In-country Support for Global Student Recruitment

The University of Southampton is looking to grow international student numbers and we have set challenging recruitment targets for the next 5 years. Successfully developing the international market, specifically at undergraduate level, for recruitment to on-campus provision is essential to achieving these targets. Based on solid research and our experience in-market, the University has identified India and South East Asia as key areas of strategic priority for international recruitment.

A key element of the new recruitment strategy is to use an in-country ‘managed service’ to allow us to expand coverage. The University is therefore seeking a managed service solution specifically for the provision of the recruitment, selection and induction of dedicated qualified staff to be located within country, the supervision of those staff to be delivered by an account manager and the provision of office space and associated business support and services.
