For many institutions, successful international student recruitment is inextricably linked to trusted agent partnerships, some of which have existed for a decade or more. In this PIE Chat Live we will be exploring how successful agents have evolved their business structure to support other areas of the recruitment pipeline for institutional partners including in-country offices and personnel, delivery of pathways and language testing and much more. We'll be discussing how these different business units are structured and if there is an inherent conflict of interest working with a commission-based recruitment partner for academic or operational services.

Joining us on this LIVE session is Golam Mortuza, the CEO and Founder of MH Global Group, a private holding company that operates one of the UK's biggest recruiting agents AHZ. In 2024, MH Global Group launched a ground-breaking academic partnership with NCUK to deliver foundation programmes in-country in Bangladesh, a move that is expected to dramatically open up the undergraduate market.

We'll be discussing how this relationship came about and how trust and income earned as an agent have played an important part in the evolution of other services and solutions for the UK higher education industry.
