Admissions Recruiter Higher Education Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/6/2018 "Don't even try." 0/5 What do you like best about Ellucian Recruiting & Admissions? This product has been a nightmare from the start. The only thing that this product has going for it, is the dashboards that can be created to track the activities of staff members, even then, the data pulled is never accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ellucian Recruiting & Admissions? I could go on and on, but let me just say that this product loses student information and is never accurate. Ellucian claims that their platforms "talk" to each other, yet our IT department connately has to correct communication issues between the platforms. When Ellucian pitches this product, they claim that it auto processes student applications, however they fail to inform you about the 15 step process that you have to complete to process an application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Ellucian Recruiting & Admissions: Stay as far away from this product as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ellucian Recruiting & Admissions solving and how is that benefiting you? If anything this product has created more problems than solved. From not being able to communicate with the other Ellucian products, to claiming to auto process applications, this company has lied from the moment they try to sell it to you. The biggest benefit this product offers is the satisfaction of getting rid of it and inputting a new platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The concept of the tool is great -- provide a sleek student application and recruitment interface for your academic institution based on Microsoft's Dynamic CRM product. It was very attractive and relatively easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ellucian Recruiting & Admissions? The primary issue is that Ellucian deployed a product before they had the resources trained to properly install and support it. With an on-premise solution, the installation was botched to the point where it couldn't be upgraded past a certain point, the BRIM service in conjunction with it's matching algorithms generated an enormous amount of duplicate ID's, and support tickets went unanswered for months because they didn't have people knowledgeable enough in the product area to handle the issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Ellucian Recruiting & Admissions: Consider other options if you're hosting on premises. Otherwise, you MUST go the route of having Ellucian host the product for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ellucian Recruiting & Admissions solving and how is that benefiting you? Our goal was to replace the Self-Service Banner application with a next-generation solution. However, we wound up cancelling our contract and uninstalled the product. We returned to using the SSB application which has been working much better -- we've seen a 95% reduction in duplicate PIDMs as opposed to using Recruiter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It connects with BANNER, so that's a plus. If you just need it for recruitment and nothing else, it's okay Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ellucian Recruiting & Admissions? It's not a lifecycle CRM product. It does not speak to Ellucian Advise at all, so if you have multiple systems, you essentially have multiple CRMS. to me it defeats the purpose. Not a ton of customization options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Ellucian Recruiting & Admissions: If you are looking for a lifecycle product, this isn't it. It has zero connection to the next module, Advise. For us, it's a major pain point and defeats the purpose of a CRM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that reports can be created for data I need. Reports are, fore the most part, readable and easy to understand. I can download them into excel nicely, and the print reports look nice enough that I can share with my boss directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ellucian Recruiting & Admissions? I wish I could create graphics with the data within the database without having to use another program. It could be more user friendly- it honestly took my about a year to feel really good with where everything is located- things are not intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Ellucian Recruiting & Admissions: There are better products out there, I wouldn't start using this unless we were already using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ellucian Recruiting & Admissions solving and how is that benefiting you? We are able to keep out data in one place, which is important as we are many offices within a large system. Ellucian though, does not allow us to keep all information and so we need to use a secondary CRM (salesforce) for keeping track of engagements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
