What it is
Cialfo for Universities is a web platform for higher education institutions planning international undergraduate recruitment. It combines recruitment analytics, application management, student engagement, scholarship promotion, and connections with prospective students. Higher Ed Insights provides real-time market and school trends, peer comparisons, regional analytics, and a university conversion funnel. Universities can receive, manage, and track applications from qualified students in more than 105 countries. They can engage students, counselors, and families through virtual events, webinars, fairs, and school visits, and customize scholarship promotions. Cialfo says it partners with more than 1,000 higher education institutions and connects them with 310,000 students worldwide. Student Education Advisors support college searches, applications, and departure services, while a VFS Global partnership provides visa guidance during application and enrollment. Connections identifies interested students, counselors, and guardians for direct outreach. Data can be exported to a university’s Slate instance through SFTP, including recurring daily exports after setup. Cialfo says data is encrypted in transit using TLS with Perfect Forward Secrecy and describes security testing, DDoS protection, backups, and recovery drills. Pricing is available on request.
