Lets face it, every employee at ITT-Tech is tasked formally, or informally, with recruitment and retention. On ITT-Tech's job search website, it is clear what is important to ITT-Tech.
In the category of regular full-time employees there are 3 full pages of listings under "student recruitment" but only 2 and a half pages of listings for "academic affairs."
Here is job overview for this position, on ITT-Tech's job posting website for recruiters: "An Admissions Representative identifies, interviews, and facilitates the enrollment of prospective students in a program of study offered by the school."
