How to manage events online and centrally with Inrecruiting
The social distancing practiced at the time of the health emergency has also transformed traditional event management. Organizing events online, as an alternative to in-person events, has been a shared practice for months now that, in addition to breaking down time and money limits, shortens distances and prevents direct contact between people.
In the HR field, to facilitate the management of career days, company presentations, speeches and any other opportunity to meet companies and candidates, especially in this period of emergency, Inrecruiting has released a new version of the module ‘Events’.
The management of recruiting events
Until a few months ago, if someone had told us that recruiting events would be managed exclusively online and in digital form, we would have found it a plausible hypothesis, but not for the short term. Instead, the spread of the health emergency triggered by Covid-19 has made what might have been a prediction for the future a reality, immediately making it a norm.
Recruiting days, company presentations and interviews: these are events and occasions scheduled or to be scheduled that, for this first phase of 2020, have been called upon to change their format (from real to virtual). Companies have equipped themselves by choosing solutions and tools that could facilitate the new management of events to avoid their cancellation. This is the case of platforms for digital communication, for online training or for recording video interviews. All solutions that sought to respond to a specific need: to maintain interaction between companies and candidates while respecting social distance.
The Events module of Inrecruiting
The new version of the Inrecruiting Events module allows you to create, schedule and manage online HR events. It is an additional feature of the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) available as an Add-On.
The Events module of Inrecruiting is designed for companies, Employment Agencies (LEAs), training institutions and university career services, human resources consulting companies, etc. that want to organize, on their own or in partnership with other companies, career days, company presentations, training and academy opportunities and other types of events that facilitate the meeting between companies and candidates in the world of work and human resources.
Create and customize the online event
The events module allows you to create and customize the single event and any speeches that make it up. In this way, you can host multiple speeches, business presentations and conferences that can be held in different “classrooms”, even simultaneously, and manage online the registration of participants as if they were candidates, even if the event should take place in presence.
In addition to the graphic customization, the event pages and the single speeches can report information related to:
- start/end of the event and of the speech
- title and description
- maximum number of participants (and possible reference to available seats)
- presence of partners (with the possibility of adding additional information, logo and description of the same)
- personalized registration form
Among the companies that have already chosen Inrecruiting to manage their online events, we recall the case of Start Hub Consulting, a consulting and services company for human resources, with Digital Recruiting Week. On this occasion, which counted 10,000 participants for its first edition in April 2020, the management of the event in online form allowed the meeting between partner companies and candidates. The latter participated in training workshops and company presentations, as well as having the opportunity to check out the job opportunities made available by the participating companies and, therefore, undertake the application process by accessing their reserved area.
Why manage online events with Inrecruiting
Managing online events with Inrecruiting means combining the advantages of online event organization with those of centralized management of an Applicant Tracking System (ATS). In this sense, it is possible to control the entire process from the creation of the event, to the registration and communication with the participant/candidate, up to the collection of CVs in the database. The latter can be useful to companies for possible future searches, but also to members who can apply for job ads visible from their private area. But let’s go in order.
The advantages of organizing events online
The advantages of online events are obvious to everyone, both on the company side and on the participant side:
- Reduction of time, space and management costs
- Simplified organization
- Constant communication for greater member satisfaction
- Automated registration data collection for companies
- Easier registration processes and more flexible number of seats available
- Ability to go online from home
- Supporting materials available in digital format
The benefits of centralized management with ATS Inrecruiting
The management of an online event in the HR field often results in the encounter between companies and candidates. As previously mentioned, this implies the possibility for the event participant to apply for a job, and for the company to use the CVs collected in the database during the registration phase for future search and selection activities.
In this sense, having an Applicant Tracking System such as Inrecruiting means managing in a single software the organization of the event and any future recruiting and application activities. In detail:
- Companies can manage the customization of the event (and other interventions) in a specific section within the ATS; collect the CVs of those registered in the database as if they were candidates and store them for future searches. They can post job announcements visible in the members’ private area; collect applications with customizable forms and communicate with event members.
- The participant can register online for the event, for specific speeches and consult, by accessing his private area, the job offers of the companies participating or organizing the event, starting the application process.
- Partner companies contribute to the management of the event; they have access to the planning and customization of their speeches; they also receive directly the CVs of those registered and can manage them within the software.
These are just a few of the countless benefits of centrally managing events online with the new event module included in ATS Inrecruiting. For more information, visit our website and request a demo.
