Shaker Recruitment Advertising & Communications recently hosted two virtual networking career fairs for CTJobs.com and Allstate Insurance Corporation.
On May 19, CTJobs.com hosted its first virtual career fair, CTJobs.com LIVE! The event was created to host a regionally focused virtual career fair for the State of Connecticut. The career fair brought in more than 1,800 job seekers throughout the state, with 14 local companies exhibiting and recruiting for hiring opportunities.
“Our goal was to reach 1,000 job seekers for our first CTJobs.com LIVE! event, and in partnership with our affiliate newspapers, we surpassed that mark with overwhelming positive feedback from both the exhibitors and job seekers,” Tina Krater, director of virtual career fair events and director of sales for Shaker, said.
On May 20, Allstate Insurance Corporation hosted a nationwide virtual career fair for exclusive agent and exclusive financial representative opportunities. For this event, recruiting teams staffed individual booths by geographic region to recruit local candidates.
“The virtual career fair allowed Allstate to make greater use of technology to find the right people for our agent and financial representative opportunities,” Laura Stojkovic, senior HR consultant and Allstate project lead, said. “The virtual environment made it easy for candidates to submit their resumes for opportunities that matched their qualifications, have a live chat with our Allstate recruiters, or set up a phone interview.
“This was our first exclusive virtual fair, and we had a strong response from more than 1,700 candidates,” she added. “Allstate will definitely consider leveraging virtual career fairs as part of our recruiting strategies going forward.”
At the beginning of this year, Shaker partnered with InXpo to provide companies with a solutions package that includes training, support and guidance to pre- and post-event marketing for audience generation to help attract talent by hosting virtual career fairs.
