Recruitment

How do you get from a qualified lead to an acceptable application, and can you organizationally handle a large volume of prospective students?

Most institutions are not equipped to perform well in this important value chain area. The investment needed for a strong set of professional recruiters is prohibitive.  Finding and training people capable of professional recruiting is time consuming, and most universities do not have a skill set for such training or the processes and technologies in place for timely relational recruiting for adults. As a result, most universities spend precious money on marketing, only to have leads drift away from inattention or ineffective recruiting tactics.

Recruitment is undoubtedly one of our core strengths.

We excel at attracting a large number of qualified students to meet mutually-agreed-upon enrollment goals. Our recruiting is not high pressure. Our Enrollment Advisors are a highly trained team of professionals who spend considerable time with prospective students, engaging them in a personal, interactive, and constructive dialogue.  This dialogue is designed to introduce prospects to your institution and program, determine if they will meet your admissions criteria, and if so, lead them through the application, financial aid, and registration process in a timely manner. Our technologies allow instant engagement with prospective students as well as effective and timely tracking throughout the recruitment process. And we act as an invisible resource to your prospects, serving as an extension of your university’s student services team. 

At Compass, we strategically time the marketing campaigns and followup communication to best meet your enrollment goals, resulting in an even, steady flow of predictable enrollments.
