Recruiting Intelligence

Now that the year’s conference flurry has ended (no pun intended for those of you currently getting snow!), we wanted to take the time to reflect back on all of the great information we gathered and presented at the AIRC conference this year.

There was great discussion around what universities should be doing in the months and year ahead given the new political landscape, where institutions should be allocating budgets as they plan for 2017, how tech systems (CRMs and MAPs) can help your recruitment and digital marketing efforts, and how language schools are being used to support some institutions more effectively than others.

We were thrilled to be a part of it. And we really enjoyed the warm Miami weather ;-)

For those who were not able to attend our sessions, or for those who want a closer look at our slides, you can download these below.

But even better than that, you can come meet us in San Diego at our first annual International Student Recruitment Bootcamp (theme: What Works Where), presented in partnership with CGACC. The conference will cover implementing effective strategies, measuring results, and determining what works where. Spaces are limted to just 200 attendees. 

As a loyal reader, we want to extend a special offer: $75 off both registration fees if you sign up with colleague, now until January 5, 2017.

This conference will be a great opportunity for your marketing and international recruitment leadership to come together and build effective global recruitment and marketing plans. As we work with our clients, we have found those institutions that build a strong partnership with their internal marketing and IT colleagues are in the best position to attract and convert their student leads. This conference will help your counterparts gain perspective on global marketing (as distinct from domestic marketing) in ways that will help you be effective going forward. 

Important Reader Note: The Recruiting Intelligence Blog will be taking a short, 2-week break for the holidays and will return on January 4, 2017 with a great set of must-read posts coming your way in the new year. Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday season wherever you may roam.

Podcasts can be an invaluable tool for international student recruiting professionals. They inspire new ideas, motivate us to try new things, and teach us industry secrets. And, you can listen to them just about anywhere, from your morning commute, to the coach seat as you fly to your next student fair, or just at your desk as you carve out a few minutes for lunch between all the demands of the day. Listening to leaders and experts in the field of international student recruiting discuss the same topics you struggle with can shed light on new solutions.

These are all of the reasons Intead started sharing podcasts a few years ago, and since then we’ve shared insights into everything from hiring admissions staff to innovative education models, to marketing to diverse audiences. This week, we’ve compiled a list of our top 10 most listened to podcasts. Here’s what your peers found most valuable.

In all, Intead has produced 46 podcasts with international student recruiting leaders covering all the topics you grapple with all the time. At the end of our top 10 list you will find a link to Intead’s full library of podcasts. Find the insights that are most important to you. Special nod to our co-founder, Michael Waxman-Lenz, for all his work producing these industry-leading resources.
