After powering nearly 2,000 virtual career fairs, we’ve learned a lot of valuable lessons, and we’re ready to share them with you.

In this webinar, Premier Virtual CEO, Steve Edwards will be joined by a group of existing customers, that have hosted their own virtual hiring events. The purpose of this webinar is to learn first-hand the most difficult challenges transitioning from in-person to virtual, the pros and the cons, and what the career fair landscape looks like moving forward.

One thing is certain, virtual career fairs have changed staffing and recruiting forever, and those who have experienced them believe they are here to stay. If you’ve been debating whether or not to go virtual, or you’ve attended virtual events and are now ready to host your own, this is a great place to start. We also look forward to the input from attendees who have their own lessons to share.

The webinar will be a round table Q&A forum and will be followed by a short demo of the Premier Virtual platform. We look forward to seeing you there! The webinar starts at 2 PM

These are some of the lessons we’ll be discussing:

1. How prepared were you to pivot to all virtual when Covid hit?
2. What were the biggest challenges you had to overcome, within your organization, in order to begin hosting virtual career fairs?
3. What are the top 3 benefits of virtual career fairs?
4. What are the most common challenges recruiters and attendees mention?
5. In terms of efficiency, effectiveness, and results, have you seen an increase with virtual over in-person career fairs, any specific examples?
6. As the world moves towards in-person and live events, what role do you see virtual playing?
7. What other tools or features do you wish virtual career fair platforms could offer?
8. Advice for organizations that remain hesitant to introduce virtual to their staffing strategy.
