Get the most benefit from Careers Fairs and Careers Days by effectively managing all of the CVs and candidate profiles that you collect

It’s always the same story: the end of a Career Day or Fair marks the beginning of one of the main problems that recruiters face, screening all the CVs…

Some people prefer to collect them in paper format, others prefer to use Excel, but the problem still remains the same, you need to save the collected data, analyse it and find the ideal candidate amongst all the disorganised sheets and documents.

That’s why an Applicant Tracking System is a valuable tool to simplify CV collection during a Career Day. An ATS, as well as posting ads, serves the purpose of tracking and easily managing all the registered candidates, whether they have been submitted from ads or imported manually.

But how can an ATS best be exploited to collect applications on a Career Day?

In-recruiting provides complete usability of the system on mobile devices: you can register candidates via a tablet or smartphone. Or you can use a PC connected to the internet at the stand. You can populate the database in whichever way suits you:

1. Creating one or more specific vacancies for the Career Day or Fair: if you’re looking for different positions to fill in your business, you can register candidates directly to the ads so that you have the candidates already organised by function or profession. You can also customise your registration form based on the position you’re searching for, so you only have to complete the pertinent information and don’t waste time with unnecessary details.

2. Creating an ad-hoc registration form for the event: by integrating In-recruiting with your own corporate website or using the career page made available by our ATS, you can use a unique registration form. In this case it is even easier, the candidate simply completes the form and you have the information you need.

As soon as the candidate submits all their data, it will be recorded in the system in their reserved area, where they can add more information and view open positions at any time.
But also in addition to this In-recruiting offers automatic evaluation of the candidates. It’s possible to assign a score to each field of the form that the candidate completes, so that you have an immediate evaluation of the strength of their profile with the open position.

Using a tool like this, the post-Career Day scenario changes drastically! Instead of finding yourself in an office drowning in paper you have instant access to the best candidates from the day and can start working on follow up with them. And you will always have access to the database to search for candidates by TAG or a special field from the registration form.
