Welcome!
Thank you for choosing TAOnline for your virtual career fair service needs. This procedure guide will walk you through the steps to a successful recruiting event. The 8 steps are presented in the chronological order by which they should be executed. We recommend reading through each step before performing any outlined.
Supply Booth Setup Materials
When: right away...
Supply your TAOnline account representative with the following booth related materials quickly. With these materials, we'll be able to create your booth tile that presents the job seeker with information about your company and an entry point to your booth.
Providing these materials in a timely manner will ensure that job seeker registrants can view them beforehand and be prepared during the event:
- Company name, main website URL, careers webpage URL, headquarter address
- Full description of your company (the industry, what it does, etc) - typically the “About Us” page of your website
- Company logo (120x60px jpg, gif, or png file)
- Brief paragraph of why job seekers want to work at your company
- Booth media items - any document files (pdf, doc, xls, pptx, etc) or video links (YouTube, Vimeo, etc) you want to make available to job seekers
Schedule Your Recruiters and Supply Their Information
When: right away...
Determine what recruiters will attend the event and ensure they are aware of the schedule.
- If they are only available for part of the event, indicate the time slot of their availability
- TAOnline recommends 3 or more recruiters to ensure all desired candidates are handled and have low wait times
Supply your TAOnline account representative with the following recruiter information:
- Recruiter name, title, location (city, state, country)
- Profile image of each recruiter (100x100px jpg, gif, png file) - this is important for personalizing conversations
- Description of the recruiter's goal as it refers to the career fair
Schedule a Booth Moderator
When: right away...
When a job seeker enters your booth, among other features, they are presented with a booth chat area. The booth moderator is an individual that should oversee the chat area. They can then answer general company questions and guide a job seeker to the appropriate recruiter (ie: the one with the shortest wait time, or one that is more suited for the candidate.) Along with the recruiters, the booth moderator should also be scheduled to attend the event. TAOnline does not recommend using one of the recruiters for this purpose.
Advertise the Event
When: in a few days...
TAOnline will advertise the event through its numerous media channels, but to gain increased exposure specific to your company, we highly recommend that you market the event via your channels as well. If needed, TAOnline will provide you with a non-company specific job seeker landing page including complete event information, registration link, and steps to proceed.
Recruiters Preview Registered Candidates
When: a week prior to the event...
- A week before the event, recruiters can log in to review and search the resumes of registered candidates
- Recruiters can add attendees to their candidate inbox, add notes, and send invitations to those of interest to ensure they attend the booth for a conversation
- A day prior to the event, recruiters should repeat the search for newly added registrants
Attend the Event
When: on event day...
- We recommend that recruiters log into the event a half an hour prior to get familiar with the platform. Upon the first login, recruiters will be presented with a brief slideshow that walks them through the functionally of the system. Beyond the slideshow, it’s also a good time to peruse the platform to become more familiar with the various features
- During the event, a Booth Moderator from your company should be available to oversee the TAOnline booth chat feature
- A half an hour prior to and throughout the event, an TAOnline Event Moderator will be on-call via chat to answer any recruiter questions that may arise
Take Advantage of Post Event Services
