Univiser helps institutions evolve by providing a flexible and scalable way to deliver applications and services. The peer-to-peer platform can be quickly adapted to changing university needs, which helps institutions keep pace with the ever-changing market landscape.

It's not a secret that the student recruitment process in colleges and universities is constantly evolving. As technology advances, colleges and universities are able to take advantage of tools like the Univiser's peer-to-peer platform to target students with specific qualities that they are looking for in order to fill their seats. This can help them tailor their educational offerings to better fit the needs of their student body.

Traditional Recruitment Process

In general, a prospect traditionally goes through just two steps before choosing to enrol in a university:

Application: A prospect visits the university he or she wishes to enrol in, checks out the admission details through the university's admission help-desk.

Acceptance: Wait for an acceptance phone-call or email stating the entrance exam date, if any. Sometimes, when this takes longer than usual, a prospect will send multiple follow-up emails to the university.

The main problem with traditional recruitment methods is that prospects don't get a chance to explore all the different options available to them, and compare those options to see what best suits their interests. By being more aware of the different opportunities out there, prospects can make sure they end up in a major that's truly right for them.

Physical visits to campuses are an important part of the college decision-making process, as they provide students with first-hand experience of the school environment. If a student is considering three different universities, it is advisable that they visit all three campuses in order to obtain the necessary information as per the traditional recruitment process. Emailing the universities back and forth can often take longer and may not provide the same level of detail as an in-person visit.

Modern Recruitment Process

In a modern recruitment process, a prospective student moves along 6 brief steps before finally deciding on a university to enrol:

Awareness: Upon visiting a university's website, a prospective student can learn about the student ambassadors, which provides an opportunity to chat with alumni, current students or lecturers. This opportunity of chatting with a buddy can help students get more information about the university and make informed decisions about their education.

Comparison: Prospective students can chat with a buddy and compare the different courses available according to their interests. They can also ask about other information on academics, activities, and hostels - all from the comfort of their homes.

Application and Acceptance: Prospective students can find out the exact date of admission and how to apply from a current student. A deployment link in an offer letter could be given to prospective students through current students of the university. The prospects could then apply accordingly and wait for their acceptance email with full confidence, as student ambassadors have notified them.

Enrolment and Arrival: After receiving the acceptance letter or entrance exam date from the university, prospective students can once again contact a student buddy to clarify any pre- and post- enrolment and arrival queries. These can be done from the comfort of their homes without the hassle of travelling all the way back and forth to the university.

Digitizing Recruitment Process with Univiser
