Issue a badge,
and the marketing starts

When graduates share their badge, your institution and program get organic exposure,
and interested people move through the verification page to sign up for the next cohort.

What is Kolleges recruitment automation?

Kolleges recruitment automation turns the flow — a graduate shares their digital badge on social → traffic to the verification page → next-cohort signup → re-engagement in a
linked course — into a loop automated with zero ad spend.
It's built for education providers, academies, and communities that run cohort-based programs.

The recruiter's problem

Sound familiar?

Reviews keep piling up,
but they never connect to the next cohort

Every cycle, you restart
promotion from scratch

You have an advanced course,
but graduates don't even know

The shift

When issuance is a start, not an end,
promotion runs on its own.

The recruitment-automation loop

How does one badge lead to the next cohort?

Share → traffic → apply → re-engage. Build the funnel once, and it repeats itself every cohort.

STEP 1 Issue Auto-issued on completion
STEP 2 Share Voluntary social sharing
STEP 3 Traffic Visit the verify page
STEP 4 Apply Next-cohort signup
STEP 5 Re-engage Linked-course suggestion

    The moment they finish, issuance is already done

    Badges are issued automatically when you upload a roster or completion criteria are met. See how issuance and verification work on the Digital Badges & Certificates page.

    Graduate sharing creates
    institution exposure without ads

    When a graduate who received a badge shares it on social media, your institution name and program appear organically in their followers' feeds — graduates become a zero-cost promo team. At UD IMPACT, about 68% of graduates shared their badge right after the first issuance.

    One click becomes one visit

    Someone who sees the badge on social media clicks through and confirms your institution and program right on the verification page. The badge link itself becomes a traffic channel to your site.

    From interest to signup, all on one page

    At the bottom of the verification page, an application button for the open program and a tailored promo banner appear automatically. Someone who came to check a badge can sign up for the next cohort without bouncing.

    Completion isn't the end — it's the entrance to the next course

    Graduates are automatically guided to a linked-course badge. Framed as a 'next step' rather than an ad, it leads to re-enrollment without resistance. Build the funnel once and it repeats every cohort.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most before teams adopt recruitment automation.

Sharing prompts are built in from the moment of issuance.

SNS share buttons and an Open Graph preview card are inserted automatically into the badge email and the verification page, and your institution can adjust the share-prompt copy and image directly.
