A New Chapter for Edvisor: Big Changes to How Schools Recruit

International student recruitment has never been more competitive. The agencies you rely on are quoting your competitors in the same proposal. Students are researching across more markets than ever. And the schools that win are the ones that can see clearly — who's driving enrolments, where the opportunities are, and how to move faster than the institution next door.

That's the problem Edvisor has been working on. We're the platform where 5,000+ agencies in 80+ countries discover, quote, and enrol students into 700+ schools — with live pricing, real-time profiles, and a full distribution toolkit for managing your agent network.

But over the past year, we've been listening hard to what's been missing. The schools that grow fastest on Edvisor want more than a distribution channel. They want a complete recruitment platform — one that handles both B2B and direct sales, gives them visibility into how they're performing across the network, and helps them spot the next opportunity before their competitors do.

Today we're opening the next chapter. A major set of updates is rolling out over the coming weeks, starting May 18. Each one came directly from what schools have been asking for.

For years, schools have worked across two separate Edvisor apps — Edvisor for Agents for direct recruiting, and Edvisor Distribute for managing the agency network. It worked, but it meant two logins, two interfaces, and a constant mental tax of switching between them.

That's changing. Edvisor for Agents and Edvisor Distribute are merging into a single Edvisor app with two modes: Recruiting Mode for B2B and B2C recruiting, and Inventory Mode for managing your programs and agency network. One login, one platform, one source of truth.

Your team gets the full picture in one place — and the platform finally works the way your business actually does.

Most schools have a vague sense of how their agency network is doing — which markets are growing, which agents are sending students, how they stack up against competitors. But "vague" doesn't help you make decisions.

School Insights changes that. Track and analyse your performance across the entire Edvisor network with agency scorecards that show which partners are actually driving enrolments, competitive analysis that benchmarks your school against peers, and reach metrics that show how your programs are being discovered and quoted across the marketplace.

The result: you stop guessing where to invest your time, your marketing, and your partnership efforts.

Schools have always been able to publish programs and manage agents on Edvisor. But when it came to recruiting direct students — running pipelines, sending proposals, recording sales — most schools were still doing it in spreadsheets or a separate CRM.

That's now built in. The full Edvisor sales toolkit — pipelines, proposals, sales — is available to every school. Whether you're recruiting B2C through your own website or managing direct enrolments alongside your agency channel, your admissions team has the same powerful tools that agencies have relied on for years.

One platform for everything you sell, to everyone you sell to.

What this all means

Each of these features is useful on its own. But the bigger story is what they add up to.

Edvisor is becoming the operating system for international student recruitment. Not just a distribution channel — but where you manage your network, recruit direct, track your competitive position, and grow into new markets. One platform, one source of truth, one place your whole team works.

If you've been on Edvisor for a while, the next few weeks are going to feel like a serious upgrade. If you're new here, this is a great moment to take a fresh look at what we do.
