Recruiting for Higher Education Academic Counseling

The 23 CSU campuses set a strategic initiative to increase graduation goals for 2025. The Division of Undergraduate Education and Academic Planning is vital in supporting students through their undergrad journey. To meet this goal, San Francisco State decided to expand its Academic Counseling team by filling 17 roles within 6 weeks.

Sacramento State University was hiring for a Senior Director of Accounting Services within Financial Services. This role would manage the University’s financial records and needed both accounting and management experience.

The Challenge

The incumbent for this position required both accounting and management experience, while also understanding the CSU system and the nuances of accounting within higher education. Sacramento State had tried recruiting for this role independently for months, and were struggling to find candidates who would be both a technical skill fit and cultural fit. To find the right candidate, it was necessary to have in-depth conversations with applicants – and the in-house team at the University did not have the bandwidth for those conversations.

The Solution

We worked closely with the hiring managers to create a personalized sourcing plan, including direct outreach and a custom landing page. In addition to more traditional avenues, Another Source launched a targeted social media campaign to identify candidates from new channels.

The Result

Since their engagement with Another Source, SF State grew their Advising Team from approximately 30 to 50 counselors.

“We are so pleased with how the engagement with Another Source went. To be honest, I am a bit astounded by how successful we were with the hiring. I so, so appreciate the work of you and your team. Thank you so much!” – Kim Altura, Associate Dean, Division of Undergraduate Education
