What is the main purpose of a recruitment event?
The main purpose of a recruitment event is to reach out to the right candidates and select the best possible candidate at the right time.
What is the purpose of recruitment events for Employers?
Employers can reach out the highest volume of candidates at fairs and quickly screen potential candidates. This can be done in face-to-face yet in a more open atmosphere in comparison to a formal interview.
Employers can build up candidate’s summary as they use this platform to find out the career goals and get a more distinct profile of the candidates. It is a opportunity for employers to educate job seekers of their organisation and build employer branding.
