FirstRole
An operating system for your placement cell

Your placement season.
Rebuilt on AI.

One portal for every student, drive, recruiter, and report.

The reality on campus

Placement still runs on spreadsheets, WhatsApp, and late nights.

The CGPA lives in one sheet. Resumes in a drive folder. Shortlists on WhatsApp. Offers in an inbox. Reports assembled by hand, two weeks after the drive. Top students are invisible until they're offered. At risk students are invisible for four years.

80+ hrs Average TPO time per mid size drive — invites, shortlists, feedback, reports.
14 Tools a typical placement cell touches: Excel, WhatsApp, Gmail, Forms, Zoom, Drive…
0 Real time view of student readiness at branch, semester, or cohort level.
Introducing

One cockpit.
Every placement workflow.

FirstRole is the operating system for modern placement cells. Invite students, run drives end to end, coach each student with AI, and deliver NAAC ready reports — all from one portal. Built on secure Supabase with RLS on every table, OTP on every privileged session, and multi channel notifications over email, in app, and WhatsApp.

Drives, end to end

From "please share JD" to offer letter sent.

Every drive runs on a single timeline. Eligibility auto-applies against CGPA and branch. Participants move through stages — shortlist, aptitude, interview, offer — with interview feedback captured inline. Drive ROI shows cost-per-offer and hours-per-offer, so the cell can finally justify its own budget.
