    If you wish to report on these planning fields, they must be tied to an Event Attribute. Event Attributes are configured in System Attributes, more configuration details for Event Attributes can be found here.

    Not sure what attributes to build or if you should add a Candidate Attribute vs. an Event Attribute? Click here and navigate to Step #2 to learn more.

     

    Step #3: Update user permissions

    Reference this Permissions section to determine what access users will need to best utilize various campus features.

    Step #4: Build approval flows (optional)

    If you are utilizing approval flows for campus events, then ensure to set up approval flows as needed and assign them to their corresponding schools. Click here to learn more.

    Step #5: Set up campus profiles

    Add all of the schools/campuses where you will host events. Click here to learn how to add the necessary school profiles.

    Step #6: Create student evaluations (recommended, optional)

    If you are utilizing student evaluations, then you will need to create student evaluations that your team members can use to evaluate students/candidates during a campus event. Click here to learn more.

    Step #7: Create the pre-event & on-site registration conversations

    Build your pre-event and on-site registration conversations that will be used in your Campus Events. Learn how to build Hiring Event Conversations here.

    Step #8: Add Kiosk Mode templates and event registration forms (recommended, optional)

    If you are going to use Kiosk Mode, where students/candidates must register for an event offline, then you will need to design the Kiosk Mode experience and create the event registration forms that candidates/students will complete when registering for the event. Learn more about Kiosk Mode and Event Registration Forms here.

    Step #9: Create pre-event & on-site phone numbers

    Your CS Representative will configure the pre-event and on-site phone numbers and keywords for you.

    Step #10: Create custom event planning fields

    You can create custom event planning fields that can be available within the default campus event creation process or be tied to specific event templates. Creating these fields and templates in advance makes the campus event creation process more efficient and consistent every time. Learn more about creating custom event planning fields here.

    IMPORTANT NOTES: It is strongly recommended that all answer options for all questions are list select Custom Candidate Attributes, with the expectation for free-entry questions that will not require future tracking, filtering, and complex reporting needs.

     

    Step #11: Add custom event planning fields to event templates

    Learn more about how to add custom event planning fields to an event template here.

    Step #12: Create a campus event

    Create a campus event based on an event template or from scratch within the Events Builder. Reference this Campus Events Builder documentation to get you started. If you want to create a campus event without interviews and to generate leads, create a Lead Generation event.

    • Note: For efficiency purposes, you may want to build event templates and then create events based on those templates. Click here to learn more.

    Step #13: Host/attend the campus event

    If the event is in person, then ensure to check students/candidates in; register candidates, schedule interviews, and add candidate information via Career Fair Mode; have candidates register themselves for an event in Kiosk Mode or via keyword; and complete Student Evaluations, as needed.

    Step #14: Finalize event budget and expenses

    Once the event is complete, add in your actual event costs and finalize your expenses. Follow the process outlined here.
