Each virtual event takes place online on our platform. We do also offer hybrid and on-ground event scheduling options. For virtual events, participating organizations will have an account where they will register for an event, complete their profile, add users to their account, and establish a room for event day. Some events may allow organizations to set up a queue or virtual waitlist for candidates. Other events may allow for pre-scheduled meetings, offering candidates the option to sign-up for a meeting time slot or organizations the option to pre-select and invite specific candidates to sign-up for a meeting time slot. For most events, the participating organization will set event times where they may interact with registered candidates on event day either in a group, main room or in a private room. Each event has set event times and organizations are not required to have hours the entire time of the event. They may set the times to whatever works best for their recruiting needs. However, the event times do have to take place during the set hours of the event.


You may update missing profile information/add event times at any time. However, we encourage organizations to complete profile details and add their event times as soon as possible, as candidates will begin registering and reviewing organizations immediately once an event is live on the schedule.


The designated admin for the account may add new users through the 'Admin' section of the account dashboard. The admin will complete the following steps to add user(s):

  • Go to 'Admin'
  • Click on ‘Add New User’ (button to the right)
  • Enter the name and email address of the new user
  • Click on 'Save'

After saving, the new user will receive an automated email with their own unique login details which will grant them access to the account and registered events. Please note, only one registration is required to participate in an event. After registration is complete, if additional representatives need account access in order to participate in an event, they must be added to the account by the account admin.


There is no limit to the amount of representatives on the account.

You will also see a blue circle next to the candidates' names in the list of registered candidates for the event.

To distinguish different users by Display Name:

This is event specific and can be found within the 'Organizations Learn More' Button on the Event Landing Page, however most events allow up to 10 representatives simultaneously.


Representatives may stay and continue their interaction with the candidates. Representatives may leave at any time, which will show that no moderators are online. Leaving it open will allow candidates to be able to go back and see the main room's text history and download files. This is available to the candidates until Midnight in the event's time zone, on the day of the event, unless you close the room.


This is event specific. We typically cap the room at 100 participants per room.


If a room is full, a candidate will receive an alert. They will need to go to another room and try again later.


In the main room, organization representatives will be able to see new candidates appear at the bottom of the list, in the order in which they joined the room.


Organization representatives should have a strategy of how they want to engage with candidates. Depending on the size of the event and the number of representatives available, organizations might want to have a moderator interacting in the main group room while other reps are conducting private interactions or moderating the queue.


An organization representative can invite a candidate to a private conversation. The candidate will receive a notification and a new tab will open with the representative’s name. A candidate may also initiate a private conversation with an organization representative by clicking the ellipsis next to the representative's name and inviting them to a private conversation. The organization representative will receive a notification and a new tab will appear with the candidate’s name. To view the messages, you would simply click on their name or their tab.


There is not a limit to simultaneous private text interactions. Only 1 private audio/video interaction can take place at a time.


Organization representatives may initiate a video or audio with candidates when in a private conversation.


Organization representatives would need to open the private room window first. Then, click on the camera or microphone button to start their video and audio, or audio only.


Yes, we highly recommend for organization representatives to login to the event prior to event day to test out the text and video/audio/screen shared functions.


You can have up to 3 individuals sharing audio/video at one time.


You can have multiple individuals sharing their video or audio (up to 3), but the individual screen share will only allow audio, as there is no way to also share your webcam simultaneously. The person sharing their screen and 2 other individuals can broadcast video or audio only during a presentation. Only 1 representative can share their screen at a time.


Not at this time, but each organization can access a transcript of their main, queue, meeting, and private rooms.
