American College Dublin is a prestigious third-level educational institution offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in a variety of fields, including business, arts, and humanities. Based in Dublin, the college is committed to providing world-class education while fostering a supportive, enriching environment for students and staff.
As the college continued to grow, hiring top talent for key administrative and managerial roles became critical to maintaining its standards and expanding its services.
Rowland Crawte, the Director of Administration, faced several challenges in the recruitment process:
Traditional recruitment methods weren’t yielding applicants with the right experience or alignment with the college’s culture.
Managing the high volume of applications from less-qualified candidates led to significant administrative burden for Rowland and his team.
The existing process made it hard to identify the most qualified individuals quickly.
Hiring through traditional agencies was proving to be too expensive for the college.
American College Dublin needed a cost-effective, efficient solution to attract top talent, especially for strategic roles like Assistant Director of Enrolment Management, that required a mix of experience, expertise, and a deep understanding of higher education.
After exploring options, Rowland decided to partner with ecruit, selecting the Headhunter and Advertiser Package, which combined:
With the ability to access highly qualified passive candidates, ecruit’s headhunting service allowed the college to tap into a talent pool that would have otherwise remained untapped through traditional job boards alone.
In addition to headhunting, ecruit’s Advertiser Package ensured that the college’s roles were posted across a variety of job boards, providing access to a larger and more diverse pool of candidates.
This made recruitment more affordable, eliminating high agency commissions and giving the college the ability to manage costs effectively.
The ecruit team worked closely with Rowland, ensuring the campaign was tailored to the specific needs of the college, and providing continuous support and guidance throughout the recruitment process.
Using ecruit, American College Dublin successfully filled their Assistant Director of Enrolment Management position with a highly qualified candidate.
The role of Assistant Director of Enrolment Management was filled with the right candidate who met the college’s experience and cultural requirements.
Compared to using traditional recruitment agencies, the college saved significantly on fees while securing a top-tier candidate.
The ecruit platform generated a solid pool of candidates, increasing the diversity and quality of applicants.
ecruit’s team introduced 9 highly qualified candidates for the role, making it easier for Rowland and his team to narrow down the shortlist.
After conducting initial calls, the team narrowed down the list to 2 strong candidates and ultimately made a hire from this group.
The process was significantly faster and more efficient, allowing the college to hire quickly without compromising on the quality of candidates.
Rowland praised the overall experience with ecruit, especially the quality of candidates and the efficiency of the process:
“Efficient process that produces high-quality candidates.”

Rowland appreciated the fact that ecruit’s approach saved time and reduced administrative work, which allowed him to focus on other important tasks. He was particularly impressed with the headhunting approach, which gave him access to candidates he otherwise wouldn’t have seen.
