Datatel Recruiter Goes Mobile and Taps into Powerful Social Network

Datatel Recruiter, the latest addition to Datatel's Enterprise CRM solution, now tracks pre-defined search terms in Twitter, discovering conversations about the institution and enabling admissions professionals to engage students in active discussions. Datatel Recruiter captures Twitter feeds, enriching prospect student information and giving admissions professionals a 360-degree view of interactions with prospects.

The "tweets" are automatically analyzed for effectiveness and reach of the conversation. The data can also be applied to the student's probability/desirability metric. If the student's information is not yet in Datatel Recruiter, the foundation of a new potential prospect file is built. Admissions professionals can tweet a response directly from Datatel Recruiter, further engaging students in the admissions process.

Admissions professionals can access Datatel Recruiter's vast capabilities and information from any Web-enabled device - anywhere and at any time. Datatel Recruiter's mobile capability enables admissions professionals to conduct important tasks on the road, including:

• Updating or creating campaigns on the fly
• Qualifying or assigning prospects
• Analyzing responses and campaign ROI with rich offline reporting
• Sending emails through Microsoft Outlook

Datatel Recruiter provides admissions professionals with the CRM tools they need to recruit the right students for their institutions and meet their enrollment goals. For more information on Datatel Recruiter, please visit www.datatel.com/crm.
