Using Technology to Manage Recruitment Data

One of the many challenges chapters face during recruitment is managing data throughout the recruitment process, beginning with potential new member (PNM) registration all the way to creating a final bid list. Chi Omega has developed a template package, called Recruitment Manager, to assist chapters in successfully navigating recruitment data.

Recruitment Manager is a series of Microsoft Office-based templates that assist in creating valuable recruitment documents, including:

• Matching cards
• Selection Session booklets
• Selection Session ballots

These templates, which can be found in Chi Omega’s Training and Resource center, use mail merge technology to allow chapter recruitment teams to quickly and easily create all the documents needed for recruitment success.

In addition to creating matching cards and Selection Session documents, Recruitment Manager includes a master data spreadsheet to assist in keeping all PNM information and voting organized. Here, computer chairs, advisors and backroom team members can input PNM data. It can be customized to meet the needs of each chapter and conform to the information provided by each campus’ Panhellenic organization. Recruitment Manager has been developed in conjunction with the new online RIF and allows for maximum compatibility between the two information sources.

During the busy recruitment season, it seems time is always at a shortage. With Recruitment Manager, chapter recruitment teams will be able facilitate PNM and voting data with ease, allowing our recruitment operations to flourish!
