Created for You, the Collegiate Recruiter

At Accoladi, we recognize the unique challenge collegiate music recruiters face. With reduced budgets and increasing pressure to find and secure next year’s freshman class, many recruiters are expected to do more with less. Often, the burden of building a program’s future falls on the shoulders of deans, department heads, and directors—who are also balancing teaching, performances, and academic leadership.

Meanwhile, recruiting through social media is unpredictable and constantly shifting, with platforms and trends changing faster than most institutions can keep up. The cost of attending college fairs—only to interact with unqualified or disinterested students—wastes both time and resources. Add to that the exhausting travel and setup required for music educator conferences and conventions, which often yield minimal recruiting results, and it’s clear the current model is broken. Accoladi understands these frustrations—and was built to change that.

That’s where Accoladi steps in.

We are your partner in the collegiate journey for performing arts students. We’re not here to add pressure—we’re here to relieve it. We serve as a trusted guide for your students and their families, helping them navigate the path ahead with clarity and confidence. Whether your students plan to major in music, serve in the military, pursue another major while staying connected to the arts, or build a career in the creative economy—Accoladi equips them for success and eases the weight on your shoulders.
