In-Event Hiring Just Got Easier With vFairs’ New Job Fair Updates

As an event organizer, you know that connecting job seekers with the right employers is key to making your job fairs successful. However, managing job applications, recruiter interactions, and candidate tracking can be overwhelming. That’s where vFairs’ new hiring tools come in.

Imagine you spent months planning the perfect job fair, but candidates leave frustrated by complicated applications, while recruiters complain they can’t find qualified talent and track candidate progress during the event. Well, not to worry because vFairs has just launched new hiring features that make your in-event hiring simpler and quicker than ever before.

Let’s explore how it solves critical challenges for each stakeholder.

Solving the Candidate Experience Challenge

Many hiring fairs lose qualified talent to confusing systems and clunky application workflows. With vFairs, candidates can easily build polished, recruiter-friendly profiles that showcase their skills and experience. Smart job alerts connect them with the right roles quickly, while simplified application flows reduce drop-offs and encourage more completions. The result is a smoother candidate experience that drives higher engagement, satisfaction, and event ROI.

Job Seekers Get a Frictionless Experience

The updates to our hiring features in job fairs eliminate this friction by creating optimized forms, easy application submission, and smart matchmaking of applicants with recruiters.

This is exactly what our hiring tools were designed to fix:

  • Easy Registration & Customizable Forms: Quickly sign up and share relevant details without unnecessary steps.
  • Job Discovery & Filtering: Search and filter jobs by industry, location, job type, and other key criteria.
  • AI-powered job Recommendations: Get personalized role suggestions based on skills and preferences.
  • Effortless Applications: Upload resumes, answer screening questions, and submit cover letters in just a few clicks.
  • Job Alerts: Stay informed about new opportunities with automated notifications.

Meeting Recruiters’ Evolving Needs

Your exhibitors don’t just want resumes; they need efficient ways to identify and connect with top talent. Let’s say a hospital at your job fair is recruiting for its hospital system, needing 50 specialized nurses by quarter’s end, and they receive hundreds of applications. Now, manually sorting CVs for ICU/ER/Pediatric specialists would eat up precious time.

Recruiters Gain Powerful Hiring Tools 

 Our hiring tools will help hiring teams manage all their in-event applications without missing any top candidates. The portal gives them:

  • Candidate Search & AI Recommendations: Quickly find qualified applicants with smart matching.
  • 1:1 & Group Meetings: Schedule and conduct interviews directly within the platform.
  • Application Management: Track, review, and shortlist candidates in one centralized dashboard.
  • Customizable Tags & Stages: Organize applicants and monitor their progress through the hiring pipeline.
  • Real-Time Chat: Communicate with job seekers instantly without switching tools.

Your Control Center for Hiring Success

Managing a large volume of candidates across various points in the hiring pipeline can become overwhelming during a live event. For example, when a major financial institution joins your career summit with 200+ open roles, tracking every posting manually becomes impossible. Our dashboard gives you real-time visibility across all opportunities. No need to fill and maintain spreadsheets anymore.

You Maintain Complete Control

While candidates and recruiters enjoy a smooth hiring experience, organizers get powerful tools to manage every moving part:

  • Assign recruiter tasks and track progress with built-in task management.
  • Customize booths with updated booth builder tools that make setup easy.
  • Approve job postings quickly with centralized job management.
  • Support hybrid events with tools built for both virtual and on-site hiring.

Why Event Organizers Choose This Solution

With vFairs, you’re not just organizing an event; you’re guaranteeing measurable results for recruiters and candidates alike.

These updated hiring features are made just for recruiting events. Unlike generic job boards or tools that don’t work well together, this gives you full control of the hiring process from start to end. You can customize how candidates apply, track everything in real time, and manage events of any size, from small career fairs to large hybrid hiring events.
