Can't be everywhere? Wren can.
There are more promising recruitment opportunities in the world than there are people, travel days, and dollars to pursue them.
Global Admissions OnCall from Wren Tours provides institutions with trained, temporary admissions representation in select global markets, giving your team a credible presence when sending one of your own staff members simply isn’t practical.
Whether you’re exploring an emerging market, navigating a difficult travel calendar, working within tighter recruitment budgets, or looking to get more from Wren’s global programming, OnCall offers another way to be there.
Representing an institution well requires more than standing behind a table and distributing brochures.
Before an OnCall assignment, Wren works directly with your admissions team through a structured onboarding and training process. We learn what makes your institution distinctive, which students you hope to reach, how you talk about your programs and community, and which questions require the expertise of someone back on campus.
The objective is straightforward: to prepare a knowledgeable representative who can speak confidently about your institution while knowing precisely where representation ends and your admissions team begins.
Your OnCall representative can:
Introduce your institution to prospective students, families, and counselors
Communicate agreed-upon institutional messages and priorities
Highlight academic programs, scholarships, student experiences, and admissions pathways
Participate in designated school visits, fairs, and recruitment activities
Capture student inquiries and expressions of interest
Identify questions requiring personalized follow-up from your admissions team
Share observations and market intelligence following the program
Sometimes the opportunity is compelling—but another airfare, another week away, or another international itinerary simply isn't.
OnCall can be particularly useful when your institution wants to:
TEST A MARKET
Explore student interest and counselor relationships before committing significant resources to a new country or region.
EXTEND YOUR REACH
Add representation in markets your existing travel calendar cannot accommodate.
MAKE LIMITED RESOURCES GO FURTHER
Maintain meaningful recruitment activity while managing staffing and travel-budget constraints.
STAY PRESENT
Continue cultivating important markets even when circumstances prevent your own staff from traveling.
SUPPLEMENT A GLOBAL STRATEGY
Use OnCall selectively alongside your institution’s existing international recruitment—not in place of the relationships and expertise your own team brings to the work.
01 | We Listen
We begin with a conversation about your institution, recruitment strategy, target audiences, and what you hope to accomplish in the market.
02 | We Learn Your Institution
Your designated representative completes an institution-specific briefing covering academics, admissions, scholarships, student experience, key differentiators, frequently asked questions, and your preferred messaging.
03 | We Represent
Your OnCall representative participates in the agreed-upon Wren Tour activities as your temporary institutional representative—meeting students and counselors and creating meaningful points of connection.
04 | We Capture
Student inquiries and relevant contacts are collected through established Wren processes so your admissions team can continue the conversation.
05 | We Hand It Back to You
Following the program, your team receives the resulting inquiries along with relevant observations from the field. The goal isn't simply to attend on your behalf. It's to give your team something useful to build upon.
Representation built around reputation and preparation.
We begin with a conversation about your institution, recruitment strategy, target audiences, and what you hope to accomplish in the market.
Wren Tours works in international recruitment every day. We understand the difference between knowing an institution’s talking points and knowing how to have a useful conversation with a prospective student.
That distinction matters.
Our approach to OnCall combines institution-specific preparation with Wren's experience in global recruitment environments. Representatives operate within clearly established parameters and never attempt to substitute for institutional expertise where direct follow-up is more appropriate.
And because OnCall representation takes place within select Wren programs, it benefits from the same infrastructure supporting the tour itself: carefully planned school engagement, local logistics, relationship development, inquiry collection, and experienced on-the-ground support.
Global Admissions OnCall is intentionally offered on a selective basis. Availability depends on the Wren program, destination, institutional fit, and our ability to provide the level of preparation and representation the assignment deserves.
That means the best place to begin isn't a registration form.
It's a conversation.
Tell us where your institution is hoping to go, where your team can't currently be, or which Wren program has caught your attention. We'll talk through whether OnCall makes sense, what representation could look like, the training and contracting process, availability, and pricing
Your next recruitment market may be closer than you think.
