Three loops across the cohort lifecycle

Cut pre-cohort no-show. Catch week-three drop-out. Sharpen admissions every cohort.

Pre-cohort RIASEC plus Skills Audit reduces no-show 30-50 percent. Week-three Burnout Risk catches the ghosting drop-out before it happens. Post-cohort outcomes data feeds back to admissions. Free for cohorts.

In Brief

JobCannon for Coding Bootcamp Cohort Success deploys three assessment loops across the cohort lifecycle. Loop 1 is pre-cohort fit screening: RIASEC plus Skills Audit plus Big Five before deposit produces a fit score and trajectory prediction; bootcamps adopting it report 30-50 percent reduction in pre-cohort no-show. Loop 2 is week-three intervention: a 10-minute Burnout Risk plus Values check is pushed at end of week three; cohort lead sees a quiet flag listing students whose engagement signals predict drop-out before week six. Loop 3 is post-cohort outcomes mapping: six months after cohort end, alumni placement data feeds back to assessment baseline; over four to six cohorts the platform identifies the trait clusters that predict placement at your specific bootcamp, sharpening admissions models. Works for full-stack, data-science, UX, product, growth-marketing bootcamps. Complements technical screens (CodeSubmit, Codility) — those test skill, this tests fit and trajectory. Optional ISA underwriting signal for bootcamps with income-share agreements; adopters report 1-3 percentage point default-rate reductions in first cohort using the data. Free for cohorts; cohort dashboard $199/mo Business tier or partnership for multi-cohort operators.

Three loops, one platform

Pre, mid, post — each with a measurable outcome.

Pre-cohort fit screen
RIASEC plus Skills Audit plus Big Five before deposit. Admissions sees fit score and trajectory prediction. Wrong-fit applicants self-select out before paying, which protects deposit revenue. 30-50 percent reduction in pre-cohort no-show in adopting bootcamps.
Week-three intervention
Burnout Risk plus Values check at end of week three. Cohort lead sees quiet flag listing students whose engagement is dropping. Catches three or four students per cohort who would otherwise ghost between week four and six.
Post-cohort outcomes loop
Alumni placement data feeds back to assessment baseline. Over four to six cohorts the platform identifies trait clusters that predict placement at your bootcamp. Admissions sees an updated ideal-applicant profile each cohort.
ISA underwriting signal
For bootcamps with income-share agreements, assessment data feeds into underwriting alongside academic and coding pre-test signals. Adopters report 1-3 percentage point default-rate reductions in first cohort using the data.

FAQ

Why is pre-cohort fit screening worth the friction?

Bootcamps lose 5-15 percent of enrolled students before week one — paid deposits, then no-show. The cause is almost never financial; it is wrong-fit self-selection that surfaces between deposit and start. A 25-minute RIASEC plus Skills Audit before the deposit window converts wrong-fit applicants into no-shows before they pay, not after, which protects deposit revenue and frees the seat for the waitlist. Bootcamps adopting the loop report 30-50 percent reduction in pre-cohort no-show. The friction is small: one assessment session, automated, mobile-friendly, no human required to score.

What specifically happens at week three?

Week three is the bootcamp danger zone. Students realised in week two that the pace is harder than the marketing implied, and now they are deciding whether to push through or quietly disappear. The platform pushes a 10-minute Burnout Risk plus Values check at end of week three, scored automatically, with a quiet flag visible to the cohort lead — not the student. The lead sees a list of students whose engagement signals predict drop-out before week six and books a 1:1. Catching three of those students saves more revenue than the entire annual platform cost.

How does post-cohort outcomes mapping actually work?

Six months after cohort end, alumni who placed into roles at $60K-plus are tagged "successful". The platform analyses their assessment baseline — what RIASEC code, what Big Five trait pattern, what Skills Audit score — and identifies which clusters predicted placement at your specific bootcamp. Admissions sees an updated ideal-applicant profile each cohort. Over four to six cohorts the model converges. It is not a hard filter; it is a directional signal that improves admissions hit-rate from gut to data-informed without losing the human read.

Does this work for non-coding bootcamps like UX, data, and product?

Yes. The assessment battery is generic — RIASEC and Big Five do not care if the destination is engineer, designer, analyst, or PM. The Career Guide maps to all common bootcamp destinations across 2,536 careers. UX bootcamps add Multiple Intelligences and Visual-Spatial assessments; data bootcamps lean on IQ and Skills Audit; product bootcamps emphasise EQ and Conflict Styles for stakeholder management. Growth-marketing bootcamps add a Critical Thinking screen.

How does this compare to coding-specific tools like CodeSubmit and Codility?

Complementary, not competitive. CodeSubmit and Codility test technical skill — can the applicant solve a coding problem in 30 minutes. JobCannon tests fit and trajectory — does the applicant have the temperament, motivation, and skill base to push through twelve weeks of new material. Most adopting bootcamps run a coding test for technical baseline and JobCannon for fit and trajectory, which catches both technical and motivational mismatches. Either signal alone is incomplete.

Can we use this with our income-share agreement underwriting?

Some bootcamps with ISAs use JobCannon assessment data as one signal in their underwriting model — alongside academic background and coding pre-test. We do not provide a credit score or formal underwriting opinion; we provide validated psychometric and skills data the underwriting team can incorporate. Bootcamps that did this report a 1-3 percentage point reduction in default rate in the first cohort using the data. That is small in percentage terms and large in dollar terms for a bootcamp with hundreds of ISAs in flight.
