Recruitment and Admissions FAQs

Admissions and enrolment management software helps recruitment and admissions teams be more productive with seamless application reviews and one place to connect with students and families. Staff can use trusted AI and analytics throughout the admissions funnel and create onboarding care plans.

With admissions CRM, staff can create tailored applicant portals at scale, easily view and approve documents and track enrolment goals. Unlike individual point solutions, which only address a single use case or challenge, admissions CRM eliminates the pain of having data across multiple systems.

An admissions and enrolment management system can help institutions increase application rates, overall application completion and student enrolment. Instead of stitching data together across disparate systems, staff can save time with unified views of every prospective student and applicant.

Institutions of all sizes trust Salesforce to not only elevate the student recruitment and admissions experience, but also to increase staff productivity at scale. In fact, Forrester Consulting highlighted an enrolment increase and the ROI benefits of Salesforce for multiple institutions in this research.

When comparing admissions CRMs, consider whether the solution has the integrations and customisations you're looking for, a reputable user experience and ROI, trusted customer support and if the solution can grow with your needs. Outline your pain points, compare features and explore key references.
