Student Recruitment Officer

Student Recruitment Officers are employed by universities, colleges and training organisations to attract potential students to the institution and secure their enrolment. They are part of the sales and marketing team and spend the majority of their time talking with leads and prospects in person, on the phone, and through video interactions.

As a Student Recruitment Officer you could be meeting with a prospective student on Zoom, updating the customer relationship system (CRM), creating telephone scripting tools and other sales support materials, representing the university at a local careers day, or meeting with the sales team to review monthly conversion rates.
