No experience required: why Student CRM is a breeze for university recruiters

When it comes to adopting new software, especially something as critical as a student recruitment CRM, many universities might worry about the onboarding process and whether their users will find it easy to use. The good news? Our recent survey proves that you have nothing to fear with Student CRM.

We asked university recruiters, "have you used a CRM before?" The results were fascinating, showing that most users were new to using a CRM, but that, thanks to our software’s user-friendly design, they started quickly and never looked back.

Here’s what we found:

User Experience Survey Results

Two-thirds of users had no previous CRM experience.

  • 67% of users were complete newbies, with no prior experience using any CRM systems.

  • 19% of users had some experience with other CRM software.

  • 14% of users were highly experienced or "jedi" users.

Despite the fact that the majority of our users started with zero CRM experience, they didn’t need it. Our software is designed to be intuitive and straightforward. New users took to Student CRM like ducks to water, quickly becoming proficient.


This data should reassure any university considering Student CRM that even users who are completely new to CRM systems will not only be able to use the software but will become adept at it in no time.
