The GRE Search Service is an Internet-based student recruitment tool that allows graduate institutions to identify potential graduate school candidates.
"The market spoke and we responded," said Craig Heldman, CEO, Hobsons. "With expanded accessibility and new user-friendly features, the GRE Search Service allows institutions across the globe* to easily leverage valuable student data to shape incoming classes and drive enrollment."
Becoming a GRE Search Service user enables graduate and business programs to draw comprehensive information from a diverse candidate pool of more than 400,000 prospective students from more than 200 countries, while generating candidate mailing lists based upon the institution's preferred criteria.
"We have been working to increase the flexibility and usefulness of the GRE Search Service and are very pleased to be able to offer the service to institutions outside the United States and U.S. territories," said David G. Payne, VP and COO for College and Graduate Programs at ETS. "With graduate student recruitment becoming globally competitive, this online service is an essential tool that helps graduate and business schools to be very strategic in their recruitment and outreach efforts."
The GRE Search Service includes many user-friendly features that make the tool easy to use for graduate institutions from regions throughout the world.

receive customized data, including student demographics, enrollment
factors, and GRE test score bands
