Expand your network
Campus recruitment means visiting different campuses and interviewing the candidates one by one. The number of campus visits and candidates is limited in this. But virtual campus recruitment opens up the network and helps you hire the best of talent across the region/state.
Sourcing
There are a number of options available to source the candidates online, social media, for example is a great tool. And for online campus recruitment, you need not to personally visit the campus and yet get in touch with the young talent. And follow the hiring process virtually.
Involvement
To encourage the involvement of the candidates in the recruitment process virtually, there is no set time/date you need to follow. You can always collaborate with prospective candidates by inviting them to read articles, blogs, and watch videos of your organization.
Save time & money
Virtual campus recruitment is always a win-win situation for an organization as well as the young graduates. Those looking for job opportunities can easily connect without any hassles with their prospective employer and vice-versa. Therefore, it saves a lot of time and money.
Virtual Campus Recruitment Events
There are a number of events conducted worldwide for recruiting young talent. Try to be a part of those events. Get in touch with the higher authorities of the college and universities. Promote your recruitment page on social media and ask for referrals from your social circle.
Some events that are of great help for hiring talent online:
Virtual job fair
Just like an offline campus job fair, a virtual job fair allows you to connect with the students, screen the applicants, collect information, host interviews and assessments. Candidates also share their resumes and achievements online with you and you can interview them through video conferencing.
Information sessions
A candidate is also surrounded by a number of questions. In order to handle all those queries, the company can provide virtual information sessions through their CEOs, HR managers, department heads, or employee panels. The important information on product/service, projects, company culture, mission, vision can also be shared with the candidates over video conferencing.
Webinars
Webinars have become the essence of the work environment these days. Webinars for the professional development of the young candidates where they can be educated on how to search for a job? How to prepare yourself for an interview? And so on.
Virtual assessments
You can easily assess the prospective candidates remotely with the help of online exam software. You will be amazed to know how online tests simplify recruitment in 2023. With this software, you can smoothly assess a number of candidates simultaneously. Again, it saves time and money for the recruiter as well as the candidate.
