ICEF Podcast: Is Artificial Intelligence the biggest threat for digital agent recruitment platforms?

Listen in as ICEF’s Craig Riggs and Martijn van de Veen recap some recent industry news, including rising student housing costs in Europe and the latest foreign enrolment data for the UK.

This month's episode features a conversation with Louise Nicol, the CEO of the industry consultancy Asia Careers Group. Louise has written widely on trends shaping the sector and we focus on her latest article for University World News, which highlights the need for better data in student recruitment and the ways in which Artificial Intelligence could both challenge and benefit some of the largest digital recruitment platforms in our sector.

We conclude with a closer look at China as the latest stop for our “Keys to the Market” segment.
