Build your class by building relationships
Recruitment PLUS drives your recruitment efforts by putting all the information you need in one, easily accessible place. It also lets you track every interaction with a prospective student to help build a strong relationship that leads to enrollment. With Recruitment PLUS, you can monitor:
- How you met each student
- What materials you sent her
- When she visited the campus
- When she was admitted
- What type of financial aid package she received
- When she decided to enroll
- Other critical information
As each new connection is logged, you can stay in touch with students through personal, customized messages, using the student's preferred mode of communication.
Empower your staff
Recruitment PLUS offers a host of features for every member of your staff. Administrators can take advantage of customized tables and merge documents and information fields. They can also easily generate frequently used reports from dozens of standard templates.
Recruiters can use the program to create travel itineraries and predict the success of college night visits based on past experience at a specific school.
