The Rise Of Virtual Job Fairs

Posted by catalystcareergroupon April 17, 2020April 17, 2020in Virtual Hiring

Unemployment is rising and more than ever, people are looking for a new job. With restrictions in place surrounding close proximity, we are seeing a rise in the area of virtual job fairs!

This is becoming the quickest alternative to “pounding the pavement” or even in-person interviews right now.

This is one of the best ways to get information about remote jobs, the culture of a company, and discover which organizations have flexibility in work schedule.

Realtime Chat & Video

Virtual job fairs also give candidates and employers to talk in realtime through chat. If there is a good match via the chat, employers will often initiate a next level video pre-interview to learn more about the job seeker!

Fresh Resume Database

Another one of the biggest benefits to virtual job fairs is the ability to have the most recent resume profiles available for a very select location.

Employers appreciate being able to review relevant resumes before, during, and after the live event. It gives them that additional control feature to see the candidate pool and be empowered to connect in their own time for follow ups.

You can attend a job fair from your home office. With local companies all looking to hire, this is the perfect way to meet and interact with profiles online to share information and resumes.

Consider joining us for an upcoming area Job Fair. These are multi-profession, multi-industry VIRTUAL EVENTS where recruiters can safely connect live with area talent and maximize their recruiting efforts from the comfort of their own office.

It’s not a surprise that companies more and more are moving to virtual interviews in response to health concerns.

Moving job interviews and other interactions online in response to the outbreak only makes sense as companies switch to remote work across the organization.

With the right tools in place, this is actually making the recruiting job more straightforward.

“With so many individuals working from home right now, it is the perfect time to schedule video interviews and calls,” says Jeff Straub, Private Hiring Events CEO. “It is also creating an environment where top talent is reconsidering the job they are currently at. They might be more prone to make a switch for a better offer too!”

Recruiters have had a pipeline of candidates who have been considering a change. Now with most workers at home working remote, they are much easier to access via technology. Presenting the right opportunity where they are at online could get a higher response than when candidates were traveling, in the office, and on their commute.

“Some companies are waiting on their hiring efforts for negligible positions, but for those positions that must be filled immediately such as health care, call centers, and service technicians, the top talent will be snatched up by someone else in the meantime.” says Straub.

The lesson learned? If you absolutely know you’ve got to fill your pressed opening, take advantage of this time to get in front of as many top candidates as you can. We may never see such a unique opportunity of so many work-from-home talent as this and it’s best to make the most of it.

Because of the ever changing job seeker market, we’ve developed processes to leverage all the latest techniques and platforms AND private interview events to bring your best job seekers to you!

The New Trend Called “Resume-Blasting” – And How You Can Avoid It…

Posted by catalystcareergroupon February 17, 2020March 14, 2020in Hiring Technology

Here’s a growing trend we’ve been seeing across the board and expect to rise in 2020. More job seekers are embracing mobile job search and creating a culture of “resume-blasting”!

Mobile search is continuously on the rise, and if you think you can just post a job to your website and you’ll receive the top quality applicants in seconds of posting, you’re gravely mistaken.

Job search is happening on the train commute, late at night before bed, during lunch breaks at the cafe, and event while we wait in line at the grocery. Businesses that aren’t zoning in on taking advantage of the most optimized job ad will miss out on the largest selection of job seekers.

According to a survey by Glassdoor, 35% of applicants actually prefer to search and apply to job opportunities from a their own phone.

What does this mean for you? While it may be easy for them to make quick job searches, job seekers can’t quickly refine their resume as needed for each job description. That means, you’re actually getting MORE GENERIC RESUMES from what we call “resume-blasting behavior”.

Job seekers also apply to jobs without fully reading the requirements and performing a self-audit of professional skills needed. Instead, the characteristics of a “resume-blaster” is the tendency to put the onus on the hiring manager to sift through their resume to decide if they are a right fit.

More under-matched resumes means more work for you, more time the job sits open, AND lower quality candidates.

You need to hire fast. To hire quantity. And maybe even hire for those revolving turn-around positions. Because of the ever changing job seeker market, we’ve developed processes to leverage all the latest techniques and platforms AND interview events to bring your best job seekers to you!

When applicants use their phones, we reach them where they’re searching. When job seekers are “resume-blasting”, we sift through their details for better matches. When applicants hide behind their phones for “easy” online applying, we create LIVE hiring events that draw out hard-working, initiative-driven, interview-ready candidates!

Interested in meeting BETTER candidates in a casual setting BEFORE interviewing? We’ve got just what you need. Our major-city job fairs across the country or our crafted private-hiring events at your location are the FASTEST route to detouring the “resume-blast”.

Is Your Job Description Hurting Or Helping Your Hiring?

Posted by catalystcareergroupon January 7, 2020February 17, 2020in Job Descriptions

Is Your Job Description Hurting Or Helping Your Hiring?

It can be difficult to attract the right candidates for a role; particularly when it is the same job description from 5 years ago.

Do you know exactly what you will need from a candidate in the job today?

If you, as a hiring manager, receive a job description that is outdated and doesn’t include more recent bonus structures or flexibility options, it may need to go back to the department head for edits.

One of the fastest ways to check if the job description does need changes is to search for comperable job descriptions for similar positions.

Do the requirements match up? Does it require different skills? Are there adequate details about the expectations for pay incentives?

There may even be previous position specifics that did attract excellent candidates in the past.

This might help you see where today’s job description might need updating. It’s worth taking a closer look at how the job description is comparing against others in the industry. Some elements are especially worth emphasizing to attract the best candidate.

After thousands of job placements and job fairs, we have a system for attracting the ideal job seekers to your company at our job fairs or your private hiring events.

We can review all language and position benefits to help you capture the ideal prospects and fill your open positions faster! Contact Catalyst Career Group job fair recruiters for more information. >>
