Turing School of Software & Design is seeking a Recruitment Manager to join our growing team onsite in downtown Denver, CO.

Turing offers intensive, full-time, instructional programs for adults working to become professional software developers. Turing is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to train a diverse, inclusive student body to succeed in high-fulfillment technical careers.

We’ve built a strong academic program and track record of student success. We’ve recruited, graduated, and helped find employment for nearly a thousand students. But after five years, recruitment and enrollment are still a challenge. We have the capacity for 392 students to graduate from our existing programs each year. But classes regularly start with open seats leading to gaps in our revenue and more importantly, gaps in our impact.

This position is being created to specifically target two of our five 2019 Achievements:

1. Demographics
   Purpose: To fulfill our mission we must increase the diversity of incoming students and ensure it remains through graduation.
   Metric: Our racial and gender demographics are representative (+/- 3%) of the racial and gender demographics of Denver County.

2. Enrollment
   Purpose: For both our organizational financial stability and to allow ample time for students to complete our prep class (“Mod 0”), we want classes (beginning every 7 weeks) to fill up with confirmed students far in advance of the start date.
   Metric: Each cohort is 90% enrolled 90 days before the start date
    

To ensure the success of our students and organization, the Recruitment Manager will work towards those achievements and own the challenge of getting success-ready students into the program by:

• Analyzing data and trends to develop a comprehensive and strategic recruitment plan

• Operationalizing the recruitment plan, setting and achieving set-forth milestones and objectives

• Managing a cohesive recruitment team including our Brand Coordinator, Enrollment Manager, and related contractors

• Testing, measuring and refining recruitment efforts in short intervals  

• Reviewing our engagement-to-applicant tracking system/processes to find and implement ways to optimize the funnel, and increase the matriculation rate amongst interested and admitted applicants

• Strategizing and running recruitment efforts for new programs or pilot programs such as our Second Shift evening classes

• Working with the Sr. Director of Operations to set the vision of student recruitment for the future
