Webinar: Building High-Performing Overseas Teams: What Nearly 200 In-Country Reps Can Teach Us

Event Date/Time: Tuesday, September 8th, 12:00-1:00 pm Eastern Time

Event Description:

International enrollment strategies are becoming increasingly complex—and their success often depends on the people responsible for executing them on the ground. Building an in-country team can be one of the most effective ways to strengthen an institution’s market presence, but simply hiring staff is not enough. How can institutions ensure that overseas recruitment professionals remain motivated, supported, and positioned to deliver results?

Drawing on original survey research from nearly 100 in-country representatives working across multiple source markets and study destinations, this session will examine what motivates overseas recruitment professionals, how they define success, the challenges that can limit their effectiveness, and the management practices that help them thrive. 

Rather than advocating for a single staffing model, the presenters will identify universal principles for recruiting, managing, and supporting overseas recruitment staff. Topics will include role design, communication and integration with the home campus, professional development, performance expectations, institutional leadership, and collaboration with agency and other external partners.

Presenters:
Jenna Sices, Grok Global Services
Adam Julian, Miami University - Oxford
