As our Campus Recruitment Specialist, you'll work directly on our higher education partner campuses, bringing our mission to life for both students and school stakeholders who can send students your way, term after term. You'll do this by leading info sessions and classroom talks, answering questions, supporting students through barriers, and coordinating closely with Admissions and Marketing all the way to enrollment day. This is a role for someone who'd rather be at a table in the student union than in an office, who can read a room of skeptical juniors and know exactly what will land.
Our higher education recruitment approach is still evolving, and there won't always be a playbook. You should enjoy turning broad goals into action, testing ideas, learning from results, and building the best practices that lets others replicate what works.

You're at a table outside the student union. One sophomore, an environmental science major who's never left the country, is so intrigued she adds herself to your follow-up list. Between campus stops, you work your pipeline using our Slate admissions system: a call with a student weighing this against a summer internship, a quick text to the faculty champion who keeps sending you her best students, and a note to Admissions flagging two applicants who need help with paperwork.
You log today's leads and check your application and enrollment numbers to see where your focus needs to be tomorrow. You prep tomorrow's classroom talk, and send Marketing a line one student used today that would be a great quote for the next recruitment deck.
