Reach ambitious recruitment and enrollment targets with the assistance of an effective University Recruitment Management system. Automating every step of the admissions process saves both time and resources, giving your staff more time to focus on recruiting students instead.
For example, if a prospective student emails to inquire about your civil engineering program, an automated response can provide instantaneous assistance.
Recruiting
Recruitting in universities can be a complex undertaking, but with the appropriate software solution it can become far simpler. A recruitment management system (RMS) automates every aspect of recruiting from source selection through hiring, while offering insight into team performance and reaching candidates at every step.
University admissions staff often find it challenging to meet the demanding demands of their job, with most time spent processing paperwork and dealing with day-to-day challenges in running an admissions office. This makes creating new approaches to admissions difficult.
To address these issues, it is vital that you gain a full understanding of your current business processes. Once identified, identify those areas which are cumbersome and which steps could benefit from improved technology solutions. Next, seek a software partner who can evaluate your needs and create an integrated solution tailored specifically for improving processes.
Student recruitment differs significantly from typical hiring processes in that applicants tend to be many times greater in volume. Recrur UNI was designed specifically to handle this influx of applications with its clean software architecture that can easily manage this volume of applications. Furthermore, application forms tend to be much longer and more detailed than they would be for companies; Recrur is able to accommodate this through its multi-layered structure which separates academic from non-academic projects as well as document verification and classification capabilities tailored specifically for university requirements.
RMS software offers many advantages to recruitment organizations, chief among them increased efficiency and productivity during the recruitment process. RMS will automatically record and classify documents submitted by candidates, creating more transparency throughout. Furthermore, its data on past performance can help companies enhance hiring practices. Furthermore, users can filter candidate profiles according to gender, age or location preferences – providing more efficient recruitment practices overall.
RMS software can enhance the speed of recruiting by enabling users to search and locate candidates from multiple sources simultaneously, saving both time and resources, as well as eliminating manual resume sifting. In addition, certain tasks can be automated or alerts provided so managers and recruiters remain on target with their recruiting goals.
Admissions
University admissions processes involve receiving an extensive amount of inquiries, applications, transcripts, test scores and requests for data – an activity which can quickly overwhelm even the most diligent student recruitment teams. Furthermore, such activities require advertising, back-and-forth communication and personnel support – this requires funding commitment from universities.
An integrated CRM system can assist admissions teams in managing the workload they face, while improving communications and collaboration among departments. For instance, admissions staff could use it to connect applicants with faculty in their areas of interest as well as track applicants’ interactions with the university in order to refine future recruitment strategies.
Integration CRM system offers institutions a central platform for applicant management and processing, making this particularly helpful when recruiting international students. Furthermore, universities may use it to provide personalized online experiences for prospective students; ultimately leading to improved enrollment processes at their institutions.
Student recruitment management systems also allow universities to track applicants in real-time. This feature can help universities measure how successful a campaign was while also helping admissions managers prioritize efforts based on who is likely to enroll.
An integrated CRM’s primary benefit lies in its ability to automatically send emails tailored to prospective students at each stage in their application process, saving admissions offices countless hours by eliminating manual search-and-send efforts for messages. Additionally, recruiting software can assist with identifying high-quality leads and nurturing them through the recruitment cycle. Furthermore, it can reduce administrative burdens by automating some processes and increasing productivity. Implementing student recruitment software may slow the recruitment process at first due to all of the work that goes into adapting templates and onboarding everyone involved, but it will provide significant returns in terms of reduced costs, increased efficiency and an increase in applicant quality.
Enrollment
An effective student recruitment management system offers prospective students a central hub where they can take an application tour, schedule campus visits, check on admission status or find out their decision. An easy-to-use interface helps relieve staff of tedious admissions duties so they can focus on more ambitious enrollment goals.
An efficient software architecture has been designed for academic recruitment projects involving large volumes of document files (application forms, standardized test scores etc). Furthermore, this architecture will integrate seamlessly with external recruitment channels and university networks and support login through the UNI-ID.
Finally, it is imperative that admissions teams possess an accessible Report module which offers easy access to candidate and applicant data. This will facilitate timely responses to data questions such as “what was the return on investment for recent staff recruitment trips”, or “how is enrollment tracking this year for chemical engineering” among many others. With more data points at their disposal, admissions teams will be better prepared to make sound decisions.
Retention
When recruiting new students, one of the best ways to keep them engaged is by offering them a personalized candidate experience. You can do this using a student recruitment management system designed to quickly provide candidates with all of the information they require easily and quickly. Furthermore, these systems also take note of inquires from applicants as well as provide updates regarding their application status allowing you to stay in touch with candidates and direct them towards help when it is needed most.
Retention activities can have a tremendous effect on your recruiting budget. According to one survey, 40% of employees who left their jobs last year did so within six months after starting them – likely because their values and professional goals didn’t match those of the organization. Assure your employees of their worth to your company while equipping them with all of the tools they require for excellence in their roles.
Finding and hiring talent can be a time-consuming task, particularly for healthcare organizations competing with other industries for clinical staff. Furthermore, hospitals increasingly rely on external contractors for nonclinical and administrative positions; any delays in recruiting could leave hospitals short on qualified personnel.
One common issue facing recruiting teams today is an excessive workload due to a high volume of applications being processed in a short amount of time. Furthermore, many recruiting managers lack familiarity with software designed to assist them with this process; training sessions for hiring managers might prove beneficial before implementing new software systems.
Recrur’s software architecture is perfectly equipped to accommodate university recruitment volumes which tend to exceed those seen in typical businesses, with its multi-layer structure ready to accommodate academic and commercial projects, document verification and classification features tailored specifically for university recruiters, as well as integrations enabling international university networks.
