vFairs helps university hires with new automatic job board

After leading the market as a top-rated online event platform, vFairs continues innovating to address pain points in the recruitment sector. vFairs has revamped its Job Board offering with a new look and feel, and brand new feature set designed to solve issues such as data entry that universities have historically struggled with.

When implementing a job board, universities and colleges have to assign resources to either chase down employers to keep updating their jobs or manually copy over the latest job listings and expire closed ones. For a number of organizations, this challenge becomes an obstacle in adopting job boards. However, vFairs aims to solve this with a unique solution.

“We understand that Career Services focus on facilitating the connecting between top employers and their student base but don’t have the liberty to spare resources to drive a technological product and operations. We identified this problem time and time again with the several customers who conduct virtual job fairs for us and with our job board product, we aim to lay these obstacles to rest - once and for all.”

With every job board instance, vFairs also offers a scraping service to automatically harvest job postings from career sites of partner employers and publish them on the job board. Universities simply indicate who their affiliated employers are or share consolidated Excel sheets, and vFairs takes care of the rest. This eliminates the typical hassle university representatives face and their work is reduced to minimal moderation tasks.

Here are other highlights of the vFairs job board platform:

• The Job Board remains live throughout the year and isn’t dependent on the core product (virtual job fairs). This expands opportunities for both employers and candidates to recruit and apply for positions all-round the year.
• Job seekers can have access to job descriptions, save jobs, and apply with just a few clicks. They can also choose to set up alerts for upcoming jobs, eliminating their chance to miss out on an opportunity.
• On the other hand, employers can advertise vacancies and access applications, not just for their posted jobs, but also for the entire resume database present on the job board.
