    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.

    This is not supported on desktop or for past events.

     

    Navigation

    From the Event Dashboard, a new Career Fair Mode widget will display on mobile web and Native Apps. Click the Launch Career Fair Mode button to access this feature.

    The landing page will then open where you can either search for a candidate or add a new candidate.


    Search experience

    When you click Search for Candidate from the landing page, a search bar will display where you can search for a registered candidate.

    The system will auto-populate a list below this search bar when the entered characters match the candidate’s first or last name, email address, or phone number.

    Click the candidate’s name to open their Candidate Summary and relevant event details.


    Available actions

    Check in a candidate (registration only)

    Events that include event registration can check in candidates via Career Fair Mode. Otherwise, this button will be hidden.

     

    To check in a candidate, search for them within Career Fair Mode and then click Check-in within their Candidate Profile.

    Add a candidate

    Candidates manually added to an event will be automatically checked in to the event.

     

    If a candidate is not registered, they can be manually added to the event.

    When searching for a candidate and no results are found, an + Add Candidate button will display. Click this to open a new page where you can enter in the candidate’s information and even take a picture of their resume, if available. Click Save Candidate Info to add them to the event.

    Once added, the candidate’s status will be updated to Registration Confirmed.

     

    The candidate’s Candidate Summary will then be displayed.

    Existing candidate logic

    When adding a new candidate to the system through Career Fair Mode, their registration will go through a validation process.

    • If already registered to an event, a modal will display with the candidate’s existing registration and a View Candidate Profile button will display, allowing the user to view the profile if needed.
    • If not registered to an event but a profile was found in the CEM, then a Duplicate Candidate modal will display, allowing the user to merge the candidates.

    Add a resume

    For new candidates or existing candidates without a resume, click the + Capture Resume button below their listed information. This will open your camera app where you can take a picture of the candidate’s resume.

    Update a resume

    You can easily update a resume by retaking the photo listed for the candidate’s resume. To do this, open the preferred Candidate’s Summary and then click View Resume. A new page will open where you can view the candidate’s current resume. Click Retake Resume Capture at the bottom of the screen to retake a photo of the candidate’s resume.

    Updated photos will replace the resume within the Candidate’s profile in the CEM.

    Schedule an interview

    You can easily schedule an interview from the Candidate Summary.

    1. Search for the preferred candidate.
    2. When their Candidate Summary opens, click Schedule Interview.
    3. In the new page that opens, click the preferred interview session.
    4. Select the time in the event’s time zone that you want to schedule the candidate and then click Confirm at the bottom of the page.
    5. Click Confirm & Schedule on the next page to schedule the interview.

    The scheduled interview’s details will then display in the Interview Scheduled card below the candidate’s general information.

    Reschedule or cancel an interview

    You can reschedule or cancel an interview by opening the Candidate’s Summary, clicking the corresponding action within the Interview Scheduled card, and completing the action.

    No Availability

    When there are no remaining interview spots for an event session, then it will be disabled and displayed as read-only. If all event sessions have been filled, then a No available interview spots indicator will be listed on the Candidate Summary.


    Career Fair Mode icons

    When in Career Fair Mode, the following icons will display next to candidate names to provide additional details about actions that have been taken on them.

    The following icons may be displayed:

    – This indicates that the registered student was checked in to the event.

    – This indicates that the candidate’s evaluation has been completed.

    – This indicates that the candidate is scheduled for an event interview.
