The primary objective of the HBA Recruiting Coordinator is to assist the Manager and the HBA Recruiting Associate with the execution of recruiting and communications activities. The objective of the HBA Recruiting and Admissions team is to maintain or increase the number of high-quality students applying to and accepting offers from the HBA Program from Canada and abroad.

The incumbent works within a team that integrates all recruiting and admissions activities for the Program, including the Director of Recruiting and Admissions, AEO Admissions Coordinator, HBA Admissions Coordinator, HBA Admissions Assistant Coordinator, HBA Recruiting and Program Assistant, HBA Recruiting Manager and HBA Recruiting Associate and will contribute to the planning and execution of various recruiting events and activities.  The events and activities will be targeted to secondary school students, Ivey AEO students at Western, non-AEO students at Western, and university students at other schools.
 

KEY RESULT AREAS:

1. Execute marketing strategies as directed by the Manager with the goal to increase the number and quality of applicants for Ivey AEO status and the HBA Program. 
2. The incumbent will provide assistance to recruiting efforts by conducting presentations at high schools and fairs to promote Ivey and attract prospective students to apply, using key messaging determined by the Director and the HBA Recruiting Manager.

Many schools are scaling back the number and length of scheduled visits by universities and the Program is one of a very few programs that conduct such visits.
