"Due diligence isn't something you just do once and forget, it's a continuous process. AgentBee is a valuable resource for HEIs working with international student recruitment agents. AgentBee can provide HEIs with access to up-to-date reports on the activities of their current and potential future agent partners. It should, in my view, be a standard resource used by HEIs to protect both future students and HEI reputations."
