unit and placement. No separate systems, no lost notes.

Supervisor Assessment & Compliance Workflows

Automated 4-party workflows —
so nothing falls through
the cracks.

CareerHive coordinates the student, host employer supervisor, trainer-assessor and RTO admin in a single connected workflow — with every approval, assessment and compliance record captured automatically and stored against the student for ASQA audits.

4-party digital workflows
Student completes daily logbook, supervisor signs off, trainer reviews evidence, admin monitors compliance — every step triggers the next automatically. No chasing, no gaps, no missed approvals.
Third-party supervisor assessment forms
Supervisors complete digital third-party assessment forms per unit of competency — with competency descriptions pre-loaded from the Training Package. Evidence is captured, signed and stored automatically. No paper forms, no email attachments.
Pre-placement compliance clearance
Every placement starts only after CareerHive verifies all compliance requirements — Working with Children Check, police clearance, immunisation records (for health placements), employer insurance and site WHS risk assessment. All tracked, all documented.
AVETMISS reporting & audit packs
Placement hours, unit outcomes and attendance automatically feed your AVETMISS export. When ASQA comes knocking, every student's evidence portfolio, signed agreements, site visit records and assessment decisions are packaged and ready to export in minutes.
