The preference to pursue higher education abroad has become a go-to option for many young minds. Universities and Institutions are in a race to attract the best and brightest students from around the globe. In this endeavour, the role and demand for study abroad consultants have significantly surged as well. As per HolonIQ, the $196B International Education Market is set to reach $433B by 2030. Thus, offering great scope for business and growth in the forthcoming years.
KC Overseas Education, through its innovative tech platform coursefinder.ai, offers a seamless, end-to-end study abroad recruitment experience. This user-friendly interface, combined with an extensive course database, makes it easier than ever for study abroad recruiters to convert students faster.
As part of KC’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the user experience, coursefinder has rolled out a series of advancements and updates. This article discusses the top 10 advanced features of coursefinder.ai that are set to transform international student recruitment.
Imagine a platform where partners can effortlessly process tuition fee payments for both KC and non-KC students via Flywire. With the Flywire Payments Dashboard, this is now a reality. Previously, partners could only track the transaction status of payments for KC students at an application level.
This latest feature introduces a personalized dashboard where partners can view all their Flywire transactions and their respective statuses. Notably, it extends tracking capabilities to non-KC applications, accessible by both parent and counsellor accounts. Exclusivity is key here, as only partners have access to this dashboard, ensuring privacy and security in transaction management.
Billing processes can often be a headache, but coursefinder.ai’s new Commission Payments feature is here to change that. Now, partners can view commission notes and raise invoices directly from the platform. This streamlines the billing process, eliminating paperwork and allowing recruiters to focus on what truly matters—delivering top-notch services to their students.
The platform’s interface provides clear visibility on commission notes, categorized into ‘In-progress’ and ‘Paid’ tabs. Partners can view, download, and process invoices with ease, making invoicing hassle-free and efficient.
Speed and convenience are at the heart of student registration with coursefinder.ai’s dedicated registration link and QR code feature. Partners can easily share this personalized link through various communication mediums like email and WhatsApp or integrate it into their official websites. The QR code can even be printed and displayed on desks or notice boards.
This innovation not only facilitates self-registration for students but also ensures they can complete their profiles online with minimal assistance. The result? A smoother, faster registration process that saves time and effort for both students and partners.
Along with the dedicated registration link and QR code feature, coursefinder.ai recently introduced a new and enhanced Student Platform. This is a white-labelled solution that partners can offer as their own. This student recruitment platform allows students to enter personal, academic, and work experience information, upload necessary documents, and view application statuses.
The control lies with the partners, as all student-entered information remains invisible to KC directly until approved and submitted to KC. This feature empowers partners to manage student profiles efficiently while offering a seamless application journey to their students.
Financial hurdles can be a significant barrier for students aspiring to study abroad. coursefinder.ai addresses this with a pre-approved loan letter feature from Avanse Financial Services. By inputting basic financial details of the students and co-applicants, partners can quickly assess loan eligibility.
The platform provides instant feedback on loan approval, the maximum loan amount, and repayment tenure. This feature not only facilitates financial planning for students but also provides a pre-approved loan letter from Avanse once the eligibility criteria are met.
Branding and customization are crucial for any partner, and coursefinder.ai’s custom domains feature for the Student Platform delivers just that. This white-labelled self-service platform allows students to update profiles, upload documents, and track applications, all while reflecting the partner’s brand. The URL will be of the partner’s website.
Accessible only via a secure OTP sent to the student’s email, this platform ensures data privacy and security. Custom domains provide a professional touch, reinforcing the partner’s brand identity and ensuring a consistent user experience.
Effective communication is the backbone of any recruitment process, and Coursefinder.ai’s Custom Email Settings feature enhances this aspect. Launched earlier in the year, this tool allows partners to customize their email settings, aligning with their official website and email addresses.
A step-by-step tutorial guides partners through the process on this edtech platform, ensuring they can fully utilise this feature to enhance student communication. This not only personalizes the interaction but also ensures that all correspondence is professional and branded.
coursefinder.ai understands the importance of managing access and notifications effectively. With the new feature to hide commission payment access in the parent partner account, partners can now control who has visibility over commission payments.
Partners can designate up to two users with exclusive access to commission payments and notifications, ensuring a streamlined and focused approach to financial management. Additionally, creating, managing or modifying the ‘Commission Payment User’ is a simple and streamlined process.
The coursefinder.ai mobile app is now available for both Android and iPhone users. The app brings a host of features to the fingertips of KC’s Franchisees and Partner Associates. From comprehensive student management and real-time notifications to efficient document handling and counsellor management, the app covers all bases.
Additional features like help and FAQs, regional contacts, and a feedback portal ensure users have all the support they need. The customizable user experience allows partners to modify the app settings to their preferences, making it a versatile tool in the recruitment arsenal.
Communication between partners and students is now more streamlined with coursefinder.ai’s two-way chat-based communication feature. Currently functioning in the application, this feature allows for easy tracking of conversations related to specific applications.
Both partners and students receive email and bubble notifications for new messages, ensuring prompt and efficient communication. Privacy is paramount; the KC team does not have access to chat content, and custom emails and domains ensure all communication aligns with the partner’s branding.
In conclusion, coursefinder.ai continues to set the standard for innovation in the international student recruitment industry. These latest updates not only enhance the user experience but also streamline the recruitment process, making it easier for recruiters to onboard numerous students.
For study abroad recruiters looking to involve in a smarter way to recruit students, you can connect with the KC’s Partner Specialist Team and experience these innovative features.
