Higher ed consulting built on data, enrollment strategy, and managed services
Collegis Education operates a consulting and managed services practice for colleges and universities, grounded in Salesforce, Slate (enrollment platform), and analytics tooling (Google Analytics, HubSpot, SQL). The hiring acceleration is concentrated in support and data roles — matching active projects around data collection audits, dataflow design, and student onboarding — while security and compliance challenges dominate their pain-point list, signaling a shift toward tighter governance and fraud prevention in institutional operations.
Collegis Education is a higher education consulting firm serving colleges and universities across enrollment growth, student retention, and institutional data strategy. Founded in 1996 and based in Oak Brook, Illinois, the company operates as a privately held firm with 201–500 employees.

They work with Salesforce and Slate as core platforms for customer relationship and enrollment management, and deploy Google Analytics and HubSpot for demand generation and campaign tracking. Unlike project-based consulting, Collegis positions itself as a long-term partner, offering flexible contracts and retaining transparency around client data ownership.
