I am just wondering if any other colleges are concerned about Datatel
Recruiter and how it is going to take over the applications from
Active Admissions? How are you all handling the switch?

At the moment CWC is not doing anything. With Recruiter being roughly
8-12 months from Go Live date, we are waiting to see more information.
Unfortunately their webinar on Recruiter meant for AA users was a
complete waste of time. It was the same exact (and recorded)
presentation as their general one and they have not responded to our
emails asking for more information.

Hi all,

Found this http://mediasite.ashland.edu/mediasite/Viewer/?peid=500e4087960a4f6e86ec60594de87d99
which was recorded recently. The session at a client talks about
ActAdmiss/Recruiter.

Beingonly months based our Go Live with ActiveAdmissions and CMS,
Recruiter came as somewhat of a shock when introduced especially after
the time taken with the Online Application prior to going live. Our
goal is understand how much of Active Admissions, Recruiter takes the
place of. Will Admissions have no reason to use the Console or Active
Campus at all? It sounds as though integration to Colleague from the
CMS is unnecessary with Recruiter in play. With this functionality
and integration taken from the CMS, what are we left with, just
personalization? As a new user I guess I'm wondering if we came in to
this at the end.

Any other thoughts? Am I just being paranoid? :)

Jason,

You have many of the same questions that we have. We just went live
last summer, so we are wondering how this all ties in. Datatel isnt
much help, we asked how it all works together and they said "we'll get
back to you" from what I can tell recruiter controls all the forms,
and the console and active admissions does the little spotlights, and
pages etc. Not sure if it is worth the money or not. I was hoping
someone else was having the same experience and could shed some light
on it. Thanks!

Yes, it was a waste of time. There are only 4 colleges who are working
with recruiter right now, none of them in Wyoming. I am just not sure
what this will mean for AA. If I hear anything else I will let you
know.
