July 30th, 2025 – El Segundo, CA – NEOED, a leading provider of cloud-based human resources software for higher education, has been honored with the Integration Excellence award at the 2024 Ellucian Partner Awards.

In today’s higher education landscape, institutions are under more pressure than ever to attract, develop, and retain top talent. Budget constraints, shifting student demands, and increased competition for skilled staff and faculty have made employee engagement a strategic priority. Mentorship is one of the most effective — and often underutilized — tools to combat this challenge. This guide breaks down five actionable steps for designing a tech-powered mentorship program that supports employee growth, retention, and long-term institutional success.  

Offering candidates a competitive salary is one of the more effective ways to attract top talent – but for 60% of higher education recruiters, offering higher pay is their number one recruiting challenge.

NEOED is excited to announce the launch of SchoolJobs.com, sister site to the #1 public sector job board GovernmentJobs.com. Like GovernmentJobs.com before it, SchoolJobs.com is focused on the promotion of career opportunities in education, as well as sourcing candidates that are specifically looking to work in education. SchoolJobs.com will cater to HR professionals and job seekers in the K-12 and higher education sectors (including universities, colleges, and community colleges). To celebrate the occasion, SchoolJobs.com is offering employers at educational institutions free one-year subscriptions to post unlimited job listings.

In a post-pandemic world, a proactive outreach to younger candidates for higher education institutions will be crucial to offsetting an impending wave of retirements, as well as setting institutions up for future success. Millennial and Gen Z workers tend to look for different things in jobs than their Gen X and Baby Boomer predecessors did, but there are still many higher ed job perks that are appealing to this rapidly growing portion of the workforce. Taking these perks and benefits into consideration when you build out your employer brand and refine your recruitment process will help you get the best talent possible from Millennial and Gen Z pools.

The effects of the pandemic and shift to remote work have upended how many educational institutions onboard new positions. From addressing logistical paperwork challenges, acclimating new employees who may have only met their manager virtually, to conducting 30, 60, and 90 day check-ins via Zoom, HR directors have had to vastly shift their approach to how new hires embark their first days and months.
