Hi Luke,
I have recently partnered with a company to conduct a virtual recruitment. A few suggestions that may help you-
Software- Several companies are holding virtual recruitments already, and may have the software/platforms to conduct virtual recruitments. So you can possibly partner up with them to conduct your virtual fair/recruitment if they are open to it. For our recruitment, the company already had access to the platform Zoom. Participants did also have an option to phone in.
Logistics- Initially the virtual recruitment covered 2 days, with 3 sessions at an hour each, and 15-20 participants for each session. We ended up adding 2 more days due to participants not receiving registration confirmation– It was discovered that the confirmations were going into participant’s spam/junk mail. So it is imperative that if you use an emailing system, that you do follow-ups with those who are pre-registered for your event (this can be done through text, phone call, social media posts)
One thing we did find to be an issue is giving enough time or a platform for participants to ask questions. We felt we could have done more/or improve in that area. A suggestion was to have an additional recruiter to answer questions in the chat box.
Hope that helps.
