What is Apply Here?
Recruiting agencies place students into universities abroad, and most run that work across inboxes, forms and spreadsheets. Apply Here puts the whole pipeline in one console, from a student's first profile to a placement that pays.
One console for partners, agents, students and schools
A recruiting partner sees every student and application under their firm, adds agents to share the load, and reconciles commission from the same place the applications are submitted. Students, programs and payments all live against the placement they belong to.
Why is placing students abroad so hard to run on email?
A single placement touches a student, an agent, a partner and a school, and the documents that gate it arrive in fragments. Run on inboxes and spreadsheets, the profile, the program choice and the commission all drift apart the moment volume grows.
| Placing a student | Email and spreadsheets | Inside Apply Here |
|---|---|---|
| Student profile | Documents emailed back and forth | One multi-step profile with documents attached |
| Finding a program | A course list kept per agent | A searchable catalogue of schools and programs |
| Submitting an application | Forms re-keyed for each school | Applied from the program page in a guided flow |
| The application fee | Collected off to one side | Paid at submission and tied to the application |
| Agent oversight | Updates chased by message | Every agent's students visible under the partner |
| Commission | Reconciled in a spreadsheet | Tracked per placement with a payment history |
What does a recruiter actually work in?
The screens an agent moves through to take a student from a browse of schools to a submitted, paid application.
How did we design and build it?
The platform had to feel like one pipeline to four different kinds of user, so the work started with the record every one of them shares, the student, and grew outward from there.
How does a browse become a paid placement?
This is the path a single placement travels, and it is the argument for the platform: each step hands off to the person who owns it, and nothing is chased by email in between.
- 01
Profile is built
An agent creates the student and fills the profile across its steps, attaching the documents a school needs.
Agent - 02
Program is matched
The catalogue is searched and filtered until a school and program fit the student's record.
Agent - 03
Application is submitted
The student's record is applied into the chosen program through the guided application flow.
Agent - 04
Fee is paid
The application fee is taken at submission, so a submitted application is a paid one.
Student - 05
Progress is tracked
The application appears in the partner's list, where its stage is visible instead of asked for.
Partner - 06
Commission is recorded
When the placement earns, estimated and received commission land in the payment history against it.

Four roles, one pipeline
A recruiting partner, an agent, a student and an administrator see the same platform through different permissions, so each works with what they own and nothing they do not.
- Browse schools and programs
- Create and manage students
- Submit applications
- Add and manage agents
- Track commission and payments
Building a study-abroad application platform
What recruitment agencies ask us first about a platform like Apply Here.
Ask us yoursWhat is Apply Here?
Apply Here is a study-abroad application platform for recruitment agencies. Recruiting partners and their agents build a student profile, search a catalogue of overseas schools and programs, submit an application and take the fee, then track the placement and the commission it earns, all from one role-based console instead of email and spreadsheets.
How long does it take to build a study-abroad application platform?
A platform at this shape, a searchable school and program catalogue, a multi-step student profile, an application-and-payment flow and role-based access for partners and agents, is a multi-phase build rather than a few weeks. What moves the date most is how many roles need separate permissions and whether payments and commission are in scope. We phase it so the catalogue and student profile ship before the commission reporting.
Can it manage sub-agents under a recruiting partner?
Yes. A recruiting partner adds and manages agents from their own account, and every student and application an agent creates stays visible under the partner. That gives an agency a shared view of who is at which stage without one agent seeing another agency's students.
How is commission tracked?
Commission is tracked against the application that earned it, not in a separate ledger. Estimated and received amounts appear in a payment history tied to each placement, so an agency can see what a submitted application is expected to return and what has actually come in.
