Goal for Alumni Employment Info?

Tom Klimchak · July 2017

Hi... Would anyone be willing to share (in public or via private message) the ballpark percentage of alumni for which you have solid employment info? What you have in Raiser's Edge may be different from what your formal outcomes are. Formal outcomes are often the result of polling, whereas the data in your alumni database is "actionable" info...

We're a mid-sized private university and have full employment and contact info for about 39% of our alumni. We're hoping to implement an alumni survey program later this year and I'd love some feedback or suggestions for where we "should" be compared to others... Thanks!

Tom,

Ours is about the same. I've attached a document I create each July that outlines where we are missing information along with general numbers to give folks an idea on totals.

Thank you! That's pretty interesting.... We haven't broken our population out the same way, but now that I'm looking at things we're also kind of low on email: Our email percentage is only about 50% right now, though we're guessing that *most* everyone has email by now.

That is interesting. Thanks very much for sharing. How much were you able to directly get from RE and how much required formulas in Excel?

There are a few formulas but most of the information came via queries.
