A great website is a critical tool for recruiting students. It’s also a work in progress.

Some parts of your website will work beautifully, and help you meet your objectives.

Some parts won’t.

The key to a truly successful site is being able to pinpoint both what is working, and what needs to be adjusted. For that, you need web analytics.

Just mentioning web analytics may cause heart palpitations among people who consider themselves not technically oriented. Fear not. Yes, there are more analytics out there than any sane person needs to know. But you don’t have to use them all.

Even more importantly, you don’t need to be a techie to use the analytics that will really improve your site and subsequently, your recruitment efforts.

In Web Analytics for Recruitment Success, you’ll discover the key analytics you need to know to continuously improve your recruitment website. After only 75 minutes:

• You’ll be able to present analytics information to everyone from your workplace team to your campus leadership in a clear, straightforward manner.
• And most importantly, you’ll have the knowledge to design a web analytics tracking program that really works.


The approach in this online seminar is based on keeping it simple, scaled to what you need to know, and applicable to recruiting. The seminar will show you:
