Feature descriptions
| Features | Description |
|---|---|
| Campus Events Builder | The Events Builder is similar to the builder for campus events in that all sections will be the same except that the Campus toggle must be enabled in the Overview step and a new Event Planning step will be added and filled out with budget and expense details. |
| Campus Activity | Campus activities can be used in the event planning process as supplemental reminders and tasks that need to be completed in association with an event. This allows recruiting teams to plan a campus initiative strategy for the fiscal year. |
| Lead Generation Events | Lead Generation events are campus events that do not require candidates to apply for a job to register for an event. Essentially, these events serve as a way to create a candidate pool that has the option of signing up for a Talent Community. |
| Event Budget & Expenses | Every campus event will include an Event Budget and Expenses section, where you will dictate items that will need to be purchased in order for the event to be successful. When the event is complete, the expenses need to be finalized from the event's Dashboard in order to track the planned vs. actual costs. |
| Approvals Builder | The Approvals Builder allows you to create approval flows for campus events that are created. This will ensure that events are only created after they are reviewed and approved. |
| Career Fair Mode | Career Fair Mode allows all campus event attendees to streamline the experience of capturing candidate details and scheduling candidates for follow-up interviews. This mode can only be opened via mobile web and Native Apps and is available for active in-person campus events. |
| Kiosk Mode | Kiosk Mode efficiently allows event managers to capture candidate data without wifi by having candidates register themselves without a capture conversation. Kiosk Mode Templates should be created to define the color palette and overall design experience for candidates when they complete an Event Registration Form in Kiosk Mode. This can be opened on desktop, mobile web, and Native Apps. |
| Event Registration Forms | Event Registration Forms include the questions that candidates are asked when registering for an event. These forms are then framed with a specific Kiosk Mode template when Kiosk Mode is launched. |
| Student / Candidate Evaluations | Event attendees can use student evaluations to assess students during campus events or conferences and capture their first impressions, which can help them make informed decisions afterwards. This can be opened on mobile web and Native Apps. |
| Event Settings |
Event Settings can be opened by full or view access event users and include the following sections:
|
| Offline Mode | Offline mode allows event attendees to complete essential tasks without relying on wifi. This is supported on Native Apps only. |
| Campus Profiles | Campus profiles help you organize all of your campuses. You can add school profiles where Campus Events will be held and organize areas. From these profiles, you can assign users who will be able to view candidates tied to this school’s events and enable Approval Flows for that school’s events. |
Product limitations
- This solution does not support the following products/features in some or all capacities:
- Referrals
- Generative Q&A (Event Candidate Q&A is not currently supported)
- Employee Management
- Career Sites (dynamically post events to your site (coming soon for Paradox career sites!))
- Browser Extension
- Accuracy of all user-facing event and campus features, especially language translations.
- We are not able to track the sourcing of applications. For example, if you meet a student at one event and have them apply to a job, then the system will not track that the student was sourced from this event automatically.
- There is not a full end-to-end ROI tracking of events/campuses.
- It’s difficult for us to track when a candidate applies for a job after attending an event.
- Virtual Event Interviews are only supported by Zoom, MS Teams, Webex, and Paradox Video.
- The video provider for event interviews matches the video provider of traditional interviews. The platform does not support two different video providers.
