Key Takeaways

  • Customize your site with your tailored domain, branding, welcome text, and requirements to create a comprehensive, unified experience for your applicants. 
  • Allow students to complete application forms, request letters of reference, add portfolios, and even pay application fees if required. 
  • Streamline the entire process and manage applications easily by coordinating reviewer assignments, applicant segmentation, and ongoing communication. 
  • Select candidates with collaborative evaluation tools that help you make decisions as a team through a secure online review portal. 
  • Implement easily with no additional IT resources required. 

Programs looking to increase the diversity of their incoming classes and appeal to a broader set of applicants need comprehensive capabilities and holistic processes that expand admissions insights and deliver results. Liaison’s SlideRoom, a cloud-based system for comprehensive portfolio management and review, makes it all possible  

With SlideRoom, you can direct applicants to your custom domain and greet them with your logo, colors, and messaging. It allows you to create and edit a live directory of your opportunities, giving applicants a preview of all your instructions and requirements before they get started. As a result, the application process becomes polished and painless, reflecting an outward expression of your brand. 

Producing your own application and reference forms is also seamless with SlideRoom’s drag and drop form builder.  

You can create the best simple survey or extensive questionnaire for your program using live previews to compose questions, help text, question types, and input requirements. The form builder also gives you an additional layer of efficiency by leveraging the answers to segment pools of applicants and control how the data is exported. 

SlideRoom offers other advanced capabilities in all aspects of the process, improving the overall experience with: 

Letters of reference | Collect references from teachers, mentors, and other third parties, who will receive an email when applicants make the request and a link to a private portal for adding their feedback. References can be provided as plain text, PDF upload, or with your own evaluation form. 

Multimedia portfolios | Assess applicant merit in any field with a holistic portfolio of work that brings their abilities to life. SlideRoom accepts images, audio, video, and interactive content like 3D models, as well as embedded media from YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, and SketchFab. 

Collaborative decision making | Dynamically create applicant segments and automatically assign them to committees or individuals for review. SlideRoom was designed for teams that like evaluating together as well as jury panels that rate privately and combine scores later. Evaluation features include custom scorecards, tagging, commenting, highlighting, and status flags. 

Dashboards and data visibility | Gain insights into global applicant and reviewer activity with real-time dashboards. Program level reports provide detailed breakdowns about top applicants, help monitor the evaluation process and provide shortcuts to specific groups. 

You can easily export data to spreadsheets, PDFs, and files, and then sync everything with your IT systems via SlideRoom’s API. 

SlideRoom allows you to explore populations, visualize geography, and construct charts that display aggregate visualizations of data from any lists you choose to build. The graphical interface is simple to use and provides a quick way to look at contacts from multiple points of view. 

SlideRoom is an online system that your applicants and entire team will love using. Its design combines a modern look and feel with robust security and power. 

Here are just some of the reasons institutions like yours chose SlideRoom: 

  • Modern interface | SlideRoom’s design allows operators to customize settings and requirements without the need for expensive developers or IT support. 
  • Easily customized | SlideRoom is easily tailored to fit your application and review process. Robust evaluation tools and user permissions accommodate every situation. 
  • Unlimited seats | You can invite as many administrators or reviewers as needed without increasing cost. 
  • World-class support | The SlideRoom team is here to help you succeed, available by phone during setup and available online should applicants need assistance. 

Security and Reliability Are Essential
