Contract Recruiter

At Ambrose University, we believe community and purpose go hand in hand. Recruitment is often a prospective student’s first connection to the university, and this role helps represent Ambrose to future students and school communities. This opening uses a lighter version of the standard Ambrose introduction without overbuilding the role.

Position Summary

The Contract Recruiter serves as an on-the-road recruiter and ambassador of Ambrose University by providing information about Ambrose programs and services for the purpose of generating inquiries and applications through ELAA and other recruitment events. This role supports student recruitment through school visits, fairs, presentations, and follow-up lead generation activities.

This position requires flexibility, including travel, occasional evening work, and periodic overnight stays depending on the recruitment schedule. This is a modest structural addition to align the JD with your standard format while keeping the manager’s core intact.

Reporting Relationship

Reports To: Recruitment & Admissions Manager

Duties and Responsibilities

• Attend prescribed recruitment events, primarily high school tour events including ELAA, CCUT, and various other fairs, to recruit prospective students for Ambrose University.
• Provide accurate information about Ambrose University programs, admissions requirements, and student services in order to encourage prospective students toward application and enrolment. This lightly refines the manager’s original language without changing its substance.
• Collect prospective student contact information to support further follow-up by Ambrose University, including the daily upload of contact card photos for entry into the university CRM.
• Organize personal travel schedules and submit receipts for reimbursement.
• Coordinate travel logistics in advance, including booking hotels, arranging transportation, and developing travel schedules for out-of-town or off-campus events. Travel may occur within the regular workday or require overnight stays for several nights at a time.
• Communicate with the supervisor regarding successes, challenges, and outcomes of recruitment activity while on the road.
• Duties and responsibilities performed within one’s capabilities that do not constitute a major change may be added, deleted, or changed at any time at the discretion of the supervisor. This standard closing responsibility clause comes from your current Ambrose template and is worth retaining.
