What makes IDP Education different from other
international recruitment organisations?
IDP Education is a unique entity in the international
recruitment space, and is the world’s largest student placement
firm.
Unlike companies within the typical agent system, IDP
Education’s staff consists of a wide network of multi-lingual,
professional counsellors in the prospects’ countries, dedicated to
providing students with the best possible guidance to ensure that
they are placed in the exact right school for their needs, goals
and qualifications. The primary compensation our counsellors
receive is salary instead of commission.
By partnering with IDP, you can benefit from
our:
Experience
IDP Education has several decades
experience working with university admissions offices under
stringent professional standards. In Australia, for instance,
the ESOS Act makes universities liable for the actions of their
agents, and throughout our history working under these standards,
we’ve placed more than 300,000 foreign private and sponsored
students into an Australian higher education system. Now we
are bringing that experience and expertise to Canada, offering
tailored marketing and promotional support, cost-effective
recruitment, market intelligence, and regular reporting.
Student-focused mindset
We know that
education is not an end in itself. International students
choose education as a means to fulfill other career, family and
life goals, and IDP Education is committed to partnering with
students to help them make the right educational choices to reach
those goals.
That is why everything we do stays student-focused. If we
create the right match, our students are more likely to retain
through to graduation, which provides you with full tuition and a
strong global alumni network.
Local knowledge and understanding
IDP’s
Network of more than 500 counsellors throughout 20 countries are
well-respected members of their respective communities. They
are bi-lingual not only in language, but in culture, bridging the
language and customs of universities and the local language and
customs of families and their students. They do more than
simply start the students on their journeys; they offer a key link
with the families back home.
Unparalleled matching skills
Experienced
counsellors with thorough training work with families to direct
students to the right school – one that best meets their needs and
dreams. Our sophisticated counselling processes assess
academic ability, language competency and capacity to pay, along
with less objective criteria such as geographical preference,
personality and intended use of the degree, and match the findings
with an in-depth profile of the university. Just as how the
student’s ability to pay is assessed by schools, the university’s
willingness to pay IDP is viewed as a reassuring factor in their
search – they take comfort in knowing the schools with which they
are paired are searching for students exactly like them.
Professional practice
IDP has a corporate
policy of honesty and transparency in dealing with institutional
partners and the students who entrust their future to us. IDP
Education’s 40-year reputation is based on friendly, courteous
advice and service, and the provision of efficient and timely
application processing in accordance with strict government
compliance guidelines.
Market development capabilities
IDP is
deeply integrated with the local education community in each of its
countries. The company’s country directors are well-respected
members of their countries and often have direct access to
influencers in high schools and universities as well as local and
national governments. Overseas education is coveted in our
specific markets, and IDP’s local leadership has the distinct power
to create opportunities for the company’s university
partners. Through expos, workshops, seminars, and in-country
marketing and publicity, IDP can create new demand for degree
programs, helping institutions find specific types of students.
