About AIMS Institutes

AIMS Institutes, Bangalore, is one of South India's most respected educational institutions with over three decades of academic legacy. Offering a diverse portfolio of UG and PG programs in Management, Commerce, Computer Applications, and allied disciplines, AIMS has consistently produced industry-ready graduates. Our Placements & Industry Relations division is the bridge between academic excellence and professional success — and we are now seeking a powerhouse Placements Executive to take our placement outcomes to new heights.

Role Overview

The Placements Executive will be the primary driver of student employment outcomes at AIMS Institutes. This is a high-impact, relationship-intensive role that demands a proactive, resourceful, and highly networked professional. The ideal candidate brings a proven track record of delivering outstanding placement and internship results, a deep understanding of the Indian corporate hiring landscape, and a robust network of 300+ industry connects spanning sectors and geographies across India.

This is not a back-office role — it requires a hustler's mindset, a consultant's relationship skills, and a data-driven approach to achieving ambitious placement targets year-on-year.

Key Responsibilities

• Corporate Outreach & Industry Relations
• Proactively engage and expand a network of 300+ active corporate partners across sectors such as BFSI, IT/ITeS, FMCG, Consulting, Retail, E-commerce, Manufacturing, Healthcare, and Logistics — across Pan India.
• Initiate, build, and sustain long-term relationships with HR heads, Talent Acquisition teams, Business Leaders, and CXOs of partner companies.
• Identify and onboard new recruiters each placement season — targeting at least 80–100 new companies annually.
• Attend industry events, job fairs, HR conclaves, CII/FICCI/NASSCOM events, and campus recruitment summits to strengthen AIMS' corporate footprint.
• Develop and pitch customized placement proposals to corporates, highlighting the talent pool and academic strengths of AIMS students.
• Placement & Internship Execution
• Achieve and exceed annual placement targets — targeting 90%+ placement rate across all eligible batches.
• Drive internship placements for all programs, ensuring a minimum of 200+ internship opportunities per academic year across industries.
• Coordinate and execute campus recruitment drives — on-campus, off-campus, and virtual — with seamless logistics and communication.
• Manage end-to-end recruitment cycles: company registration, JD sharing, shortlisting, pre-placement talks, aptitude tests, GDs, interviews, and offer letter collection.
• Maintain a live placement tracker covering company-wise, program-wise, and student-wise placement data with real-time updates.
• Student Readiness & Development
• Collaborate with academic departments to align curriculum with industry expectations and hiring trends.
• Design and conduct Corporate Readiness Programs including resume writing workshops, LinkedIn profile building, mock interviews, group discussion training, and business etiquette sessions.
• Identify student strengths and weaknesses through profiling and match students to the right job roles and companies.
• Counsel and mentor students on career choices, job market realities, and professional development strategies.
• Monitor student attendance and participation in placement preparation activities, flagging and supporting at-risk students proactively.
• Pre-Placement Talks (PPTs) & Campus Events
• Schedule and coordinate Pre-Placement Talks from leading companies across sectors for final year students.
• Organize annual Placement Fairs, Industry Interface Programs, Guest Lectures, and Corporate Mentorship initiatives.
• Facilitate MoUs and long-term recruitment partnerships with top-tier and emerging companies.
• Coordinate with marketing for employer branding campaigns and placement achievement communications.
• Data, Reporting & Analytics
• Maintain comprehensive, real-time placement records — including offers, CTCs, sectors, roles, and company tiers — for all batches.
• Generate weekly and monthly placement dashboards for the management, highlighting progress against targets.
• Track year-on-year trends in hiring, average CTC, sector diversity, and internship conversion rates.
• Benchmark AIMS placement outcomes against peer institutions and identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.
• Alumni & Lateral Engagement
• Leverage the AIMS alumni network as a referral and recruitment channel — converting alumni into campus recruiters.
• Build and manage an active alumni-employer database segmented by industry, designation, and location.
• Facilitate lateral hiring opportunities for alumni and maintain long-term engagement through placement-related events.
