ICEF Podcast: Live from Berlin: Current trends in international student recruitment

Recorded live at the 2024 edition of ICEF Berlin, ICEF’s Craig Riggs and Martijn van de Veen look back at some notable seminar sessions from the event. They include a featured panel from ICEF Digital on balancing the human factor with automation in student recruitment, and a big picture session that explored the two major trends that will shape the future of recruitment for the rest of this decade.

The episode otherwise features interviews with eight industry leaders in Berlin, who all generously shared their perspectives on the most important issues and trends in the sector today: Holly Sanders, Chief Transformation Officer, World Education Services; Matt Hird, Director of Sales, Malvern International Plc; Brett Blacker, Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand, Duolingo; Ilaria Bossi, Head Manager - International Marketing and Recruitment, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore; Kofi Agyeman-Duah Boachie-Danquah, Global Sales Manager - International Hub, Private University of Applied Sciences, Göttingen; Reka Lenart, Association Manager, ALTO; Hannah Youell, Diversity & Inclusion Advisor, International House World Organisation; and Sushil Sukhwani, Director, Edwise International.

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